Sorry for the Gap

I am genuinely sorry for the extended gap between my blog posts. My soon-to-be 100-year-old mother lives with me. In the last nine months, she has broken a collarbone and had two hospitalizations. So, unfortunately, writing has taken a backseat.

But I have returned. Nonfiction writing has drawn me back, and I’m working on a series of books about colors and language. I look forward, each day, to digging deeper into exploring the animal and plant world. I am intrigued by researching and succinctly explaining concepts and facts.

Querying, as usual, has brought positive and some less positive responses. One agent felt she would have difficulty finding a market for these books. Thankfully, my attitude has evolved. The market is so fickle and changeable that I have to write what interests and inspires me. When these stories are accepted by a publisher ( I hope!), the tides will have shifted again. I must keep working, honing my craft, and enjoying the ride!
