What am I doing right now, anyway?

The ever present question that I can keep coming back to because of my complete inability to update ANY of my social media with any sort of frequency.

April… was a wash. I literally didn’t write AT ALL. Which is the longest period of non-writing I’ve had since I began a short story fan fiction over two years ago (these will never be seen. The world has enough Warcraft fan fiction as it stands!). And I was busy with training for work, then being sick, then I had a long weekend in Austria which led to second degree sunburn etc. etc. you know how it goes.

But now, I’m back on it! The writing is going strong, and I’m enjoying it again. I’ll admit that the break was much needed and not simply a requirement of life. My interest in what I’m currently writing had waned, and it felt like everything was just taking too long. But I came back to it, reread a few chapters and found that I quite liked what I had on the page. That is actually the first time I’ve read my own work, before publishing it, and genuinely enjoyed what I read. I’ll write more about the weirdness of enjoying and despising one’s own writing in another post. For now, just know that my spy/thriller/comedy is coming along nicely, and I’ve got high hopes!
