This is what I’ve been up to…

So I have disappeared. I have my reasons, I really do. I’ll explain.

First, I kind of lost myself as a writer. Motherhood took over, and suddenly I didn’t have time to write, or the energy, or even the will. I tried and failed a lot, and eventually allowed myself to take a break. I then finished a fantasy piece I started long before my ventures into romance, tried and succeeded to do another small piece for NaNoWrimo, and then fell off the writing map.

Second, well, there is no *real* second. Point one sums it up. But second point is where I say that Girlebooks has or will shortly be discontinuing their author program. This means I am not going to be available any longer. Why you may ask? Well, if you read this blog at all you know I have spoken to death about a certain two characters I swear, time and time again, I have put to bed, finished with, and walked away from. Well, I didn’t. Or, should I say, they didn’t.

With Girlebooks pulling the author program I feel I have a chance to take my favorite tale and rework it. Keeping with the essence of the story, I feel the body of it will be changed drastically by the end. Maybe I’m wrong, but we’ll see. As with Heart Pulled to Pieces, I was already in the process of updating the story and giving it a more thorough edit as this was the biggest complaint I have seen in reviews.

All this being said, I also feel like I no longer have to keep myself “branded” as a particularly girlie author. While I have posted something similar to this extent before, I will also be posting more “nerdy” posts as time goes on. Don’t worry, being a woman, they will still have a feminine stand point.

For those who decide to stick around and see where I go next, thanks for the support. If you read my works, I thank you more. If my decision to make changes saddens you, I’m sorry, but maybe this will be better.

And hey, it’s a new year! Who knows what will happen, right?
