Things! I'm reading Linger and developing a major crush on Cole against my better judgment! I'm getting ready to start working on my novel again (and fighting the temptation to scrap it and start something new like I do when the going gets tough)! I'm planning on writing more in here some day again I promise! Exclamation point!
For real though, I miss my regular posts. Yeah I've been keeping busy with a full time job and the new mama gig, but I can only use that as an excuse for so long. Many of my most favorite authors did their best work with more than one little booger at home-- and probably without the benefit of a stay-at-home-husband having their backs. At the very least, I think I should be able to handle dedicated book blogging. So here's my tentative pledge to get back to it-- Fall is just about here, and the smell of renewal in the air (or is it just U-Haul exhaust?) is inspiring.

It's hard. When I first went back to work after my first child I was reading a lot of baby books and having a hard time reading YA and then blogging about them. After my second child I switched to part time work and I thought, finally I can read and blog again.
HA!
Then, after my 3rd child I never went back to the library. If you look at the archives on my blog you can see the steady decrease. I would read books and then it would take me weeks to get a review on the blog and by then I had forgotten the best points. I'm trying to get back in the swing of things now. I'm writing about YA Fiction at the examiner as well as my blog. I hope to somebody get back to where I was, but it is HARD.
I hope I don't sound discouraging, just wanted to say "I hear you!". And that I look forward to you getting back into it.
