So, after an exhausting month of doing my balancing act (which hasn't been so balanced) I put the final "The End" on Break. Balance? What's that? You know - the act where you're trying to be superwoman with your creative pursuits vs your responsibilities. Yeah, that thing. Anyway, "Break" nearly broke me.

Hide is finished, finished, finished...but who will come out on top? Hmm.. I've turned it in to some wonderful people over at Booknook.biz for conversion.
