I know I’ve been really quiet lately. That’s because I’ve
been following Aaron Paul Lazar’s recommendation and writing like the wind. I’ve
spent every waking moment of my time lately writing. It’s sort of like an
extended writing retreat and I’m loving it. But I’ll admit that these long
creative periods put a damper on my blogging.
Writing is a silent pursuit. The deeper we go into the
creative trance, the quieter we authors become. In fact, writing might be the
only craft where silence means presence, hard work and absolute commitment. The
louder the silence, the more intense the author is at work. In my case, I’m working
hard on my next installment, and my creative process has hijacked the majority
of my time.
Meanwhile, I’d like to thank all of you who’ve made The Curse Giver such an astounding
success. With over 170 awesome reviews on Amazon, I couldn’t have done it
without you. Thank you so much for choosing to read and review my novels. I
really appreciate your support. More is coming, I promise.

I need to follow Aaron's advice too. I haven't sat down and written anything new in quite some time. Need to fix that!
