Okay -- just 'new'.
Recently I started to blog and that renewed my interest in all of my favorite things: writing, knitting, crocheting, and ~painting~.
I've been blogging for about a month as an adjunct to more base web-based activities (selling stuff
and, not my plan, the blogging has occupied more of my interest than the selling.
It takes forever to sell stuff on the internet anyway.
Here is my bio:
I live in Columbus, Ohio. I will be 40 in March (/cry). I've been with the same guy (marriage number 2) for nine years. We have two kids between us (Boxer Dogs). I work in State government.
Here is my issue:
I would NOT lke to get published or find an agent so much as FINISH the project I've been working on for about two years. I have about 160 pages. It is a fast paced, comedic mystery.
Recently, I think I realized that the reason I became 'blocked' (read stymied, annoyed, bitter, frustrated) was because I managed to lose the Voice of my main character admist huge exposition.
That, I fear, is about skill -- integrating both Voice and dull-plot-line together to produce a readable Work.
Ideas on what to do? I hate to start over.
Thanks!
