Good morning. I couldn't find my glasses when I got up. Last night, when I took them off so I could pull my top over my head, I laid my clothes down on top of the glasses, which I had set on top of the dresser. This morning, feeling around in the semi-dark, refusing to turn the light on because Michael was still asleep, I couldn't find them. After searching the bathroom, the kitchen, my office, I finally figured out what must have happened.
It's a helpless feeling not to have vision. For the longest time, that was my trouble with the novel I was writing. I just didn't have clear vision. I sort of knew where I wanted to go, but I didn't see how to get there.
Well, I finally finished the first draft a month ago, and after letting it sit for a while to gain some perspective, I'm going to shut myself in my office today and read the whole thing straight through. Or at least attempt to do so—it's about 470 pages long. After that, I'll be able to see if the vision held true.
I hope you all find clarity today.
I hope you all find clarity today.

I always have to step away from a project to get perspective too. It seems that if you're so close to something for so long, it's tough to see it after a while.
I can't wait to hear how you liked it!! I'm waiting for it to be published so I can get a copy and send it to you for an autograph.
Your writing rocks!! And I'm dying to know what happens with Lily and Max!
XOXOXOX
