I'm sure I read somewhere that February is the worst month of the year for lots of things. I never gave it much thought before, but it's weird: I've been having major trouble writing all of last month, especially the naughtier scenes, but this morning it was like I'd rebooted or something. I've just deleted several pages from what I was working on and am storming ahead writing them again. It's actually really odd. Not that I'm complaining :). Also, my husband is a genius. Last night I asked him to read a new submission letter I was working on and he's brilliant. He helped me take apart the pitch paragraph completely and put it back together shorter, but with more information in it. [Edit: reminder, I have an offer up for help_nz here .]
