As Katie and I were talking tonight, as we do almost every Saturday, I tell her nothing changed.

The editor still has the first book, I’m still in school, and life is pretty much the same as it’s been for the last couple of weeks. She says, “So you’re stuck!” After laughing for a second, I realize she’s right. As usual — she’s gotta teach me that trick.

The only thing that’s changed is NaNo is going on, so I’m writing book two for it.

Maybe being in the same place isn’t a bad thing. My basic needs are being met. I’m happy. I’m writing almost every day.

And that’s not a bad place to be.
