This is K.M. Wyland and you are listening to the 194th episode of the wordplay podcast.

After all the crazy busyness of the winter, I'm finally seeing an end in sight.

I finished my latest rewrite of my historical work in progress the deepest breath a month or so ago and

it's been visiting betas ever since.

My pile of research books for my historical fantasy storming has dwindled to a bare handful and I'm staring down the final

chapters in the first draft of the Annotated Jane Eyre.

If all goes well, I'm thinking I should be finished with all my current projects by the middle of April.

After a week or so a vacation to regroup my tattered brain cells, I then get to dive into Storming's first draft. Needless to say, I can't wait.

The April issue of my e-letter hit inboxes last week.

It included the usual roundup of inspirational quotes, creativity jump starters, and

helpful links, as well as the article, What's Your Bad Guy's Motive, and my response to a subscriber's question about head hopping.
