Happy New Year to everyone who visits my blog! I don’t know who most of you are, but I do know that I appreciate your being interested in the life and times of a writer and what I’m up to on a daily basis…well almost daily. That’s my goal for this year anyway. My other major goal is to finish the novel that’s been floating around in my head for a while now. Most writers go through some sort of evolution throughout their journey, and I’m finding that I’m no different. Even though I never thought I had a novel inside me, here I am with one finally screaming to get out. The funny part is, it isn’t the book I thought I’d be writing. The story seems so ordinary and tame given our society and the likes, dislikes and appetites of our culture. However, there is something we learn from every life that passes through this place and the voice in my head needs to tell her story. So, I begin today. The kids are back to school, my other work is on a bit of a hiatus, it’s cold outside and there’s no holiday coming up that requires anything more than a card; so, no more excuses. It’s time to begin. Thanks for coming along with me on my journey.
Today’s writing goal…1500 words of whatever wants to come out first. I was up most of the night rehearsing scenes in my head, so this should be a piece of cake. I’ll just be glad to get them out so maybe tonight I’ll sleep a bit better! And just so you know, my book is about a middle school aged girl named Maddie…more to come.
