There is nothing better than being in the zone - time and space disappear, and you really do become one with your story. I am waiting to get some changes and suggestions back from a copy editor, so I can get down to business as far as reworking my novel to make it more cohesive. I'm reading, Identical Strangers - the true story of twins who didn't know they had a twin - and who meet each other at the age of 35, and, on deck is, Dreams from My Father, by our President-Elect!

I'm in the middle of Sun Also Rises, Cat's Eye, the Sookie Stackhouse #5, and some other stuff I can't remember.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to hear what you think about the Edgar Sawtelle book.<BR/><BR/>Oh! And I was just thinking that when I read <A HREF="http://www.ericaorloff.com/blog/2008/11/choosing-characters-blog-guest-joe.html" REL="nofollow">Erica Orloff's blog interview today</A>, that you might love that book.
