Dusting off the cobwebs...

And tapping the mic...is anyone still listening out there?

After months of having nothing but baby on the brain and a longing desire to write, I think I'm at a point where I can strike a balance.

Sure, I could string together all the comments and pictures I've posted on Facebook for the last 7 months and get a pretty cute little story, but I need to focus on some hardcore creative noveling.

But which way to go?

I've been obsessing over whether to choose the glorious revamp I have outlined for Varuna Kannon (yes, I said it) OR the rewriting/finishing of my humorous chic-lit piece.

Both have such huge potential.

In my opinion at least.

When I attended an all day retreat with my writer's group back in June (I think it was) I presented them the chic-lit work.

One critter commented that the piece was SOOO different from the YA work it was like two different authors wrote them.

I asked, "What should I do if I was offered a publishing deal for both right now?"

"Pen name," he said.

"To which one?"

"The chic-lit."

I'll grant chic-lit is not his reading material of choice, but all in all I took this conversation as a mighty compliment.

Ah, but which to focus my precious spare energy on?

I suppose it doesn't really matter so long as I, you know, write.

Peace,
