Happy 2013!

I must apologize for neglecting the blog for so long. Life has been pretty busy, in some very great ways. :)  

Hopefully this will be my year. Its 2013, and 13 is my lucky number, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. With some changes in my life, I’m slowly getting back into a new routine, and writing is happening. Slowly but surely.

Cry Havoc is nearly finished. I’d hoped to get it done and sent to Amazin’ Agent before Christmas, but the ending and I are struggling to fight it out. I think i’ve finally won, and it should be finished before February rolls around. *knocks on wood*

The other story, a fantasy, I’d been working on, I got about 10,000 words into and decided I hated it. Not just a little dislike. Oh no, I’m talking full-on disgusting, can’t-even-look-at-you hate it. I found some notes I’d made before starting and decided I liked the other ideas much better. But they’re light years from this one, so I don’t know if its worth it.

Time will tell. What things are you working toward this year? Goals?
