Arghh. I read The List last night and it needs serious help. It's rushed and parts of it suck. I love my hero but he's not yet what I imagine. I think a lot of romances these days are written as if, from page 1 sentence 1, the hero and heroine will be together, and I truly believe that isn't always the best approach. For The List, I don't want my h/h to be thinking about each other that way at all. Calming breath. I just started the dang thing. I only have 26K words. Of course it's rushed. Of course there's stuff to be fixed, thought of and written. But this will be such a great, sexy story if only I can pull it off, which I must firmly believe I can.

As for The Spare, I pretty near killed myself doing the edits, but I think it's OK. Deleted an entire chapter. Am exhausted.
