A behind-the-scenes look at the evolution of a book/series
1. New Year update....

With the beginning of a New Year, I thought for one of my resolutions, I'd try to write a little every day. Such a thing used to come naturally to me. And it does, still...in the form of blogging or e-mails. When it comes to writing fiction every day, well...in the era of social networking and free Wi-Fi, it's harder than it used to be for me. Adding to it all is that my "office" at home is in a corner of my parents' living room, where I'm living currently. It offers 0 in the way of privacy and a lack of distraction.

So, anyway, yes. I did see a spike in progress...but then, this week, I began my couple classes on the road to earning a Library & Media Endorsement (which will allow me to expand my teaching skills beyond just secondary language arts with the ability to also be a school librarian, once I've completed the necessary classes and taken a test), so now I have homework and readings to tackle. (The classes are almost entirely online.)

In spite of distractions and suchlike, progress is being made. Just...slowly. Still possible to have the first draft done by the end of the summer (my goal) but only if I get things seriously moving along.

I also do need to promote PIT5 more. Yes.
