So I’ve been taking a little break from writing since the beginning of this year. I found myself rather burned out after the press of NaNoWriMo and my big push through December to get Tree and Topheth done. Most days when it came time to write, I’d sit and stare at the computer, and maybe crank out a paragraph on a story at best. After about two weeks of this, I finally gave myself permission to hang it up for a while.

We went down to Orlando, FL for vacation at Universal Studios (My daughter Rachel is a huge Harry Potter fiend fan), and I initially thought that I’d pick up wherever I left off and start writing again. Alas, it was not to be. Instead, I spent most of my time reading or riding the various whirl-a-sicks at the park until it was time for bed. Even with a suite, there wasn’t really any place that I could just disappear into to spend some time writing (and the lobby, being that it was under construction, was just too busy to bother with).

Regardless, I’m back. It’s February, and I’m ready to ease back into the writing waters. I’m anticipating wrapping up a new book soon.
