How did your last novel go?
It went well, actually. I have a good chunk. But the topic, alcoholism, involves some family members and even though I don't think they would disagree with anything I say, the whole truth/fiction/guesswork dilemma has been too difficult for me to figure out so far. We'll see. Maybe I will. Thanks for asking Becki.
