Are you ready to talk about your One Word for 2017? I am!  This is my twelfth year to focus on one word. An even dozen. Wow. And once again, I have to admit that I was wondering “Where’s my One Word for 2017?” Most years I’ve known what my One Word was going to be by August or September, but …

What? You never noticed? Tsk. Now you know: MWF: quotes. T/Th: contemporary romance writer thoughts.) Back to today, which should be contemporary romance day but isn’t. I’m not …
