A New Start

I'm not doing so well with this blogging thing.  
It has been an entire school year since I last wrote.  
Now that's unforgivable...

I thought I had gotten back into the swing of things and would 
begin writing again--it didn't happen.  
However, I'm happy to say that I've begun once again.  
I am on my second middle grade novel and am five chapters into it.  
It took some doing to sit in front of the computer screen and focus, 
but once the story got going, I couldn't stop writing....well, until all the 
end of the year foofaraw (fuss, in case you don't know that word :) ) started up.

Maybe the excitement over my sister's book spurred me back into it all.  
Publishing a book actually seems like an achievable goal 
after seeing what she has done.  
Her book is called Watched by Cindy M. Hogan.  
It is a young adult book that I recommend to those who like 
to read adventurous, thrilling books tinged with romance.  
Her first book signing is on June 8, 2011 at the 
Barnes & Noble in Layton, Utah from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.  
She will have other authors there, as well, including James Dashner.

I find it difficult to both write a book and 
write blogs and other things at the same time.  
I get too involved in what I am doing 
to make a side-trip to something else.  
We'll see what I can do in regards to that as the summer progresses.

Have fun reading!
