Still here.
2013 was not bad. I
completed a 50K novel as well as a 10K short story. Not prolific, but with the tugs of work & family
pulling in all directions, I’m still pleased I stayed with my
craft. Also, I started a book club at
work for no other reason than I enjoy talking about the books I’m reading and
discovering new books that I wouldn’t normally have known about myself. We’re still finding our way in the club, but
we did manage to read Swamplandia!, Gone Girl, Night Film, and the Circle in
just a few months time. In full
disclosure, I should mention our discussions are taken over copious amounts of
red wine & apps.
Looking at 2014, I am revisiting my first novel, I felt I
have learned much along the way with my reading and writing and have grown
enough that I can do it justice with a rewrite. I also want to step it up a notch, and
attend something with a little more filtering than the open enrollment
conferences I usually attend. I try not
to make it too many loft goals, it’s a long road, and one I’ve committed to, so
it will take it just on step at the time, looking forward to discovering what
lies just around the bend.
Talk soon.
