Ramblings

So I've been sick with some sort of head cold/sinus infection/sore throat thing for about a month. With moving and being sick and finding someone to take care of my property in Southern California it has been a whirlwind of a ride. Now that I have been in Alabama for a week I am starting to think about the future, after I get healthy, and after I find a good coffee shop to write in (it is surprisingly difficult to find one here!), I want to get back to work on my last novel, which has been waiting in the wings staring at me.

Writing is a tough thing. All you authors out there know. The time it takes to create and get to know a character, the time it takes to sit and think about the plot and what you want to happen, the realization that you won't be getting what you want from either your story or your characters, it's all rough. So I am trying to find my bearings. I am a writer and I can be a creature of habit, but I now need to come out of my shell and get to it.

Yeah, I might be rambling a little bit in this blog post, but sometimes that's how we roll. Humans I mean, not writers. We all ramble a little bit.

I'm done now, having said what I need to say, tonight I hope to get a good night's sleep for once, and tomorrow is a new day (that is such a stupid saying, of course tomorrow is a new day, unless I somehow hop in a time machine, every tomorrow is a new day).

Mostly, I just want to let all of you out there in the world of the interwebs that I haven't forgotten about you. Life just got in the way for a moment, more like 5 moments, but I think I'm gonna be good and back on track soon. At least I hope so. Nothing is worse than a writer with extra time on their hand.
