Happy Mother's Day

I thought I'd take this opportunity to say, "Happy Mother's Day," to all the moms out there and explain why I've been oddly missing for the last couple weeks (since being a mom is pretty much the reason).

I started the A-Z Blog Challenge and got all the way to W, before I just couldn't do the daily blogging anymore. I've been home with my new daughter for the past two months and, while it's been great, the mom thing is really tiring me out! I haven't had the energy to write anything for the last couple months and I just lost my steam with blogging, too. It was awesome reading everyone else's posts though (what I could get to) and I'm really proud of those who were able to do all 26 days!

In May, I decided I'm coming back with a more manageable two days a week. I'm going to start posting again on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm also going to start making my regular blog rounds again. I miss talking to all my writing friends (I haven't checked my email in weeks and I have about 200 unanswered messages to show for it).

I'm going to try to do some actual writing this month, too. I've been a little depressed by the idea I've been kicking around about rewriting my current WIP yet again. I'm pretty convinced that I have to lose (and gain) a few characters and switch the whole thing to first person. Of course, there's whole sections I can keep, so it's not going to be too horrible (I keep telling myself that). Before I continue on though, I need to work on getting the best beginning possible, because I'm really struggling with that right now.

I'd also like to say thank you to all of you who stop by even though I haven't been able to reciprocate. It really means a lot to me and I'm looking forward to seeing you all soon!
