It's been about a year and a half since I started writing more seriously, and I thought I'd give an update on what I've been working on, especially since you all don't see any of it here.
I started one novel and laid it down. (I couldn't see my way forward at the time but have had some ideas since then.)
I then directed much of my attention on poetry, along with more focused journaling (with an eye to using more of it in some way, some day).
And then I surprised myself by starting a new novel (requiring lots of research, alas). So the poetry is stepping back for now.
It's a continuous struggle for time, a tug of war between running and writing. I need both. I'm still trying to figure out what's the minimum I need with both so that I have a better idea of how to flex when things get busy. I suspect my ultra plans will be suspended for a while, again.
Have I mentioned that I'm slow at both? I would find it funny if it wasn't simultaneously so frustrating. My output is severely hampered by my lack of speed, and I have SO MANY things I want to do with both.
Well, I suppose it's the doing that's most important.
One page, one foot in front of the other,
Annie
