For the first time since I began the BryonySeries blog on August 1, 2010, I actually went missing. I have not posted a blog since last Thursday.
No, I'm not sick (although the rest of the household had succumbed to some whacky virus), and no I'm not inordinately busy with holidays, pre-prep and otherwise. It wasn't deadlines, and it wasn't fiction.
You give up, right?
Truth be told, as the paradoxical challenging and magical 2012 closed, but before I hailed 2013, I assigned myself an essay of sorts, a written examination of some issues I wanted to examine. The result was almost twenty-two thousand words and forty pages of organized thoughts and clearer insights. I didn't even realize I was capable of such volume in a relatively short collection of hours.
I'm going to have a hard time creating convincing arguments why I don't have time for the 2013 National Novel Writing Month. Well, not quite.
For three and a half days, I let the rest of my life go: regular meals, sleep, walks, work, family, friends, fiction, meail, voice mail, etc., everything except God and church (except today when everyone was out cold when the time came to drive to Homewood), to work on this project. The result, however, was worth it, if only for me.
I'm also battling some messed-up sleeping patterns and a migraine, but oh, well.
Today, although it is a national holiday, is a work day for me, because I definitely need to catch up. Friday is filled with personal appointments, so that only leaves me Wednesday and Thursday to complete five days worth of work.
I'll still, however, make time for family because I want to be with them and because it is right and good.
I'm also going to check out Jeanne Millsap's article on Visage that ran a couple of days ago. Here's the link if you'd like to read it, too: http://www.morrisdailyherald.com/2012/12/28/vampiric-visage/a16qq1w/.
In short, I'm baaaaackkkkk!
