Writing Love and Being Loved

Like going back in time.

Time travel is the only way I can describe what it feels like to read anything I’ve written up until this point. The last book I published was... Before a Perfect World? Carousel? I can’t even remember.

One of my favorite movies of all time is Never Been Kissed, starring Drew Barrymore. She goes back to high school undercover, knowing all that she knows as an adult but still trying to fit into “the cool kids” crowd. She finds herself seeing every type of kid that she remembers from her own high school days, but with a deeper understanding of life and what it feels like to be an adult.

I’m somewhere in there.

Every time I try to pick up and write where I left off, whether in First or Beyond Hereafter or Accolade... it’s like I’m finishing someone else’s research paper. I don’t know these characters anymore, and the new me shines through in everything they say and do.

And there really is a new me.

I’m a deeper loved me. I’m satisfied, I’m happy, I’m hopeful and I’m successful. I work hard and I play hard. I added and subtracted people from my life, loving those who deserve my love.

Life is pretty busy right now. Every waking moment is filled with the life I’ve worked so hard to find, all but that one part. Writing has always been a part of my life. I can feel it waiting impatiently at my side, tugging at my sleeve like a child. Tempting me with new ideas here and there. Sparking hope that maybe I can find my character’s voices again.

But as for now...

I’ve married my best friend, the most wonderful man in the world, and he constantly encourages me to continue writing. But, when all is said and done, and I have that one hour after work before I fall into bed exhausted...

I’d much rather curl into his arms and just be loved... than write about anyone else finding the love I’ve found.

It will come in time. Right now, the only book I want to write is my own, and the only characters I want to spend my days and nights with are my family.

So, update... no word on the writing scene, but for those of you who continue reading my words... thank you, from the bottom of my very full and happy heart.

I will bring you more... someday.

Happy New Year!
