The last few months haven't exactly gone the way I had hoped or expected, but such is life! My writing course and especially my instructor have been invaluable, irreplaceable. I am thrilled with the progress I have made in the last three months of strict writing, though, as always, I am not exactly where I wish I were (that would be ready for publishing!). I am in the other hand, a cleaner writer, an even more voracious reader, and an artist at heart. The words keep coming, ideas are flowing, and, my life, my children and my husband have not suffered for it. Success!
I am a writer, there is no getting around it, but I am also a very proud mother, wife and viable member of my community. I believe that even though the process is a bit slower than I would like, I have found balance with the things I love. Everything has taken a slight hit, I only have 100% of me to give. I have sacrificed a few areas to be able to have balance in every area.
I have set the original story aside to marinate and develop without such hands-on manipulation, to work on a new project, one I am really excited about, obviously. It is stretching me, beyond what I think I am as a writer, but there is a magnificent story for a new audience. I can't share too much, I need to be a crazy-haired artist while this story develops, but in due time, I will be sharing pieces for critique and your enjoyment.
