Playing Catch Up!

After a double computer crash in early November that set me back at the beginning of the month, I'm happy to again be up and running. I recently took a NaNo prep course through Pennwriters taught by Susan Meier. Susan's tips are a fantastic way to get ready for not only NaNo, but any writing project. If you haven't checked out her website, you owe it to yourself to check it out. She's got something for readers and writers alike, and her workshops totally rock! My goal for NaNo was to complete the story of Kat and Kassian, but somewhere in the course of preparing, Max Logan took over and hers is the story that found its way onto the page. In Death Benefits,Thirty-something Maxine Logan is divorced, depressed, and dysfunctional, living over her father’s garage and generally in a major rut. Just when she thinks things can’t get any worse, she finds herself dead; the victim of a D.I.E (Death in Error) caused by an overeager Grim Reaper in Training. She brokers a deal to be sent back to Earth as a temporary substitute for the Superintendent of Spiritual Impediment. Can a girl who can’t recognize her own problems rectify the issues of the living impaired? Or will she discover that concentrating on their issues gives her a new perspective on her own?

Now on to Kat and Kassian...sometimes I despair that their story will ever be completed! But, hope springs eternal...
