Getting back into the swing of things

I miss it. It’s been a while since I’ve written anything, let alone a blog post. The only thing I have actually written in the last month in a half or so was about 1k words of a short I’m working on. Hopefully I can finish this week *fingers crossed*. Other than that, most of my time is spent on school or other writing related activities. I have been working with a writer to edit, develop cover art and publish her erotic shorts the past few weeks. So good so far. We managed to get two done in a week that were already written and she is hard at work writing the third and should be done in a few more days. It’s actually quite fun to help someone else get their books ready for sale and then see copies start to move on Amazon. It makes me really want to get back to writing. Midterms this week and I’m in the midst of writing a couple of magazine articles for a class, so yeah, it could be a few days or maybe a week before that happens, but I sure do miss it.

I really look forward to writing soon, but I’m also a little worried. Right now, I’m about halfway done with a novel that was supposed to be the first book in a planned five book series and I feel no connection to the main character right now. I think my plan will be to get a couple of shorts done, maybe 5-10k words each and then give the novel a fresh shot and see how I feel about it. I think most of my fear is that in order to get back to where I was in the story, I will need to read the whole thing and I feel like it might be utter shit. Then what? I guess only time will tell. 

Back to writing magazine articles (for school, one about food (boo) and one about publishing (yay!)).
