Back at the pen

Dear blog,

I love you, I really do. Please don't feel neglected. . . I still think highly of you!  I just haven't written much.  You know that novel I was working on?  Well, it was interrupted.

Here's what happened:
The big boys came home for summer holidays.
End of story.

My scribbling stopped.  Taken over by frequent swing pushing, soccer ball kicking, and a multitude of bandaiding.

But, I have come back to scribbling, and am hopeful to not stray so far again.

The good news is, I was published this Spring in Island Writer Magazine.  It was a non-fiction piece called, The Crematorium and Other Views.  Not a very upbeat title for someone who proclaims to write children's stories to make you smile!  But, it was well received when I read it at the book launch.  Here I am after the reading:



And there's the book I'm published in.  Oh, happy day - oh most courageous hour!

So dear blog, I do solemnly swear to return to you more often. 

I will also eat cookies.

Love and happy writing,

Carol N.
