You may have noticed that my blog posts are few and far between these days. That’s because I’ve had a lot going on at work, and at home, and honestly, writing other stuff. That other stuff being writing two novels in the same year. Yeah, that kind of stuff. I started writing “At Home in the Cloud” in January, and I finished the first draft in March. I submitted a chapter for reviews but didn’t get anybody to take me up on a review of the entire book. I’ve now submitted chapter two and I am waiting to hear back.

The big event this year, of course, was hearing that my novel “Christmas in Pandemonium” would be published by I Ain’t Your Marionette Press. This is what I had been working on for three years, but it created the good problem of giving me another project to put on the fire: namely, a sequel to “Christmas in Pandemonium.” That’s still in the drafting stage, but right now, it’s already over 46,000 words. Given the length of “Christmas in Pandemonium,” that’s about halfway done.

All of this has left me with too much to do, such that I have been sparing in writing on this blog. Partially, it’s because I have been concentrating on writing and revising the two novels. And the other part is…I have been writing and revising two novels. You see, writing two novels takes your time away, but it also takes away your creative juices. I’ve learned that I am really only capable of being so creative at a given time, and right now, all of my creative juices are dedicated to the novels.

Maybe my creative juices will recover once I’ve finished the novel, but right now, I’m tapped out.
