Absence

I have been a bit absent around here and I greatly apologize. I have some things going on in my life that are exciting, but I am unable to discuss in this public blog as of yet so I've just chosen not to write. Hopefully things will get cleared up soon and I can share with you that news! :)

I have been working on my author website a lot. I had a big DUH! moment about a week ago, and I realized that the beginning premise of my novel won't work. I was so excited to start writing that I didn't research enough and what happens at the beginning is virtually impossible. I'm going to have to rewrite the first chapters of my novel (over 20,000 words) which has made me take a break because I don't know where to start! GAH! The overall idea of my novel will be the same, but I don't want to have to start over when I really like what I have already written. Mental note: RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH before writing a novel. :)

I'm super excited for this weekend. After today, I am working a half day tomorrow (I need the afternoon off... for reasons I can't discuss right now) and a half day Friday. After work on Friday, I'm picking up my momma and we are heading to the glorious state of Wisconsin so I can see my (not so) little cousin get married. I can't believe he's old enough! I'm driving and it's about 7.5-8 hours away. I will be taking my laptop, but last time I was at my aunt's house, they didn't have that great of internet. Which is okay. Hopefully I can get some writing done! We will be staying until Sunday afternoon and then heading back home. I really wish we could stay longer, but that's going to be impossible. Boo!

Anyway, I just wanted to touch base and let you all know that I'm still alive and things are well! :) I will, hopefully, be back soon to write again!
