I’ve finished my current book, and a few days before my deadline. I worked until 9 last night because I was on a roll 
The elation is still with me this morning. I’ve been going from room to room smiling and occasionally saying—Yea! I finished another book. I can relax, take a deep breath….
Then it hit me. I don’t need to write today. I can do other things–like norrmal people. I can take my time and really give the house a good scrubbing rather than the usual hit and miss. I can take a nice long bubble bath. I can….
What? Did someone just say something? I know I heard someone talking to me. There it is again—just a whisper. I can barely make out the words. Oh, no! Goose bumps pop up on my arm. I can hear the voice clearly now….
“Karen, aren’t you going to write my story? You promised you would write my story. You remember me don’t you? I’m Karinthia.”
“No, you promised to write my story!” Dagar’s voice rings loud (and sexy). “It’s not fair that I only get to come out at night!”
There’s a swirl of light followed by the sweet smell of jasmine. “But what about me?” a tiny voice asks. “I’ll take you to lands you’ve only imagined.”
My hands begin to shake and now I’m wondering why I drank that third cup of coffee. I want to go with these characters and be swept away. I really do. LOL I’m afraid writing has become an addiction. Maybe I can just play around with proposals this afternoon. That might satisfy the voices in my head
Oh, oh, oh—-I got author copies of Dating Outside Your DNA and if you make a comment I’ll put your name in a drawing to win a copy. Must be 18 or older and the contest ends tonight (Wednesday the 28th) at 9pm central time.
Have a great day!

Oh Karen, I’m so thankful for those voices in your head! I hope you enjoy your little bit of freedom and I’m looking forward to reading DOYD!
Hi Karen. Those voices in your head give us great books.
Wish I had voices so I could write!
congrats on finishing and good luck deciding what’s next lol
Phew! I’m glad I’m not the only person who characters talk to them. I have about 5 different characters trying to capture my attention every day. However, my 5 and 3 year beat them everytime (lol).
Congrats on finishing the book. It’s good to hear those kind of voices.
I was just talking about you to someone else the other day and I think I got her to try your books.
I can’t wait for this one.
Just think, in the old days people were locked up because of the voices in their head. Hmm, I wonder how many were writers?
I’ve been cleaning my office on/off today and have barely made a dent! Okay, I might have goofed off just a little, too.
Oh, Laura, many, many thanks for the word of mouth. I’ll take all I can get!

Karl was nice enough to pick a number and chose 2 so congrats to Crystal B! I’ll e-mail you privately so you can send me your snail mail.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat!

Hi Karen~
Congrats on finishing the book! Also, how did all those proprosals go? Are the voices still talking to you? Did you ever get that bath?
Congrats again!
