How great to find we are connected by another writer! I do write long-hand first, then type it in, then print it out, then write long-hand, etc. etc. I have learned to recycle paper-I use a lot of it! I will keep you posted on the new book — it’s a ways away from being an ARC at this point, but stay tuned! heidi

It’s so nice to see that you and your fabulous book have connected with Cynthia. You look so happy in this photo for obvious reasons. I’m pleased to hear that The Girl has been on such a long and successful tour. That’s very unusual with a debut. I sympathize with the pain of lacking time to write as I struggle with that when my kids are home or when we are traveling. We go to the farmers’ market on Saturdays too, and I need to exercise daily in order to write. I also need a laptop for everything other than notes on the go – how interesting that you write longhand. Best of luck with your next novel – I’d love an ARC to review on my blog.

Cynthia, thanks for inviting Heidi here. Sorry to be so slow to visit. I just sent a rewrite of my adult MS to my agent yesterday after working 7 days a week for 4 weeks around the kids. Things are much easier now that they are back to school. Today we’re going to the beach and tomorrow we’re getting a puppy. Life is good.

🙂 it’s essential on many days when I’m just feeling really down on the writing I’m doing! And great to see how we are connected by more people too!

I love two things: that you only write in Moleskine, (do you write everything by hand, first, then?) and, that you drink coffee from a bendy straw.
I’m wish you well on your next project as I am eager to read it.
