And I can;t even blame the dog I don't have for eating the homework I didn't do :-).<br />So why am I late? Well _ I confess, I was away with the fairies. Or at least, the Flowers. I was guest blogging over at Gail Roughton Branan's 'Flowers on the Fence: http://flowersonthefence.blogspot.com/2012/01/of-shadows-and-light.html<br />I think she's still speaking to me. I hope she's still speaking to me (blushes).<br />I that post, I offered the beginning of a WIP I have. Or the skeleton of a WIP.

For now, my goal is to just keep my blog up. I'm trying to post a minimum of three times a week this month and work up gradually to blogging every day by summer.<br /><br />I am also trying to find a writing group here. I moved here three years ago and haven't found one yet.
