Writing Update - #2

My apologies, folks.  Writing has been put on a bit of a hold for the time being.  Life's gotten kind of crazy over here, what with us cleaning and packing, getting ready to move.  Plus, we had a minor little emergency with my son -- it turned out to not be an emergency after all, so don't panic -- and that put me off of writing for the day.  I do fully intend to get back to writing very soon here, but it might be another week or so until I'm able to get back to it.  I'll try to keep everyone updated!

Thanks for all of your support!

Writing Update - #1

I'm absolutely falling in love with writing. I started out thinking I was just writing a short story, 5-30 pages, but now I'm too wrapped up in the story! It's going to end up turning into a novel, I'm pretty sure.

I regularly struggle with depression. It's a battle I fight every day. I'm taking medication for it, but that doesn't help 100% of the time. I still have breakthrough moments of darkness. But what I've found is that writing helps me combat the darkness. So don't expect me to stop anytime soon! Now that I've started, you can't make me stop!

Writing Update - Introduction

Well, as you can see in my "About Me", I want to be a writer.  First step: Write. And then write some more. Check out my other blog to see some of my work!  I don't have much up there yet, but I'm working on it.

Right now, the only piece I have up there is a little heart-felt explanation on how I feel about my son.  I think I did pretty well on it, but you be the judge.  It was really a little piece designed just to get my literary feet wet again, to get comfortable behind a keyboard again -- it's not what I really want to be writing.

So what do I want to be writing?  I'm not 100% sure yet, but I think I'd like to write romance novels.  I'll start with short stories (5-30 pages), and work my way up.  What I'm thinking right now is to write a short romance story in "episodes" on my other blog, and then when I'm done I'll combine it all into one story with corrections and adjustments taken into consideration.  That way, you (my audience) can stay updated on my work, while I can wrap things up with a decent short story in the end.  Sound fair?  Otherwise, you'd be waiting a LONG time between posts.

But, I haven't made up my mind yet.  I'm still tossing around ideas on WHAT to write, before I decide HOW to write.  More updates as they come.  Please talk to me about your thoughts, ideas, questions, anything!  I want to be able to connect to my readers!
