And I'm back!

Okay, I'm still here, despite a faulty sense of blogging lately. Thing is, I've gotten so caught up! Since signing with aforementioned wonder agent, I've been doing some revisions on SCARLET that started teeny and built up to be a little more substantial, and I've been in a Panera blackout land for the past several days. Straight. WHOO!
And I have to say, I LOVE MY LIFE!!
Haha. Though revisions certainly aren't the most organic and thrilling part of the creative process, it's been feeling really amazing to WORK as a writer. I've never really had an issue with discipline (when it comes to writing, at least), but this feels more like it's building to something greater--this work is actually helping the book move toward (dare I even think it after all this time?) a publishing contract. (KNOCK ON SOME SERIOUS WOOD!).
One way or another, I'm a happy bunny, and March has the potential to be a pretty intense month. Not only am I slated to start hearing about some jobs and fellowships, etc, for next year, but I'm going on the Vermont College Writing Retreat (and I'm on the writing track this time, so I'm so excited to have some time to devote to the Next Project--once I decide what that actually is) and have a whole month of crazy family stuff to boot. WHOO!
Hey, you know what, after months of feeling like my life was grinding to a halt, I'm pretty excited to ride the coasters again.
BRING IT ON!
