Yet the longer she stays at court, the more difficult it becomes to reconcile her resentment of the nobles with the enchantments of Versailles. There, she gambles at cards, desperate to have enough to keep herself and her sister safe. With dark magic forbidden by her mother, Camille transforms herself into the ‘Baroness de la Fontaine’ and is swept up into life at the Palace of Versailles, where aristocrats both fear and hunger for la magie. But when the coins won’t hold their shape and her brother disappears with the family’s savings, Camille must pursue a richer, more dangerous mark: the glittering court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Relying on petty magic-la magie ordinaire-Camille painstakingly transforms scraps of metal into money to buy the food and medicine they need. When smallpox kills her parents, Camille Durbonne must find a way to provide for her frail, naive sister while managing her volatile brother. Paris in 1789 is a labyrinth of twisted streets, filled with beggars, thieves, revolutionaries-and magicians. What about you? Where are you in your writing? To top it off, I'm going to be an IWSG co-host next month. I have about 80 solid pages written, but I still have many pages to go. I think that will keep me motivated and confident that I can write the chapters I still need. But I wrote sentences at the bottom of the outline of the scenes I know that I need. I'm at the point in my story where I have to confront the blank pages and put words down. Not sure if it's just for myself or going further, but it doesn't really matter. I just want to share that I am finally getting more excited about my writing and started writing on a more regular basis over the holidays. I'm going to skip the optional question this month.

The co-hosts this month are: Patricia Lynne, Lisa Buie-Collard, Kim Lajevardi, and Fundy Blue! Posting: The first Wednesday is officially Insecure Writer's Support Group Day.
