My wonderful day job employer has moved me to the Chicago area, specifically near Naperville, which is yet another in a long string of cosmic coincidences in connection to my good friend Tim from Stockton — because he lives here too.  We run into each other on airlines, we move to the same city at random, it’s just weird.

Good weird, though — not bad weird.

So now here I am in my new little cottage, my back yard literally right up against a forest preserve full of wild animals, with uber high speed Internet and affordable rent.

And now it’s time for me to hunker down and start working on the second draft of my novel.

So that is what I’m doing.

Also, any writers out there in the Naperville, Lisle, Wheaton, Warrenville, Winfield, Glen Ellyn area … a shout out to you.  Let’s either form a writer’s group, or let me know if there’s an opening in an established one.
