I’m afraid that I have been a serious slacker these last few months. My writing stalled out after an epic April Camp NaNoWriMo and I never quite got my motivation back. I’m not quite sure where it went, but wherever it is, I hope it knows that I’m waiting for it!

With the new year comes another fresh WriYe and I’m using it as my kick in the butt to get back into the writing I love so much. While I may not be jumping in with both feet like I did last year (especially not after spending the week in pain due to poor lifting techniques when picking up my little guy resulting in an angry back), I am still undergoing the challenge. I’ve set myself a goal of 250k words written this year and I’m certain that I’ll achieve it this year!

I’m starting off slow this year, just enough to get myself back into the habit. I figure that a couple hundred words a day is certainly better than nothing, even if they’re complete gibberish! I’ve got lots I want to accomplish this year, as long as I’m not side-tracked by too many new products like last year. There are so many cool challenges on the WriYe website that its hard not getting caught up with them and ending up with a whole new novel on your hands! (Or in my case, two full novels, one of which was classified as a supernatural romance!)  Most of all, I want to get Chaotic Galaxies: Blood published this year. It SHOULD have been out last year, but I allowed myself to be distracted by so many new and shiny projects.

With these few goals in mind, I start another year of writing, writing and writing! (And I should probably throw some editing in there too…) So, if any of you see me slacking again… feel free to give me a virtual kick in the butt!
