It feels great to be writing a novel again, for the first time in over a decade. I’d let myself venture into the world of script-writing, working on comic book and stage projects, but honestly never really finishing anything for the last several years.
Now, I’m a few short chapters into a very exciting-to-write novel and feeling energized like never before about it. And it’s odd, because this burst of creativity comes on the heels of my mother’s death at the hands of pancreatic cancer; at a time like this, you’d think I’d be in no mood to write. Yet I am.
While an Outer Banks getaway would seem more fun, perhaps this is God’s way of comforting me through this difficult time; by giving me a novel idea and the energy to see it through, perhaps it will become my first published novel, and I can dedicate it to her.
