A First Book and Baby


In a San Marcos coffee shop Michelle's fingers fly over her keyboard, tapping in triple time. She takes a break after working all morning and tells me she's writing her first book. She started in January (took 3 months off for morning sickness) and has 100 pages done now. She proudly tells me about the agent she already has.

Her husband totally supports her writing - she writes everyday now having quit her job. Together they built a beautiful writing center for her in their new home but trying as hard as she can, she totally can't write there. "There's just too many distractions", she offers.

She's on schedule to finish her first draft by the end of the year because after that she's planning for another first - a February baby.
