I'm Writing as Fast as I Can . . .

My little fingers are sore (really!). My agent is interested in seeing a partial manuscript for The Suspicious Room, which, as you all know, is basically less than one step removed from a rough draft, even if there are more than 50,000 words for it now. (Writing is typing. That's how you make novels grow. That's how I got that many words on the page.) But boy, does what I have need to be cleaned up and made presentable. And I told her I'd do it ten days! Can we all say, "overly optimistic"? But I was excited. So that's what I'm up to. Hope to have more news soon. Also I'm beginning to plan teaching gigs for this year - will post plans for that when final! How do you all like the idea of "Flash Fiction Boot Camp"? I think that could a fun class.
