Title: Smooth as Chocolate

Hero and Heroine: James Hunter and Isabel Baxter

Line: Heartwarming

One paragraph from the page you are currently on:

Pretty girls got their way, but pretty and intelligent girls were too intimidating and put men off. She'd learned quickly how to "dumb it down" in order to make people do what she needed them to do, but seeing this same manipulation in Britney was mildly annoying.

Due Date: soon!

Word or page count goal today: I'm editing, but I'd like to get about 40 pages done.

Something cool learned from research:

I researched tiny homes for this book, and I fell in love with them. In different circumstances, I could happily live in a tiny house.
