Regular readers of my blog know that I am an aspiring novelist. I explained to some people this week that "aspiring novelist" is a euphemism for "I am not currently bringing in a paycheck."
A couple months ago (in November) I participated in NaNoWriMo. I was able to get a good start on my novel because of that challenge.
I was suffering from "the plague" for quite a bit of December. So I did not make much progress on the novel that month. (The truth is that I made no progress.)
The first couple weeks of 2012 found me trying to settle back into my schedule. I worked a little bit on my novel... but not a lot. I was having trouble with the editing process. My first approach didn't work. And the second one didn't either.
But today I realized that I was trying to do too much with this next draft. And therefore I wasn't getting anywhere! So I've scaled back my expectations, and I made some breakthroughs today.
Some people have asked me what my novel is about.... I'm not telling yet!

I promise to buy it and read it when it is published.

Thanks, Kathy! I hope you will get the opportunity to do just that. :)
