I&#8217;m still writing. Just wanted to let you know that.<\/p>\n<p>Since I decided I had to let go of word counts, I&#8217;ve been somewhat aimless. My own process has been unclear to me, the way to produce actual finished work as opposed to partial, undone manuscripts. But given that I have all the time and space I need to keep chipping away at the problem, well, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been doing.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment my writing is all nonfiction. In addition to the <i>Grow Your Own, Colorado<\/i> gardening guide, I started a history of my life. That began as a way for me to work through the personal issues that block me from finishing my pieces. But it&#8217;s turned into an interesting project of its own, and may yet turn into an actual book. We shall see.<\/p>\n<p>I am also still working on some art for the <i>Grow<\/i> book, using the little tablet I got last year. I enjoy it though I have to work in short bits so as not to stress my hands. Satisfying, nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll continue to work through the winter, and I hope you will too. If I manage to get anything close to finished, I&#8217;ll post and let you know. In the meantime, I update the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clarybooks.com\/?page_id=24\">Resources for Self-Publishers<\/a> page now and then. Maybe someday I&#8217;ll get around to re-organizing it as well.<\/p>\n<p>Best wishes, and keep writing everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, everyone.
