"'Well, I'm back,' he said."
It's been a while, hasn't it? The holidays took a lot out of me, like they have been in recent years, and just when I was over that, the flu hit. If you've had it, my sympathies. If not, be careful; everything that's been said about it being a monster is true. It took me nearly two weeks to get over it.
That's when updating this blog ran headlong into my New Year's goal. Although it may not seem like it when you look at my output in 2017, I felt I slipped a bit in terms of how much writing I was actually getting done. I want to change that, so I set a goal of writing every day, even if it's just a few paragraphs. I've met that goal every day this year, but to do that, I had to allocate my time and energy, and this blog dropped by the wayside for a bit.
It's back, but there will be a few changes. I don't plan on updating on a schedule, but when there's something I want to share. That means that I won't commit to updating every Sunday (though I'll try to have something every week), and I'm dropping the format of the post titles (with thanks to David Bowie for the 2017 inspiration). This way, I'll post when I want to post, which I think will be better for the blog.
I appreciate your patience, and your support. Thank you.
And for reading this far, you get an announcement:
I showed up for work on that fateful Tuesday wearing my second-favorite outfit, a yellow ankle-length sundress with navy blue trim. Had I known it would be my last day of employment at the Thorn Harbour Book Shop, I might have chosen something different.
Coming later in 2018:
Peavley Manor (Or, Introducing Macalley), the first Alice Peavley novel. Cheers!
