I've been stumped on my book. I'd gotten to about 27,000 words and realized I had a rather major plot problem. The main character needed to do something, but she was in no position to do it. So I've been rewriting my outline, working on the plot, and rethinking some characters.

Moon Flowers has been at one publisher for several months longer than it should be. So has the trio of picture books about Noah and his good dog, Ruff. I've given up hope of hearing back from either publisher and am going to send them out again. The publisher that has Moon Flowers asked for more time a while back, but at this point I'm thinking they've lost the manuscript, or returned it and the mail man delivered it to the wrong address. I'm feeling like it will be a true miracle if I ever publish anything again.

Elizabeth had seating auditions for orchestra and moved WAY up. =) Good job, Elizabeth! She is an excellent violinist, BTW, and I love listening to her practice.

OK, it's 11pm. I'm off to bed, where I should have been a couple of hours ago.

Book recommendation of the night: The Green Glass Sea. Don't remember who it's by, and it's too late to go check. Good read, though =)
