Hello all,

I have to apologize for my disappearing act! Since I last posted here, I finished the third Luxe book and the weather totally changed. I believe I may have even been wearing sleeveless dresses then—and now it’s down coats and uggs whenever I go outside. The good news, though, is that Envy is a done deal and on her way to being printed and bound and decorated with a gorgeous girl in an elaborate gown. Now I have to rouse myself from my post-book relaxation (er, laziness) to work on the fourth installment, which is daunting but also very exciting. I bet some of you are just finishing up with your fall semesters at school, and can relate to this quasi-vegetal state that I find myself in, which comes after intense work. Of course, winter vacation always passes so quickly, and then it’s right back to the grind. Any tips for me on how to find my productive hat and get back to writing in a hurry here? Your ideas would be much appreciated!
