Writing::life as....

In my constant search for something to occupy my time (constructively, that is), I continually find myself drawn to the idea of writing a novel.  Crazy, I know.  Ranks right up there with "poisoned food tester" and "teacher" on the masochism scale.

Yet for the past few weeks, I have a character in my mind that seems to need to have her story told.  The more I explore her possible world, the more excited I get about telling this tale, about wondering where her story will lead me. I've been exploring the world of publishing through some great places, most specifically the folks over at Hatrack River, who are anxiously engaged in helping others perfect their craft.  They have helped point me in the right direction, and I'm very grateful.

As with everything else in my life, who knows where it will lead.  Being a creative person by nature (music, theater, etc.) I am excited about the opportunity of making something from nothing, creating a whole new world and letting people share in it.  On we go...
