I haven’t been posting much recently due to a lot of non-writing related project eating up much of my time. We recently installed ductless AC/Heat Pumps in the house, are working on converting from oil to gas heat, built a raised bed garden on the side of the house, planted clover through the yard, dug up an infestation of mushrooms in the yard, and I am trying to remove a vast patch of invasive weed name Garlic Mustard. Oh! I’ve also begun researching the possibly of refinancing my house to get a lower rate during these strange times. I’ve been busy.
Writing wise, I mentioned last time, I am reading through my rough draft of my YA Fantasy novel. Trying to read one’s own work as a normal, casual reader is difficult. I keep trying to just take notes and identify where the problems are. It’s amusing! Ignore my tears of despair.
In between that, I am still pitching my horror novel to agents and one small publisher. I am submitting and resubmitting short stories. Finally, I am trying to finish a lot of house projects. Bear with me in my moments of silence.
