Resolute

This is the time of year for making plans. Setting goals for our year. It may be cliched and arbitrary, but it is still nice to take space to re-center yourself on your path and make sure you haven’t gotten lost recently.

I have been working on my current novel BRICK for close to four years (much, much longer if you count the various plot iterations I have tossed aside). But 2015 NaNoWriMo was when I completed the first draft of this version of BRICK.

I’m going to let you in on a little known* secret: editing is hard! This process has been brutal for me, and I’ve definitely spent more time in the last few years procrastinating working on BRICK than actually making those edits.

But this is my resolution: 2019 is my year. Come what may, I will put this project to bed. I have other stories to write. So, this is where I begin my journey past the writing/editing part – and explore what it means [to me] to become an author.
