Right now, though, the writing is going a little slow. I think it might be because I'm writing book 5 of a 6-book series, and I'm already starting to think about the series I'm going to work on next, so shiny new WIP idea is itching for my attention and is distracting me.Nicole Zoltackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464800543376449290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552707317670752823.post-21107994398829829502016-10-10T17:30:38.312-04:002016-10-10T17:30:38.312-04:00Looks like you have been reading some great books....Looks like you have been reading some great books. :) <br /><br />Awesome that you have kept up your daily writing and I love that you are going to challenge yourself.
