The Vicarious Life

Is this the weirdest year ever, or what? Never have I needed my imagination more than right now. Rather than remaining isolated in my home like others, I've traveled to Scotland, Hawaii, and Paris. Not really, though, I've been living vicariously through my characters. Thankfully, my last real trip was to a writer's conference in Asheville, NC in February so I was thoroughly pumped up and primed to write. My enthusiasm and new training aided me in completing my first novel. Now I'm preparing for the pitch with print-rewrite-print-rewrite-print rewrite. Never thought I had the attention span to write a novel, but I was blessed with a great idea days after Hurricane Michael ravaged my town. So here I am, living through another character until I can get back into traveling, hiking, exploring, and living life to the fullest!
