People often start excuses with this phrase, so get ready.

I have experienced a number of personal ups and downs, so I haven’t posted a blog in a while. But what’s a month or two? Or a year?  Okay, so here’s the thing…

I am working on 5 major projects and several separate, but small submissions to markets. That would make any girl a little squirrely, right?

Let me catch you up:

1. Revising book one of my original fantasy series.
2. Writing book two of the same series.
3. Writing book one of my second fantasy series.
4. Writing a book of poetry based on my childhood.
5. Writing a fantasy anthology (poetry and flash fiction).

A lot? Probably, but it seems to be the only way I can work, so there it is. To each his own, you know? If I work for too long on one project, I get writer’s block for some weird reason. If I work on multiple projects at once, I can shift between them and stay in my creative groove. Three of the above-mentioned projects are almost completed (80%, 51%, and 49%; and yes, I calculated them…that’s another issue for another blog).

So, at least I can say I’m making progress. Thanks for hanging in there with me!

P.S. I have one that was just published today by the Pine Hills Review of my recent poetry submissions to markets! (Check out the link on my homepage.) Also, I am in the final round for one of my poems in an anthology about neo sapiens. Fingers crossed!!!
