Side-Tracked

In an earlier post, I mentioned that I was giving into the technology monster by starting this blog. Well, the plot thickens... I'm on facebook. (cringe) I'm not sure why I find that so cumbersome. It's all about the networking, I guess.

Since this blog was started to document my writing, I have to tell you about a new project that has captured and held hostage my writing sessions. It all started when I was doing a freewrite to warm up for another day of working on Natura 2. (For those of you who don't know, I've written a book entitled Natura. No, it is not published. I'm currently trying to find a literary agent who can help me navigate the murky waters of the publishing industry.) Well, the freewrite got way out of hand. A page turned into five. Five turned into fifteen. The next thing I knew, I had an entire novel outlined and a protagonist that I absolutely adored bringing to life. I'm determined to write her story, and I feel extremely excited to bring it all to life.

For those of you who have read Natura, don't worry, I haven't abandoned my baby. I'm going to continue to work hard to get it off the ground. Natura 2 is still a huge priority for me, and will pick it up as soon as I finish this new project. (I'm thinking April)
