This week I’m embarking on rewrites for two projects–both a novella and my third full-length novel. It’s been a crazy-busy summer of writing, that’s for sure.

Guest post: The Power of Friendship by Lindsay Harrel
Note from Melissa: I’m so delighted to welcome one of my faaaavoritest people to the blog today–Lindsay Harrel.
