Reviews"The storyline was pure reading heaven..." - Talia Ricci, Joyfully Reviewed, for Riding Partner "This
novella is an erotic romance and delivers on both counts - it is quite romantic
and is full of some hot bed play." Marina, Cupid's Library Reviews for Revealing
Photos " UNDER HER SKIN is so much more than a wonderful romance, it’s
a lesson in love and acceptance. It is an experience not to be missed."

 I'm a plotter, not a pantser, so yesterday I hammered out the outline for my NaNoWriMo novel for this year. For those who haven't heard of NaNoWriMo, it's National Novel Writing Month, when thousands of people across the world try to hammer out a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. That's only 1667 words a day, or about 4-6 pages. I also started running. What do these two things have in common? Plans. I'm pleased to say I ended the month running 29 miles. Competing in the "Chubby Ladies" challenge at nikeplus, I ended up 13th out of about 24 participants. Considering I hadn't run a mile in my entire single life (and yeah, these are run-walk miles, but I'm taking what I can get), I am ecstatic. No, I didn't come in first. I didn't come in last either. I finished. A novel is like that. The only race is against yourself. And finishing is half the battle. (The other half comes from revisions and edits, LOL!!!). It takes a plan, like the one NaNoWriMo participants have, to finish a novel. A little bit a day adds up. A page a day means 365 pages a year and that's a substantial novel. I have my training plan for running and my outlines/plotlines for my writing. Plan away, I say. Plan away! To all who are doing NaNoWriMo - good luck!!!! Happy writing!
