I plead insanity …

~ Meg

How long has it been?!? I have been an atrocious blogger the last several weeks, maybe months. And I’ve been terrible at reading, visiting and commenting at all your lovely blogs as well. But now its a new year, time for new goals and getting back to business. I promise to visit everyone soon!

I finished up 2019 by doing a lot of reading. I tackled some heavy hitters this year and fell one short of meeting my GoodReads challenge of 30 books. Still, considering the weight of some of the material I covered, it’s a pretty good show. I tackled The Divine Comedy with notes, The Tragedy of the Templars: The Rise and Fall of the Crusader States, The Art of Memory, The Stranger, The Plague and One Hundred Years Of Solitude, just to name a few.

The second half 2019 was insane, there’s no other way to put it. I’m in a new country, new house, finding new friends and my way around unfamiliar territory, physically, mentally and emotionally. But it’s good. It really is.

The move consumed a lot of time and energy and it prevented me from writing and posting here on the blog. That changes now. I am back to writing this week. I have an editing project to work on and another one possibly after that. The very act of working on writing, even though it’s someone else’s material, has given me the inspiration to get started on my own work again.

So this year, I’ll be sharing more of my World War One research, updates on the historical novel, bits and pieces of writing advice/mistakes, and an occasional piece of art. I’m not going to try any challenges this year, though. That became a bit of a burden last year. I am going to try and keep any artwork that I do relevant to my historical work. For example, characters I encounter in research or events set during the Great War.

I hope you all are well and that 2020 is off to a good start. Happy writing and productive editing!

  5. Nice to see you, Meg! With tomes like that on your list, I can understand not clocking a hundred books. I do a lot of weighty research reading, too.

    I have to take a break from writing my blog for an unknown number of months, but I will be popping in to read. Looking forward to whatever you have on offer.🤗

    1. Thanks, Dee! I miss you too! I’ve been pretty busy myself… As you can imagine! Was home over the holidays and ran around like a chicken with my head cut off! I am determined to get back in a good routine now though. Hope you can get back to writing too!

      3. It’s good. Cooking all the time, trying to get Dave settled into a new schedule with some work hours at Top Golf and using a bus service. Then I need to start looking and move into my own place and get my stuff out of storage.
