I haven’t been. I’ve let my novel slip horribly due to all the stupid but necessary wrangles that have been going on in my life. But things are calming down a little now. An excerpt of the first chapter was read out last night, and chapter nine is underway. Just need to keep the pace

My head is full of the characters, plot and setting of the Twilight series. This is not good. I thought reading Exodus would act as an antidote, but I just can’t get into it because it’s written in the present tense and Twilight is just too close to what I was originally working on. So,
