Back to Blogging

I have been on a hiatus from blogging for a while, because my head has been 100% in writing a sequel to last year's novel.  Writing fog.  Totally engrossed.  Lost in the story.   I noticed the other day when I was driving that I had been thinking about the novel and its characters, and had no memory of driving the last ten miles.  I was surprised to find that I had arrived.  Probably not a good thing.

Last year, some of my readers suggested that I do a sequel to In Its Time.  Although I originally had no intention of doing that,  it did kind of make sense because there were so many potential directions for the story line which could be explored.  So I have been deeply exploring the lives of Del and Eli.  It is kind of like mining, looking for nuggets, golden strands, a rich adventure. Living their lives.

Writing is my retirement hobby.  All I really want out of that is some readers, which thankfully,  I have had.  It has never mattered how many, just so it is some.

I had such a wonderful surprise today.  A blog reader took the time to send me an email to tell me how much she enjoys reading my blog.  That was completely unexpected and I was pleased and flabbergasted!  Thank you, my friend.

So now, having completed the sequel, except for the more mundane and non-creative stages, I do think I can safely say that I am back to blogging.
