Long time no blog. I am glad to see you’re still here, though.
Where have I been all winter? The frozen wastelands of the north would be the easy answer and accurate. But why haven’t I been posting here? Because while surrounded by ice I was in a personal meltdown. I won’t go into all the icky details but the result is that the bio-family is no longer a part of this writer’s present or future. Since they’ve been such a big part of the past this results in me going through a process of redefining myself. Thus we are in reset mode around here.
Some have wondered why the sudden action. This whole tale has been brewing for decades but the breaking point came with the last NaNoWriMo. The story I started, admittedly using characters inspired by those around me, hit just a bit too close to home. So I came out of November without a whole lot of words but no coherent story. Instead it was a month of literary therapy for me that has since continued and become more coherent. I know parts of what I wrote these months will appear in later stories.
That brings us back to the present… and the future. There are a lot of things in the works for me at the moment. Multitasking is my life. The day job decided to keep me though my team has been bounced around a lot in the last six months. Personally, I am trying to do by myself what had previously been done by three people. My determination to get out of the cubicle farm increases daily. Now if I can just manage to focus that determination. J
Personally… well… the adoptive family keeps me on my toes these days. This is where some things are in the works but I can’t say much about them just yet. Trust me, once things solidify I will be all over this site with the news. One thing I can talk about is the wedding of WebYeti and DD. That should be fun for everyone involved.
Writing. Oh the writing. As I mentioned, my theory on writing being excellent therapy has been proven these past few months. Now that I’m in the stage of determining my own future, By The Pen is back on the table. I’ve made some headway into the second draft and hope to get it to that stage in the coming months. Don’t be surprised if snippets start appearing on this site. Also, another story is starting to unfold within my computer these days. Tentatively called The House, this one is another urban fantasy though more settled in the ‘real’ world. While I’ve always expected BTP to become a series, The House characters have made no bones about it. They have big plans.
So that’s the update on my world these days. Updating a bit more frequently here is on the agenda as well. What’s on yours?
