A virtual room

Wow. A blog. A place to publish my thoughts and words. A virtual room of my own.
I hadn't really planned this out, so I'm starting from scratch. The basics:
I live in New England, on 4 acres, with 3 kids, 2 dogs, and 1 husband. There's a nice symmetry to that, I think. I wish I could remember how I spend my time, but it seems gone before I can take note of it. I try to keep up with my family's needs - shopping, laundry, housekeeping - and writing.
Yes, I'm writing a book. Actually, I just finished one and will be starting another any day now. It's a crap shoot whether my writing will go anywhere, but it gives me a purpose and I find the idea of creating something on my own very satisfying - most of the time. I just finished writing a time-travel romance and have started plotting for a historical romance.
Why romance? Frankly, the world is scary enough as it is. If I want something serious, I read the paper. Besides, I like a happy ending.
