Writing season
Wow... I should rename my blogs "the highly neglected blogs" or something. It has been an extremely busy summer. Hot and busy. It was a great year for the gardener side of my brain, though it seems I don't take too well to weeding in triple-digit temps. But I did have a grand haul from the garden. It seems to be slowing down now that cooler temps are here, so maybe I will have more time to play writer. I've sorta been stuck on this project, but lately I've received some encouragement that may get me jump-started. I hope. I have a fictional bug I have to work out first, though... Oh, and I'm looking into publishing options because working towards a goal is a huge motivator for me. w00t! It's been a long break, but I'm getting excited to get back into my writing :D

And the Band Just Marches On...
Yikes! Time moves too quickly sometimes. Things have been so crazy lately I haven't gotten much writing done. It's frustrating sometimes when I get too busy to write, but I just have to trust that God's working things out.
No matter what else I'm occupied with, my book seems to always be stewing in the back of my mind. I'm always thinking of issues that need to be addressed and sometimes it's a bit overwhelming to think of how messed up the world is. Sometimes I wish I could write a book that would fix everything, but I realize how futile an attempt that would be. That's why I want to write a book that strikes as close to the heart of the problem as possible... even that is a daunting task.
Yesterday I found a spare moment to write down some more thoughts and I was able to streamline my outline a little better. I'm also going to try to take it from a slightly different angle. That means more re-writing. I hope I'm not being too much of a perfectionist. But I figure as long as I'm still looking for publishers anyway, I might as well "perfect" things as much as possible, right? ;) I'm starting to get pretty excited about finishing, even though it's quite a ways away yet, I'm afraid :-/ The more I work at it, the closer it gets, though!
Off to write some more... I have a moment and I'm feeling inspired ;)
