You can find me on KISS by going here.

It's been forever since I last posted here. I know. My life is insanely busy. I'm still working from home, working on my home, homeschooling, (yes, I went there-in case you haven't noticed we're still in a pandemic, and there's still no vaccine for kids), all while trying to shop 2 books, promote a bunch more, and you expect me to still have room in my brain to write???!!!

Well, maybe you don't expect that. But I do. And only being able to dedicate a certain number of hours to reading, researching and writing is always a struggle, but people like me, who yearn to write, find the time. If I don't get the ideas and the words out of my head and onto paper, I will go insane. I've never really had what one would traditionally call "writer's block." I always know where I want my stories to go, and there's just so many of them they won't let me slow down. 

But this crazy life I'm living is a new kink. My brain is in survival mode, and that means the creative gray cells have moved aside to make room for teaching, classroom planning, pruning schedules, etc. etc. etc. I'm lucky if a book can hold my interest these days for the 10 minutes it takes for me to get dizzy. But of course, just as I said to myself, "this is a thing, and I should blog about it because it's related to writing," lightning struck. New scenes for a new story played out in picture perfect clarity, dialogue and all. Those little gray cells are waking up. Maybe it's a sign that my chaos is settling into a routine, and my brain can stop figuring out how to do all the shtuff on my plate and start thinking again about what I love: new places, new characters, new stories. I'm getting there. In bits and pieces. And I couldn't be more excited.
