Since I began neglecting my writing, I got engaged, planned a wedding for a year, got married, and have been married for three months now. My life is finally starting to slow back down and give me a chance to focus on things like writing. I'm happy to finally be able to get back to it.
I am going back to the novel I was writing when I left off before, though I have changed some key plot points in my head. As I go back through what I've already written, I've begun to realize that I matured a lot as a writer over the past year, whether I was actively doing it or not. I've been editing the chapters I already had down to better fit my more filled out writing style and to adjust for the major plot changes in the story.
I'm still only about 12,500 words in and have a goal of 150,000 words. I'm thinking that if I keep at it I might actually start trying for an agent by my birthday (August) and who knows, might even get some good news by the end of the year! Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I really have faith in my novel and my writing. I think at least someone will want it.
Well, there's an update from me to my entire readership of 0 followers. I'll try to keep updating this empty void taking up space on the internet!
