It has been a long time since I updated the blog section of the website. There are some contributing factors to this, but I’ve always maintained that the blog part of the website is the last priority when it comes to my writing. As such, I’ve been focusing on revisions of existing manuscripts, reading, writing short fiction, research, and prepping the next major manuscript. My tendentious (golfer and tennis elbow) is still plaguing me (writing eight hours a day at work and then writing when I get home is hampering the healing process) but it is getting better. I have begun doing exercises to strengthen these tendons which is giving me decent relief. But, sitting down and cranking away on a manuscript is still difficult – though short fiction is possible (I’ve written four new long form short stories over the last two months).
However, I feel that I need to do a stint of blog posts. So, there should be a significant amount coming out over the next couple of weeks. These are ideas I’ve been jotting down and wanted to focus on. Also, I will be updating the section “My Journey to Writing” either today or next weekend – it is severely outdated. Then, at the beginning of the new year, I will begin work on Manuscript 8 which will be a long format novel with intertwining ideas. Also, Journey to God has been heavily revised over the last month. The goal is to finish these revisions and submit a query to an agent I would love to work with because of her personality. Sorry for the lack of updates!
