Hi There. Long time no write. I know, I know. I definitely let my promise go. Fall fell hard on me and I let it be a good excuse not to write for a bit. I think things are getting back on an okay track so hopefully I can get back to writing on a regular basis.
I have decided to downgrade my novel to a short story and then eventually bring it back to a novel. If I can start small, then I can go big. I think I might start with the paragraph I wrote in the middle of the night when we had those mysterious beeps that we never located the source. I think it might be better throw the reader into the universe at first instead of carefully illustrating each detail. It is much easier for me to get hooked up in those details and distracted from getting much on paper/computer. If it can start once the catalyst action has already occurred and flash back to it for our back story, it just might do the trick. I should go look at my Steven King short horror story books I have and get a little more inspiration about the timing of the elements I want to include.
This week is also Tattoo week! Friday is T-Day ;) I am excited but nerves are creeping in too. I made a playlist of my favorite albums to try and keep me relaxed and calm. We shall see!
