Writer's Update

-

I thought I'd start this post with a gratuitous sunrise photo, to sort of suggest a new year and new beginnings and all that. Maybe something that might let you believe I'm going to get myself sorted out and start blogging on something like a schedule again.

That's my hope, atually. I am writing, though I've already distracted myself for a week with a trip south to remind myself what daylight is, followed by a week of being sick. Now I'm working hard on a short story that's kind of grown into almost a novella, so it might need to either get longer or shorter, but I'm not sure which. And I've started, in a tentative and timid way, the revision process for Seffi Wardwell #4, Logged Off. I need to get serious about that.

As for the blog, which is where I was really heading, I'm going to continue with my Friday/Saturday posts of either photos or flash fiction, and will do my best to resume Monday book reviews, with at least some of them being middle grade books and participating in Marvelous Middle Grade Mondays, run by Greg Pattridge of Always in the Middle. 

Writing updates may come when I have something to report, but will mostly be in the form of my monthly IWSG posts. I just don't have what it takes to blog 3 days a week anymore.

So that's the plan. Watch this space on Friday or Saturday for the first part of my report on last August's backpacking trip in the Beartooth Wilderness. At the bare minimum, I'm committing to that once a week post.

It's... actually the second Wednesday of the month, but we weren't going to post our IWSG posts on New Year's Day, though maybe actually that would be a good day to spend just reading blog posts?
