Shifts and Changes

Since my last post, I've been working on a new novel, but there's only one chapter done, so I hesitate talking about it. And while I'm letting that percolate, I'm writing theater reviews! I haven't done this since my first year in college and am enjoying it immensely. Nothing like getting free tickets to plays and then having the pleasure of writing how I feel about them. It's been like dipping my toe back into the creative nonfiction that comes like breathing to me.

On top of the reviews, I've been blogging about growing up as a boomer and the memories I have. Part of the reason I'm doing this is because I begged and pleaded and cajoled my mother to write down the stories of her life and she never did. Now that she's gone, I would give anything to have those stories of her life. I won't let my own life go by without writing about it -- whether anyone cares of not. So, if all my journals someday go up in flames or if they disintegrate with age, it won't matter, because something of mine will exist in the hinterlands of the Internet.

On another note, I'm reading more than I have in a while and truly enjoying being able to share some of what I like with others who are reading more (largely because of the advent of Kindles and Nooks and the like).

So as the winds blow, so do the shifts and changes in my writing/reading.

Peace.
