Hi there,

Well, I think I’ve proven that I’m not a blogger, given that my last post was in 2020. That being said, I have been writing. I’m in the midst of finalizing a manuscript and headed toward the terrifying step of searching for a publisher, which translates to finding a literary agent. It makes me (almost) want to tear up half a ream of paper so I can go back to writing instead.

While I haven’t considered myself a writer in my adult life, I’ve known how to write. Marketing myself to literary agents and learning how to successfully query or cultivate an online presence for my writing – feels like a much different project, but I figure this is a relatively painless first step: resurrecting my little blog and using it as a gathering place for all the people I’ve talked to in recent years who’ve asked me to let them know when my book is published. Instead of spelling out my name or simply letting the moment pass, I’m going to direct them here, to what’s currently a tiny digital parking lot with grass growing out of the cracks in the pavement.

Still, I have to start somewhere, so if you’d like to help, subscribe. Help me tackle this daunting infrastructure project. I won’t be bombarding your inbox with posts because I only write when I have something to say, but it will be a place to find out about progress on the book and to help me toward that end.

Thank you in advance.
