I didn't blog last year when I was in college. I couldn't find the time, and I also didn't have anything particularly writerly to write about because I wasn't...writing. But now, not only am I writing {well, I will be once I settle in}, I'm published. The writing world isn't going away--thank goodness!
It's interesting: when I began this blog, I had a specific vision in mind. It wasn't just a writing blog.
Writing: from the point of view of a young aspiring authoress who lives at home and whose younger brother has Nerf wars in her room while she's trying to write.I realize now that it's changed, on the surface at least. Because now the authoress has a new setting.
Writing: from the point of view of a {not quite as} young authoress who decided to major in a ridiculously difficult subject just for the fun of it and now juggles a courseload and a book.
Like, what if I'm asked to speak somewhere, as an author, and my response is: "Well, I'd love to, you have no idea how much I'd love to, but, um, I have class. And we have quizzes that day. In that class." What do I do then? Quizzes vs. writing. Do they drop quizzes in this class?
This is what it looks like, folks. This is what it looks like to major in physics and write a book. {It looks awkward.} {But also awesome.} {Also, I was informed by a physics classmate that the creator of Foxtrot--you know, the comic--was a physicist. There you go.}
Coming next week: all my little observations and recommendations and formatting tips about e-book publishing...and my second proof copy {let's hope it's perfect!}!

That's great. It's not like a single student's is much different than that of a parent who works full time, runs kids around, and has to try and squeeze a little time to write. Good training. ;)
