Very well!
I’m writing here to break the habit of sinking into my own editing and to start “broadcasting” news of my writing world. Namely? How is my novel going.
I started my current project well over one year ago. In fact, the actual “germ” of the thing, the seed, came to me about three years ago while I was swimming in the ocean. I was inspired to a small burst of poesy that I locked away for a while until such time as I felt ready to move on it.
And then all at once, move I did. I wrote “around” The scene, which was tricky – I had to get to where I was and then launch something from that. It took some doing.
However – it is done! I have completed a 300+ page draft that I’m about 1/3 of the way through first edits on as I write this. Another few weeks and I’ll be looking for first readers and conducting my pen-in-hand second round of edits. If all that goes well, it’s back for a third round of revision and then off to find someone to publish it.
So hey, sorry for the lack of updates…and honestly, I’m on the fence about the one thing I *have* been updating more consistently (the SSS Archive) because it’s kind of a lot of work and kind of not a lot of reward…so we’ll see what this blog does over the coming years.
Yes, years – I paid for the domain and the hosting. Better believe you can find me here for a good long while!
