Nina's The Idle of March.

Not!

Dearest gentle readers,

I have not been IDLE this month (yes, I know, my last posting here was 3/1 and now it's 3/30.)

February was such an intense month with my debut novel release and the publicity involved, and my family has been incredibly supportive with my 'absence' as I jaunt around doing the blogtour. However, this past month, March, I've been kept busy playing Florence Nightingale to coughing, sneezing, wheezing children.

Managed some traveling with family (the few days no one was sick) and I did manage to attend two wonderful book release parties hosted by a good friend and a neighbor--so the month wasn't all snuffles and snot. I also managed to meet deadlines with a few short stories and continued to keep writing my current work-in-progress. (It's my sanity--the quiet moments I steal for the words!)

I especially wish to THANK YOU those of you who have contacted me via email (through this website) and let me know how much you enjoyed the book. Your emails have been very muse-inspiring, particularly as I drag myself out of bed every morning at 4AM to steal some quiet time to write. (I'm in a writing class this year and we all are committed to write 1000 word a day, no matter what. I'm scared to death of my teacher, btw, but that's another blog post some day in the future.)

Your grateful author.

Nina Benneton.
