So She Says…

Good morning, sweet peeps, and congratulations! You made it to 100! I’d jerry-rigged a rudimentary device out of twigs and clay and bits of wire that ran between my website IP address, and an egg timer. Last night around —-, it went off, signaling me that - once again - it’s time to get up and write to you dudes again. So, here I am. I had a good vacation.

In fact, I had such a good vacation that I’m going to extend it, and I’ll tell you why. In the time between lurking in my comments section and crying over the need for a new transmission for the car, I began once again working diligently on my book. In case you clocked in late and missed earlier discussions (circa 2004) on the subject, I’ve been writing a book. I’ve been writing it for about five years, which really means I wrote diligently for approximately 8 months, sporadically for 2 years, and then spent the rest of the time thinking about it every day. It’s damn hard work being an author, I’ll tell you. The thinking alone is chunk enough to choke a donkey. (I don’t know what that means either. Note to self: think of funnier comparison.)

The book is a mess and needs my attention. It needs restructuring and an actual storyline, neither of which it’s sporting right now. We’re creative beings, but we have only so much creative energy to spend - or at least I do, lazyass that I am - which boils down to the bare fact that I can’t blog and write a book at the same time. SO. I’ve decided to pour myself into my book and blog only occasionally, when I’m bursting with something to say. I feel terrible after all the begging and raw emotion and wonderful things you said to me:

(Nines): “5. She is a regular blogger, unlike people like me who are unreliable.” haha!

But a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

I’ll keep the comments open if you want to say something to me - and check them regularly. Also, you can write me letters: kellywell@gmail.com. I like letters, and will even endeavour (endeavor) to reply. And if I ever finish this book - and if by some miracle of heavenly magiks it ever gets published - I will dedicate it to all of you. Or I could come crawling back in two weeks. Either way. I love you guys. kiss hug xo
