Nora Blake is spending her first year living on her own after years spent at college. Growing up in southern California her parents clung on as they watched their only daughter move away to a lonely city 16 hours away. She took a job as a small town newspaper editor in Colorado Springs while she is struggling writing her first novel. Her dream is to become a published author and now that college is over and she has moved away from home she knows it must be the right time for her to succeed, but her plans and her reality aren't coinciding. Nora doesn't know what it is, but ever since she has moved she hasn't been able to write anything she can stand to read more than twice before holding down delete on her laptop keyboard. After two months she has decided she needs to get her groove back in order to fulfill her big plans, but to her surprise even more distractions keep her away from the thing she wants most.
