Been Kinda Crazy

I know I haven't posted like I wanted too.  But life has been kinda crazy.  Looking for work, trying to keep my head above water with homework.  Would rather be writing, then doing anything else, except for sleep.

I have had a rough couple of weeks.  So everything, I mean everything, has fallen to the side.  I need to get my house back into a livable condition since it is a disaster.  Tripping over things to turn off the alarm clock would not be good if I ended up hitting my head against the corner of the desk.

But life will get better, I just don't know when.  Hopefully sooner rather then later.

In better news, I went to the release party of Oliva, written by my friend Julie Wright.  It is in an 8 book series, written by 3 other authors besides Julie, Josi S.Kilpack, Heather Brown Moore and Annette Luthy Lyon.  I am looking forward to reading them all.

Being at the release party, people asked me what I was writing.  I gave them a brief synopsis of my manuscript and they all seemed excited about it.  Authors and readers alike.  That was very encouraging.  Something that was good for me to hear.

I am really interested in writing horror for the younger audience, which Julie knows, she was surprised because this manuscript is historical fiction and not horror or even something close.  But I feel it is important to try and write in each genre so that I can learn and grow as an author.

One thing that I have learned writing this manuscript is that I love history so much that I would get sidetracked by my research and ended up at point J when I should have stopped at point C.  So I don't think writing historical fiction would be a good fit for me.
