I know it’s been a long time since I made a blog post here. Life has really been throwing things at me this year. In particular, my pain levels have often been too high to concentrate, which really interferes with writing!

I’m starting to see some improvement, however, so it’s time to go back to work!

Probably most significant thing for me this fall is that I’m not doing NaNoWriMo. Or I’m going to be a NaNo Rebel, if you prefer. You see, I never finished that draft I was writing over the summer. So this November, I’m going to officially go back to that draft and write at least 1666 words a day, until the dern thing is done. This won’t take me all month, but the point is to write like it’s NaNo until it gets done! 

My other goal at this time is to get The Unchanging Heavens published. I’m in the final editing stages and I have my cover, so I’m optimistic that I might get it done by the end of the month. If not, I’ll devote an hour a day to getting it out the door until it’s done.

This means that once The Spell Builders‘ draft is finished, I can jump into editing The Long Dark. That way, maybe I’ll get it published according to my original schedule!

I’m feeling optimistic and motivated… and it feels good!

ps- Sorry about all the exclamation points, I’m just excited!
