Productivity

I've been a bit MIA from the blogging world. Learning the ropes of the new job has taken up a lot of my time, but over the weekend, I finally felt like I was ready to tackle my fiction again. And to that end, I looked at a short story I've been working on, made a few more changes, and found two more markets to send it to. Also found another market for a personal essay I wrote a few months ago, and got that in the mail, as well.

Next up is a bit of research. I'm a bit worried about accurately portraying Italy - especially the Piedmont region which isn't as well known as say, Tuscany. But that's the challenge.

I think my blog has become a bit boring lately...will have to look into changing that. :-) Stay tuned for what I come up with!

    Have you hunted down bloggers and blogs dealing with that region? I'm sure locals would be happy to help you with the local flavor.

  4. I go through periods with my blog where I feel like I'm just saying the same thing over and over and must be boring people to death!

    Good luck with the short story!
