Slacker
Whoa, have I been a slacker lately on the blogging front. There are good reasons, but I can't tell you what they are. Not yet anyway! :D
So what have I been doing? I've been working on the What Would Sam Do? diet. This year, I wanted to work toward being healthier, not just to lose weight, but, ya know, to be healthier. And, an added bonus---by channeling Sam (from ALTERED), it's helped the writerly me get to know him better. He's always been a quiet sort of character, and for good reason. He's been through a great deal and there's a lot resting on his shoulders. But it also means he's the most distant character in the Altered world. Not many people know Sam's history, and he likes it that way.
What I hope comes across through his actions on the page, is that he's strong and fierce and that being healthy allows him to out run, both figuratively and literally, his enemies. Being healthy is a necessity to him, so who better than Sam to channel during a workout? It's done wonders so far!
And speaking of ALTERED, I'm told we'll start revisions soon. Eek! As any writer knows, revisions are scary. But I have been craving Anna's world for a while, so I think I'll enjoy diving back in.
