Phoning It In

Lately I've been hard at work on this new novel. Once I've reached my daily goal (yes, we are back to the wordcounts), there isn't much time or energy left over for blogging, but you'll forgive me, right? It's temporary.  My plan is to finish a messy first draft soon (within the week!) and then sort-of take a few weeks away from it, letting the tendrils of the first revision to weave and arrange themselves at the back of my head while I read for research, sew and knit, daydream about future projects, and plan a trip back to Ireland in April (working holiday, yay!) I'll also be packing up to leave my place at Kings College, because a monthlong trip abroad feels like the perfect segue. (I need a kitchen, people. I need a welcome mat, and a bathtub, and a blue sofa.)

The muse is a friend. She might be on time or she might keep you waiting, but she'll never stand you up. #amwriting— Camille DeAngelis (@cometparty) January 12, 2014
