Why yes, I am alive.
I know, it’s been 7 months since I last posted in this blog, and I really have little excuse except for one. Getting home so late, after working a grueling day, with what I do being mentally draining, I don’t have any energy left to write coherently. Besides, I don’t really have anything interesting to say, unless my readers want to hear the dull details of life in a print shop.
That, however, is changing, come Monday. New job, different hours, more time and energy to think. And, of course, there’s only 30 days left until NaNoWriMo, which usually inspires angsty, stressed-out writing from me around the second week. Hopefully, I will have more inspiring posts until then.
At least for this NaNo challenge, I have a story idea that seems to be a little more energetic than in past years. My first October pre-writing exercise resulted in an aha! moment for a plot. It’s a bit different than what I’m used to, in that it’s a fantasy setting, but there are enough paranormal events that it makes the horror side of my soul giggle in maniacal glee. So, we’ll see what happens.
If you’re ready to stick with me, thanks. I hope to not disappoint.
