Beginning

Ok. So, every time I think I'm going to be a great blogger, I fail. For that reason, I'm gonna try to lower my expectations to posting on here once per week.

What will I be writing about?

Writing. Fiction. Right now I'm working on a zombie novel, and at about 16,000 words in, I'd say I need to pick up the pace. I've been working on this for nearly a year now, and unfortunately, life did its thing and got in the way.

I stopped writing to focus on finishing college (English degree with a Creative Writing focus, so I guess I didn't really stop writing...). And then I thought it might be bright of me to get a job with health insurance so my little one could continue being the reckless little munchkin she loves to be (no broken bones yet ;) ). I found a job, but I feel like I should be using my skills, and my bills keep screaming at my wages demanding, "MORE! MORE!"

So, here I am. I'd like to take a step back and re-focus my attention, even if it's just a few minutes a day, to one thing I love to do.

Write.

This blog is simply a running track for me to keep at least a steady pace on my writing. I'll try to keep readers posted on progress, and if I end up being the only one reading this blog, well then, I guess I'll be making myself accountable ;).

I'd love to make this a place to share thoughts on writing and reading, so feel free to post constructive comments.

Next post, I'll be talking about what I enjoy reading, including a couple of my favorite blogs, books, etc.

I'm also planning on getting a piece of my zombie novel-in-progress up here soon as well.
