all the words

Sometimes I feel like all of my words are for my books. I write and write into the evenings, my mind constantly on the story, and there don’t seem to be enough words left over for blog posts lately.

There’s so much I want to share. I want to talk about the new book and how hard it is to write Michelle’s story, but how I love the way it’s coming together. I want to show you more pictures of our 20th anniversary party, which was such a fun and special day. I want to share about things that have been going on around here since school started. It’s been a constant stream of friend drama, sleepovers, gymnastics for the girl, gaming conferences for the guys, book promotions for me, and some sickness thrown in there. And writing. Lots of writing. It seems there’s been one thing after another for months and I haven’t yet stopped to let it all soak in.

I know I will. Soon. But if I simply share pictures around here for a while, you know why.
