You know how you get so busy with life and work and extra-curricular activities that you look up and three days have passed? I went to my own blog this morning, and to show you how busy I’ve been, (it’s my home-page), only to find that I haven’t updated since Tuesday!
Truthfully in the little spare time I’ve had in the past few days, I’ve been sleeping, reading and I’ve been writing a new urban fantasy story. I really like one of the main characters that I am writing. I am desperately trying to avoid having my female characters play the proverbial “damsel in distress” as well, which admittedly is not so easy considering my past. What can I say, I liked to be rescued, and that is very hard for me to admit.
My motto on my facebook page is “Trying to bake a tougher cookie…” and I hope that I can be a little more assertive in my dealings with people as I get older, which will hopefully translate into not so wimpy female characters. We write what we know, right?
Wish me luck. I’m gonna need it.
