An Upstart Author--Shantal Sessions

So much has been happening!
Here's the the update: I've hired an editor who has been working on my book while I've been overwhelmed with some huge projects.

I haven't been able to write a word for almost a month. Whoa!
Good excuses. Worked on Mary Poppins with one son and got another son home. BIG time for our family, and I wouldn't have missed working on these projects for the world. I'm so grateful for the opportunities. Hopefully, I can spend more time with my story soon. I miss it.

*Shrugs* Life of a writer:)

I know some readers hate them, but in this case, I really think it works.

I finished writing chapter 15 of my sequel and ended on a cliffhanger. I had my son read it because there was a lot of action and I wanted to make sure it worked on a guy level and he said, 
"So, how's your hero gonna get out of that?" 
*Chills!!!*
Oh, I've chosen an editor for my first book, someone who I'm confident understands my story and my writing style and who will bring many good suggestions to the table. I really want this book of mine to shine. I'm really thinking this thing will finally be ready this year.
