I'm Trying not to have a Heart Attack

In case you haven't noticed. I'm kind of dreadful at keeping up with blog writing. I've never been a journaler or had a diary. I live through my characters - who lately it turns out, have zero in the way of plot armour at the rate they're being killed off in this first draft! Sorry to anyone overly sensitive about character deaths. It's space. Space is harsh. Anyway! Back to the topic at hand. One of the reasons I've been so dreadful about checking in and uploading handy writing tips and less handy writing thoughts is that I managed to not only get a promotion to the Youth Program Director of the Alexandra Writers' Centre Society this year and went and expanded all the programs, but I also volunteer a ton with other youth writing groups. Which puts me in a bit of a time crunch situation. So much so my writing almost completely fell off the map and I was warn so thin I thought my health was going to give out. So I'm taking a step back from some of my commitments and cheering from the sidelines instead. I'm letting other people who are young but ready take over things and mentoring others to take my place. I'm getting back to writing and HOPEFULLY this blog. No promises. I'll do my best. Stay tuned and see how it goes. Of course you can always poke me and give me a topic to write on. I love to talk writing, so if there's something you want to know how to do, be sure to let me know. I'll do my best to tell you how I do it and we can go from there.
Happy Writing!
