It’s been an eventful few months for me.

I started off the year with a lot of energy and excitement to be writing again. I still am, but I’ve had to delay a lot of the writing for almost the entire past three months. Why? Because life, that’s why. A lot has happened in the past three months.

• moved across the country
• joined an exciting, fast moving project at work
• officially in toddler mode now

Reviewing Spring of Black Flowers was enlightening. It’s both better than I remember it being, and still, definitely, not a good book. It could be a great book after some major structural work and passes for setting and character details, which I don’t expect to get to any time soon.

Where to begin? What a year 2023 has been. A lot has happened, and I’m excited to catch you all up on everything.

TL;DR: I have had a great year, personally and professionally. Everyone is happy and healthy.

Writing

I’m writing again, obviously. I’m excited about it, and it feels really good to be putting “pen” to “paper” so to speak, after a concerted effort this November to try a NaNoWriMo. I didn’t succeed in cranking out everything, but I ended the month with a lot of momentum on this project, and will be continuing with it into next year.
