I have to write 120 pages before March 2nd. My goal is 12 pages a day.
And I have reached my goal for today! Woohoo!
I'm going to keep a running total here on my blog so I can track my progress. :)
The trick to this kind of long haul is to take several breaks for yoga, meditation, hot baths, and Elvis' 1968 Comeback special.

Technical difficulties.
Right now, my pre-order links aren't working. Kensington (my publisher) is making some adjustments and you will be able to pre-order again soon!
Watch this space for more updates. :)
In the meantime, here is some Viennese coffee and Sacher Torte to keep you entertained.

Yet another trip to the Chinese Garden.
I love going to the Garden of Awakening Orchids in downtown Portland. It is the perfect place to gather my thoughts, look at the dizzying array of plants and buildings, and then drink tea and eat moon cakes at the Tao of Tea, also known as the Tower of Cosmic Reflections.
I like to go there when my brain has been reduced to a blithering ball of mush. I then take quick snapshots on my cell phone to jolt my creative side to see things from a different angle. Last week, I visited the second floor of the tea house for the first time.
*Above left - I really loved my cranberry-orange tea and tarot root moon cake. They were the perfect accompaniments for contemplation on a rainy day.
*Above right - the Garden was putting up decorations for the Chinese New Year.
*Left- It's hard to see, but I really loved this little dragon's, "Oh, hai!" face. It was adorable.
The rest of my pictures turned out fuzzy, but that was ok. I wasn't taking them for any other reason than to re-fill my word well. :)
