Reaching the end and reaching THE END

My NaNo novel - also known as Ivy's story, sits at about 35,000 words.  That means in 15,000 words I will "Win" nano.  However, I know how verbose I am, heck if you read Dirty Little Secret, than you know how verbose I am too (it was about 100K words).  There's no doubt I'll reach "the end" come the end of Nano, in so much as I know I'll make the NaNo goal... but I wonder if I will make "THE END" of the story by that time.  Ivy keeps fighting me and I can't figure out what the heck is going n with her story.  I wish I could sit her down in a flower circle and we could sing Kumbaya, but at the moment she's all "whatever, I don't have time for you"   I long for that point in writing where your thoughts move faster than your fingers can type, and you just let go and fly.  And I can't seem to reach that point with her yet.  I hope it comes soon... its starting to concern me.  :(


Thanks to Writer in Progress for the review!

It always tickles me when someone takes the time to read my book & review.  As an indie author, word of mouth is your strongest tool to get your book out there, so when someone says "hey, I'm going to tell you what I thought of your book." For me, there is nothing I am more grateful for.

Here is an excerpt:
Dirty Little Secret had me hooked from the first few pages. Hillary is such a believable character that you immediately start thinking "I know someone just like her!". This is a great read for lounging by the pool or now that winter is here, lounging by the fireplace and pretending you are by the pool. I loved Willow Sanders' writing style and I look forward to seeing more from her.
Thank you again to Ella at Writer in Progress, I'm glad you enjoyed my story!
