Hello everyone! Well, I did it, I retired from teaching, and one week in I'm a little lost. I'm usually really good about keeping to a schedule and accomplishing goals and this week I think I've accomplished doing maybe one load of laundry. So, this week I'm talking about how I hear other writers handle this self-disciplined writing life and also about how I've come to view romance in the scope of YA novels. Oh yeah, also how I'm super gullible about stories of dramatic artists throwing themselves over the cliffs in the south of France. Ya know, classic Ophelia.
