I'm finally doing it! I'm writing the novel that has been swimming in my head for almost a decade. It's amazing what a major health crisis and a birthday will do for your motivation. A friend of mine wrote a moving (and somewhat erotic) story about me as a birthday gift, and it woke up the author in me. I ran some of my story ideas by him, and his approval, enthusiasm for the story, and moral support were the final ingredients of inspiration for me to get this novel written. Now comes the hard part: organizing 10 years worth of character and plot synopses. This is my labor of love!
