Getting in order

Hello to all my fans! I know you're wondering where I've been and what's happened to me. Although this is no excuse it is one of my main issues. The lab job I took in May of last year has nearly occupied any extra time I enjoyed when I worked in Water Treatment. Oh how I miss that work schedule. I have strayed from my love for writing during the winter and found myself playing online games. I became addicted to them, not realizing how they ate up the hours I needed to be writing.
Trying to manage four blogs, a website, Myspace, and Facebook did nothing but create mass confusion and a desire not to do anything because of time related issues. My husband switched jobs and now works the same hours I do and so sometimes my alone time is not alone. However, he is not to blame (all the time) and he supports me as only he knows how.  (I plan to pursue my musical interests because of him and the band projects he lands.)
Then there's my cats. Why is it they have to pile themselves on my keyboard or my lap?
I think I've taken a step in the right direction and decided to eliminate some things (not the husband, he's cool.....for now)
As of now, Stuff From The Attic will remain my sole blog site, everything goes here. For me that's made it better already. I have many things planned this year and goals to accomplish, but I needed a moment to think.....
As for my novel "Savant", it's on the back burner. In order for me to make it work right and be believable I need in depth research. I thought I might have had a publisher interested in the book, as it turns out I never received a response back even after several inquiries. Am I upset? No. I really wasn't ready for that, I needed more time and it needs critiquing rounds in my critique group.
What's going on with me today? Glad you asked. I still plan to do some writing oriented issues such as interviewing authors and reviewing writer's websites and blogs. I also have expanded my horizons a bit and have written a couple of songs. I hold many interests in writing, almost all types of writing is intriguing to me and want to write in the ones I like and see what happens. Book reviewing is also an interest of mine and so expect to see a few of those tossed in too.
The projects I have now? Another great question. I am working on a novel I started in November of 2008 called A Day of Reckoning. I decided to work on this one and get it finished because of the content of the story dealing with current issues such as immigration. There are older postings about this project but as the novel comes to a close, I will post more about it at a later date.
As I mentioned I've written a couple of songs, just words, no music put to it yet because I don't know how. I wouldn't mind learning the guitar, but my hands are small, and arthritis has taken it's toll, so I need to find someone who can play and get song to words and see where that goes.
Sometime back I wrote a piece here entitled "What's the purpose of poison ivy?" This particular post seems to have received more comments than other posts and so I plan to follow this up with a reposting of that along with other things which I wonder what their purposes entail. Like mosquitoes....and fleas.....It promises to produce some controversial issues because I plan to come from all sides, biblical, scientifically and personally, for instance, I believe evolution is part of God's plan. I'm sure this is a subject that is not new, but I'm taking it on.
So, I will be coming to my one and only blog more often, staying away from the cute little games and run the husband out of the room. Some of you will probably notice I reposted some material from the former blogs onto this one, but I will have made some revisions and updated them, so they won't be the same.
I'm looking forward to a great year, I believe many wonderful things are in store for me. As the saying goes, "Less is More"!
