New WIP (Work in Progress): 1st Draft, Progress Report
In January 2009, I began work on a new, still unnamed medieval novel. I will be keeping track of my progress here. Maybe reporting to you, my readers, will help to keep me on target! (What is that target? Simply to keep writing, always keeping in mind my writing motto: "Some days are better than others".)
KEEPING IN MIND THAT THIS BOOK IS VERY, VERY, VERY MUCH IN FLUX:
