Thoughts...
So, I just posted my "Hello to 2013" blog on my publishing front and now, I guess, this is my "Hello to 2013" personal blog.
A lot has happened over the past year, most of it good. At the moment, I'm in a good spot mentally. I've gotten to see my son more times this year, than any other, and that's helped greatly. The job has gotten better, I moved from a field position to an office position. It's the first time I've had an office job in my nearly 13 year military career. It's been an eye opening experience to see things from this side of the job. My body is certainly betraying me after carrying around 80+ pounds of gear for so long, so it's nice to do something a bit less...labor intensive.
I'm with a good person, she challenges me and keeps me interested. Those of you who know me personally, know my love life hasn't always been the best, but I'm happy, and dare I say it, content. Don't get me wrong, I come with a ton of baggage and still carry a lot of psychological scars, and I'm no where near perfect, and I still have bad days, but I'm in a good place right now.
I just published a dark erotica collection, OF FLESH AND SKIN, with co-author Lisa McCarthy and it was truly a blast to challenge my writing ability in that new area. Writing is what I do, it's what I love, even if I hate the process more days, than not, but attempting to write in this new genre has definitely made things interesting again.
Writing has always been my way of dealing with what I've gone through in my life and if you pay close enough attention, all of that bleeds over into my stories and novels. I've always tended to focus on the darker, underbelly of fiction, but I've got a feeling that this year, there may even be a few "happier" stories.
Gasp, I think I've maturing as a writer :)
