Well, revisions on the Louis XIV book are to New York.

I've just taken a workshop with Natalie Goldberg of "Writing Down the Bones" fame. It's been good to be among people who love writing for writing's sake and to just write like everyone else. Natalie believes the world would be a better place if everyone has a writing practice, which is just what it sounds like, a practice of writing. She might be right. It's been wonderful to watch people explore their thoughts and experiences through the writing prompts.

Have started doodling with the new book. I know nothing about its plot except that Alice and Richard are in it and a character from the novel that will be out next year. The title I'm considering is "Our Bed is Green."
