Monday slipped past me in a blur of edits, and Wednesday almost ran away when my back was turned.

So, a quickie for you, lest you think I’ve languished away in some dark corner of the Internet. I’m here. I’m just being quiet. Sometimes you have to lay still and quiet in the foliage so the plot bunnies and the dancing characters don’t know you’re watching.

This week’s question over at the Confabulator Cafe is about the techniques we use to keep readers turning the page. Tough question. There’s always the concern that I’m going to come off sounding egotistical when I answer something like that. Who’s to say I am coaxing people into turning the page? And if they are, do I know what I did to make that happen?

I answered the best that I could. My post One Good Turn went up this morning.

Other than that, not much to report. Edits on Pooka in My Pantry should all be finished up this week. We’re down to the last fifty pages or so.

Epiphany hit a few days ago, and I now know what I was missing in Fairies in My Fireplace. The writing will go much more smoothly now that I’ve untangled the knots that were holding me up. But first, edits.

Then I’ve got nothing holding me back. So, there’s that.

I’ll try not to let Friday slip past me. See you real soon!
