Seems I'm starting to get wordy. Auction Surprise is already over 2k words and I've hardly begun. I was hoping to have it ready to read at my Saturday writers group. Looks like it will be several weeks before I can do that. Maybe that wordiness is preparing me for all the words I'll need to complete a novel.
Somebody at the group brought up a conference in August called Killer Nashville. I looked it over. I could stay with Janet in Spring Hill. I'll keep it in mind.
