News:  Big thanks to all who bought Echo!  And Especially Big Thanks to Melissa, Barbara, Ian, Lorna, [anonymous], Lisa and Meg for leaving me awesome reviews!!!

Still on my 1k a day word push.  Last week, I fell down on the job (didn’t write on Christmas) and today I didn’t do the 1k because I noticed a hitch in the logic of the story’s events and I started asking, well why don’t they do this?  Why don’t they just [easy solution that takes away from the theme]?  Kind of like when you see a really easy solution in a movie that the characters are too dumb to take so it makes you respect them less.  So I had to revise the events of a few chapters.  Arrgh!  (Much easier writing the beginning of the story, when there’s not as much previous setting/events you have to work around.)  Anyways, today I spent my allotted writing time fixing that instead of drafting.

I’m still aiming to have this second volume out in February, the way I’m going, but I’m definitely going to make sure it reads smooth before that happens.  Hazel, Melissa, and some others, I am keeping you firmly in mind and am working to meet your expectations so that you get a quality story on time!  Haha!  (Awesome/Appreciative readers inspire you to work harder than any boss, let me tell you)

Anyways, back to work!  To all you writers, I wish you inspired drafting and insightful editing!
