We are, fittingly, close to a year and a half from the first words set to paper (well, digital paper) of what ultimately became Entangled with the Earl. I’m not sure the first draft will ever see the light of day; I wrote it during a caffeine fueled frenzy in an attempt to actually complete NaNoWriMo. (I succeeded, although the book itself wasn’t finished until December.) Subsequent drafts erased one character, changed the plot, and saved the book.
