Drama and Trauma

Yes, Fio is running late on her revisions, but it's a miracle that she is running at all.  Everything struck at once--she's been burning the midnight oil on revisions, her printer gave up the ghost, and her internet connection disconnected.  And it all happened on the day before she'd promised her revisions.

One panic attack and three hour on the road to Click Computers and Fry's and Fio's electronicized again, but those revisions are even further behind.

Gimme a break!

Angst and Elation

Fiorella is ON A ROLL!  She's been laboring her way through the second book in her contract, determined to have it ready to send off to her publisher by March 1, but a tiny flare of panic flickered in her cerebral cortex (or wherever panic dwells).  What if she couldn't finish WHERE THE HEART LEADS, if she hit an impasse, if the book was too awful for her to acknowledge?

But you know Fio--she plugged on.  And for the past couple of days, her mental spark plugs seemed to be trying to ignite.  Yesterday, they did, like crazy. Fiorella's frenzied fingers flew across the laptop, and she liked what she saw.

WHERE THE HEART LEADS is a winner.
