Ready, Steady, Go

After a year-long hiatus from blogging, I've decided to start fresh with a new blog.  This is, after all, a new phase of my life.  No longer a grad student, I'm responsible for my own reading and writing now.  Without deadlines, I must motivate myself to work on my novel and short stories, to submit to journals, and to pore over good fiction - not to mention my work on the literary journal I edit, South85.

As a mother of a small child, it's a constant battle between cranking out words and surrendering to mommy-mode, but I refuse to give up.  I hope this blog, if nothing else, will give me some accountability.  Read more.  Write even more.  Make words into sentences that work hard and multi-task.  Make something real and beautiful.

I want to live the writing life.
