Long Ago Seems So Far Away

It's hard to believe it's been more than a year since I've written anything in this blog. Blame it on the hot chocolate that melted down my previous laptop and the misplaced log book where I kept my passwords and information about websites, but better late than never.

The start of this new year brings with it a new direction. The focus of most of last year was spent searching for a literary agent for the 95,000-word fiction novel I completed. No luck yet, but I have gotten some good feedback. Positive stuff. This year, in addition to my quest for an agent and ultimately a place on the bookshelves at Borders and Barnes and Noble, is a place for the column I've written. Syndication is a bit of a mystery, but it's amazing what you can find online.

And in the blogs and comments of other writers.

Home from work today thanks to an ice storm, I had a chance to read some of these blogs. I am working on putting together an annotated list of some great ones. If anyone has any ideas or faves...do share.
