Checking in from August 2021. Class continues and my head is very much in that space — and I am kind of excited to share that I have written what I think is the opening of my novel about Kitty and Duncan Carr, Alex’s great-to-the-fourth-grandparents. If you are interested, I’ve posted it on my M.L. Carr Author page as “The New Year’s Dip.”
I’ll be taking a break from the book next month to come back here and write a little more. While much of life is static — Rachel and Matt are still working towards an elusive pregnancy; Jules and Kayla are frustratingly mum on the same topic; Fenn continues to drift along in a waste of love with my ex-husband — there have been some changes. I suppose I worry that by working on The Book (as it now looms, capitalized, in my consciousness) that I will leave this place behind.
I’ve always been bad at good-byes.
