Time doesn't fly. It leaps and skips and travels erratically from millisecond to month to year!
This new year will be everything it should be. I just hope my fingers are nimble enough to keep up with all its challenges.
Happy New Year

New Worlds
I'm dipping my toes into the deep well of research for the trilogy project, and it's fascinating. However, I've been slightly sidetracked by a rabid plot bunny which might just give birth to the foundation story of the series. It was completely unexpected, but really intriguing nonetheless.
I've long thought that a writer needs to know about their world as if it were a monumental iceberg. Only ten percent is visible to the naked eye, but there is depth and mass, composition and temperature, and movement. There is always movement. While I need to recognize every pebble and ice crystal of the worlds I create, and that sometimes happens only when I trip over them and scrape my knees, it nevertheless doesn't mean I must include every tiny detail on the page. I think that might just sink the ship called Interest.
