One of the nice things about the house is that my office (yes, I finally get my OWN office) is right beside the bedroom, which makes it handy for when I get up at 5:30 in the morning to write. The bad thing is that in order to function at 5:30 in the AM, I have to load up on coffee first.

It’s great you’re having fun with your writing, again. I certainly hope you’re wrong about that 2010 date, though!
