New Year, New Stuff

 

It has been a WHILE since I've visited my own blog. Slacker. 

I started a new job, we had a death in the family, and other dramatic life events. So what? I still have to write, yeah? I have been. Just not visibly. 

So, I'm trying to get back on track with this blog. I haven't been on it for some time, but I will try to resolve to be more diligent in blogging for all of the many (none) readers who follow this space. 

So, how've you been? I've been okay. I am still pushing OUT..I haven't given up on it yet...but it often feels like I am but a drop in a huge ocean. But as one of my favorite books (Cloud Atlas) notes, "What is the ocean but a multitude of drops?"  Maybe my drop will land somewhere that can give my book some notice. We'll see. If not, then I guess that's just how it is. 

I am working on a new novel that is geared toward adults, which is exactly probably what i should not be doing, according to conventional wisdom. I mean, if I've had success (even small) in the YA arena, that's what I should write. But this story has been begging to be told, and it is what is on my mind, so I'm writing it. If anyone is interested in a sneak peek, let me know. I can post a bit of it on the website. 

I think I'll go write now.
