Ooh, it's been awhile...

Well...

Excuses...

The dogs have been sick, the kid has been sick, I have been overrun with "regular" work (which made me sick), then a two-week vacation where I was going to catch up on everything...

And here I am. Apologizing. Because I went back to work today and I am still playing catch-up.

I hope there is someone listening...

Stuff gets in the way on a regular basis. This is true of writing, especially when it isn't yet a full-time job for you, but a part-time, when you have the time, kind of thing.

I guess what you have to do is be ready to pick things up again once life returns to normal and you once again find time. So that is what I am doing now. Finding time - though my husband just walked in the door and is suddenly wanting dinner and conversation - to get back on here and blog, and to get back into writing (which is the really fun part.)

It is also the really hard part. You have to spend time getting to know your characters again, remapping their journey, finding their voices. And what if you can't recapture these things?

I'll let you know.
