Let's Do the Time Warp....

I've had a few people ask me where the hell I've been. Right here. Nowhere. Take your pick. Honestly, I had no clue I had been away for so long. I think that there is some sort of time warp between Maine and Ohio. During the summer, it didn't get dark until almost 10pm. Now, the sun doesn't come up until just after 8am. Maybe we took a wrong turn and wound up in Scandanavia or Alaska--whichever one of those places have sunlight or darkness 24 hours/day, depending on the time of year. Between that and the fact that the calendar is now saying it's almost Halloween, I guess maybe I did fall down a hole and disappear for a while. But, hey, I've managed to crawl out of the hole and am back on firm ground. For an update on work, check out my website: www.marierossiter.com It has certainly been an up and down time for the ol' career. However, I can say with confidence that I am hitting some of the most creative strides in a long time. Taking on a "Novel in a Month Challenge can do that. Yep, 50,000 words in one month. I'm on track to finish the word count today, but still have LONG way to go with the draft. But, at least now I'm writing the book instead of talking about it. Funny how things work that way. Anyway, it's good to be back.
