I’m Back

It’s been two years since I posted to my blog. During that time, I wrote a book, BRATs. It’s 350 pages long (90,000 words) and fiction. I’m in the midst of reading it from front to back for the first time. 

The whole process has been challenging but worthwhile. Another learning and growing experience. Writing dialogue was new. Characters also. I have a great mentor and editor, Dina Santorelli. She is published in her own right. And a patient teacher. She tutored me through the process. Without her, this would have gone nowhere. 

Until this, I’ve only written business proposals. Some have been the same length and even had elements of fiction. I don’t remember!! 

My plan is to start adding to the blog weekly. Stay tuned.

Finally, a piece of Thanksgiving fiction: I decided that the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock did not have turkey. Being close to the ocean I think they had lobster, clams and other seafood delights. In honor of that tradition, I will make New England Clam Chowder from scratch and lobster for our Thanksgiving Day dinner. Enjoy the day of giving thanks.
