So my big news for those of you still reading this blog…*crickets*…is that I SOLD my first book in a three book deal and signed with my dream agent. WOOT!!! We made the decision to publish under a pen name, which means this blog will no longer be my writing website. Stasis equals death. I read that in my plotting notes recently, and it struck me again how true that is. Change is the only constant. So in the spirit of change, I’m freeing this blog from the confines of an aspiring author. It will rise again from the ashes (in my copious free time between mommyhood and writing deadlines) to be the place where I share my other interests…namely KNITTING, crafting, baking, and generally being an undomestic goddess who dreams of getting out hiking more.

I’ve really been limited in what I feel comfortable talking about on the blog for the last few years, ever since I realized people actually read this thing. Honestly, I have a lot of anxiety about sharing my thoughts on the internet. Mr. Stewart, he of the 10 thousand twitter followers, does not have these qualms. But I’m a shy, sensitive sort, and so I worry about how strangers perceive me and how one might take my words out of context and generally doing things wrong on the internet.

I’m going to worry less about what other people think about me, stress less about blogging grammatically correct sentences, and embrace the creative community that the internet can be when we aren’t being snarky drama queens. I’m poking my head out of my shell again to share the light of my creativity with the world one post at a time. I can’t guarantee that I’ll post regularly, but it’ll be a sight more than never.

Until then, mes amis, this is good night and good luck.
