Back, but on a New Track

Ah, it's been over six months since I last posted on this blog, and since then, life has changed quite drastically. All good, but for the sake of anonymity, I'll spare you the details.

I finally gave up on the book I was writing. Given the state of the economy, I had to put my entire focus on my paying work, and hence the novel got put on the back burner. When I finally returned to it, I simply had no will to execute it.

It was gone.

In its place is a new book. Not fiction, but memoir.

I thought very hard about this. Whether my lack of motivation was for the book I was writing, for fiction, or something else. I've realized now, after some introspection, that maybe there's a novel in me somewhere, but it's not ready to come out yet.

This book is.

I'm going to continue my 800 words a day regimen again. I can't do it every day this time-- weekends are likely out, as are the days when I'm working. It's a luxury to even have work in this economy so I'm trying very hard to keep it that way!

I'll update the blog on the days that I do write. I'm sure there will be struggles along the way. I'll be sharing.
