One of the great things about attending an RWA National Conference in your own back yard is that you can get right down to work on the energy surge. That’s a good thing, too; I got my marching orders from Dream Agent. The short version: polish and send Little League, two chapters and a treatment for both the Hell’s Belles and Arden Grove series, and one completely new idea. Oh, and nuke The Five Step Plan and start over. Le sigh.

So I have homework, and lots of it, added to the assignment I’d already given myself: Graduate to a big girl writer website. A full day’s pondering and playing with iWeb later–okay, and much of the night, since I got in flow state and didn’t stop working until 3 am–and here you have it.

I’ve been maintaining a blog for five years now, but now it’s time to shift focus to the books. The archives for the dish will live on in Blogger’s servers. I’ll be lifting some solid posts from the dish to re-use here. And yes, the Bed/Dinner boys will be coming with me.

I’m excited. Feels like I’ve washed that stasis out of my hair and sent it on its way.
