WOW talk about a leave of absence. I am so sorry but my brain has taken a complete leave of absence. It doesn't seem how hard i try to write i just can't. So i am sorry about the delays in getting anything done (i think it's more than just a delay because it has taken me a year.) but i have a lot going on in my life as well and i ask that you try to understand what it is all about.

I moved back to the United States In May of 2008. I lived in Ft. Bliss, Texas for two months and then took a much needed month long vacation to visit with my family whom i hadn't seen in over two years. From there i moved to Ft. Bragg North Carolina an that is where i have been since the end of July 2008. As if all the moving was not enough i had to add on the knowledge that i was/am going to be deployed to Iraq in October.

During my time here in Ft. Bragg i have managed to write one book and that was for the 2008 NaNoWriMo where i was also a ML for the Fayetteville, Ft. Bragg, Hope Mills, and Spring Lake region. I also held a similar position in NaNoEdMo which happened in March. In April i will be the ML for Script Frenzy, NaNoWriMo's sister challenge to write a screen play I have also been trying to stay on top of managing a writing website called Monthly Muse. (key word try because it is falling flat) and working on wedding preparations with my soon to be husband.

As soon as the inspiration hits me, my work schedule slows down, and school gives me a much needed break i will do what i can to write some more. Until then i just ask that you stick with me and send me those e-mails full of inspiration that will help me get over my writers block (which oddly enough is more of a fear of writing) and encouragement that i have been receiving from time to time. I haven't forgotten all of my loyal readers out there and i will be back when the time is right
