I wish I could say that it's like the quiet in a horror movie, which is going to be broken by something spectacular or scary.
Nope. This post is like the cat that jumps out to startle the nerve-wracked heroine: pretty much nothing. Just a little note to keep this blog from becoming an utter dead zone.
It's not to say I haven't been keeping busy. REALLY busy. I had my first child in December of 2012 and undertook a huge move from one side of the Bay Area to the other in the summer of 2013. So, that should excuse me from a year's worth of blog posts.
Despite all that, I've managed to do quite a bit of writing--keeping the tools sharp, as it were--and even completed a monumental piece of work (there's no such thing as writing a "practice novel," I learned). Pregnancy can be a hell of a deadline!
It may be a while before I have news to share here, or even movie or book reviews (who knew that babies cut in to one's free time so?). Hopefully, though, it'll be less than 16 months before I write again.
Until then, here's an image to sum up what life has been like:
Pretty friggin' sweet.
