My current manuscript, the first book in my new Varsity Magic series, is due to the publisher this spring. I’ll post a countdown as the writing proceeds–it’s motivating for me to watch the word count creep up, to know that I’m making progress.
Today, I’m at 22,417. Last week was pretty productive; this week, not so much. I’m nearing the end of my holiday break, which means a new word goal each day. I spent the writing portion of this first day of ’09 adding scenes from individual files into the master manuscript file. It’s not a system I typically use, but this is my first time writing on two computers–a desktop and my trusty laptop. The file has been prepped…and now to the writing of it.
Hi from a fellow Chicago writer! I saw your PM listing and wanted to stop by and say hello. I’m debuting in 2009 too!
Can’t wait to read about vampires at Wrigley Field!

Thanks, Maureen! Good luck on your ’09 debut!!
