The new project

I'm off and writing and, for a change, enjoying myself. I've been struggling with my writing for the past few years...well, really, since I had my first child. I lost my mojo and I'm slowly getting it back again. It's easy to put yourself in the back seat when you have kids. I think all parents do it, to some extent. I decided recently that it was time reclaim my life. I've started 2010 off well. Last month, I went to a short story writing workshop run by the marvellous, Cate Kennedy. I attended with a girlfriend who's in the second year of reclaiming her life. I've got tickets for this Saturday's Gala opening of the Wheeler Centre for Books, Writing and Ideas. The list goes on.

The best thing is that I'm writing, and writing more regularly. Well, I'm not writing on my blog too regularly, I admit. I've started something new. A crime/fantasy novel for the pre-teen/early teen age group. I've never written for this age group before and I've never written anything with a fantasy element before, but I've been inspired by my writing group, Clan Destine. A motivating bunch of women and men who have opened my eyes to new ways of expressing myself. I'm giving this story a red hot go and, for once, the words are flowing. I'm into Chapter 8 and in my head I'm further down the track.

2010 - the year I reclaimed my life, my mojo...(TMI) and my libido!
