Done! DoneDoneDoneDone!

I finished the final polish on GOOD HUSBAND MATERIAL today and sent it off. That sucker is done.

It's so funny, but this is the book that, while I was in the middle of it I thought it was the worst piece of **** I'd ever written. But as I read it through this time, after only about a week's break from it, I loved it. Rob had a lot of margin notes on it, for sure. But overall it's one of the more emotional stories I've written. A plotless wonder, kind of angsty.

Maybe I shouldn't put so much plot in my books. A plotless wonder is harder to write, but maybe all that plot impedes my character development. Something to think about.

I went for a nice long walk today and also to yoga class (my arms are going to be so sore tomorrow). But I'm so proud of myself because I have actually learned how to push up into a backbend from the floor. Every day when I do my little home yoga practice, I try. And for weeks, it seemed like there was no way my arms would ever be strong enough. Then, a couple of days ago, BOOM, it just happened. I am still working on lotus--I can do a half-lotus, which is something I couldn't do a few months ago. But that may be as far as I ever get. Does your body get to a point where it simply refuses to become more flexible?

I came home and made myself some squash soup which wasn't half bad, though I didn't have a recipe.

No interesting birds today except a few fat doves.

Thanks for stopping by,
Kara
