Blog Abuse and Recuperation
It’s been…entirely too long.
So much has happened since my last post: finishing up first year, setting out on Spellbound, and receiving the edits of Spellwright. That whole time, a small voice in the back of my head was continually piping up with comments about how a certain experience–say, for example, learning how to conduct a pelvic exam–would make an amazing blog entry. And yet no sooner would I sit down to try to write when another such experience–say, for example, holding an infant’s preserved heart in my hand–would come along and wipe out all ability to process previous thoughts and feelings.
I’m doing nothing but writing now: eight hours a day, minimum. And though my subject does not directly address everything that happened this year, I can tell as I watch my protagonists bump around their world and against each other that even now, even in my first year, medical training is making me an entirely different author. Better or worse, I’m not sure. Maybe neither. But certainly different.
So I’m back on the blog. Writing wise, several things are growing that might soon bloom into wonderful news. Nothing I want to jinx by mentioning now, but come back soon for updates.
Glad you’re still here.

Here but not entirely there, as always.

I can see where holding an infant’s preserved heart would render one without words.
I have a 7mm sterling bead on my charm bracelet to remind me of the size of William’s Atrial Septal Defect when he was born. It was repaired at 6 weeks. Always reminds me of how precious things are.
