Getting Back to the Real Me

I should have expected this, but it's been a long time since I had to sit down and write something from start to finish.  Both Home Decorating for the Real World and Ghost Country were already finished, I just had to do some editing and they were ready.  Writing the new novel has been exhausting!  The ideas wake me up at night and sleep is something long forgotten.

This has been a strange experience to say the least.  Writing has always been therapeutic for me and for the first time in years I feel like I'm getting back to the real me.  I think everyone can relate to that.  You grow up, get married, have kids, and suddenly what you want isn't as important anymore.  It's no one's fault, just other things take the place of the things that were once so important.

Now, years later, I'm picking up where I left off and it is a great feeling.  I'm back to who I'm supposed to be.  I announce proudly that I'm a writer.  I can function on less sleep than I got when my daughter was a baby.  Life has me energized and I look forward to all of the possibilities.
