I love Matt's book! It launched a major overhaul of my novel-in-progress (his advice to rewrite your novel from the first word- seemed like sheer insanity, but it made all the difference in the world to this writer).
I love the goals you've set for yourself and the progress you are making. You're right- the heart wants what it wants and you are following the spark to wherever it leads you. This is such an inspiring post, Chrissy. I'm cheering you on!
Thanks, Julie! I finished the book last week and the last section, about final edits, was life-changing. I immediately cut the first and last sentence of every scene and WOW what I was doing with my life before that???
I appreciate this idea about the "book that wants to be written." You aim to try something else, but keep coming back to it. I have felt this many times.

I KNOW RIGHT!? I preached it to my novel-writing class this fall.
I'm now obsessed with paragraph widows. :-)
