I haven't posted for almost a year. Trust me when I tell you that the thoughts and musings are still there, but I just have not had the creative urge to put those thoughts and musings into words. We had a lot of changes this year ... we moved, the kids changed schools, I hired a part-time nanny, I am on a Board of Directors and am now on a State Bar Committee. 2012 offered me the ugly side of life ... depression, malcontent, death, financial distress, familial distress. I have felt likes. I have been knocked down every time I get back on my feet. But a new year is fixin' to start and I'm ready to shake off 2012 and embrace all of the promise that 2013 has to offer. So hopefully I will have more to share this necxt year. To the extent you've hung in there, thank you.
I have some writing goals for next year, and hope to complete a full book. I haven't decided whether I will focus on one of my novels (character outlines are done but story outlines need help) or a collection of short stories. Given my recent inability to focus on anything for more than a nanosecond, I suspect it will be short stories. Early drafts of them may show up here as I try them on for size.
Happy Holidays. Happy New Year.
