After Yesterday

Book Cover & Preview Text
Rebecca was looking forward to the storm. Winter was her favorite time to hunker down and write, especially when she was beginning a new book. This storm would keep her inside and force her to move beyond the opening chapters. Beginning was the hardest part, like getting a cold car to start on a winter morning. In long hand, on lined legal pads she bought at Costco, she coaxed words into the story she was currently carrying around in her head. On good writing days, the words raced onto the paper, almost dictating themselves. Then there were the days she threw away page after page of false starts and bad dialogue. She'd learned that, when a day's efforts ended up in the wastebasket, the next day would often produce better ideas, better words, as though failure had the power to breathe life into the project.
