Happy Friday!
It’s Friday! It’s also the boy child’s birthday and party this weekend so the next couple of days are packed for me. I have relatives that will be pulling into the driveway any minute now so this is probably going to be a very quick update/accountability post.

Illness and Seminar
Oh buddy! I missed last week’s accountability post and for that I’m sorry. I’ve been ill and the medications I’ve been trying are taking their toll. It’s hard to write when it’s a monumental effort to get out of bed without the room swaying. I’m finally back to functioning status which means back to work. Woo! To kick off my recovery, yesterday I attended an online seminar about writing short fiction hosted by the wonderful Mary Robinette Kowal.

And that has been the struggle the last week and a half. While in my mind’s eye I envisioned myself sitting down to work on editing my rough draft as soon as the kid’s were off to school that first day – the reality was ugly. I panicked with so much free time and ended up not being very productive when it came to writing. But, and there’s always a but,…

What do you do?
So I decided that I would start up a blog chronicling my writing and my attempts at publishing said writing. I also realized pretty early on in the planning stages that the website was also my attempt to justify being able to call myself a writer. That’s an idea I’ve been rolling over and over in my thoughts since it reared its ugly doubt-provoking head: Do I have to justify that title to myself or anyone else? I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember, mostly using it for pure fun and enjoyment but other times using it as a way to escape the more difficult times in life.…
