It’s been a while

It’s been a while since I’ve posted.  Well, it’s been a while since I’ve written ANYthing.  That needs to change, so as of today I’m going to start on an old story Lost.  I have a real love/hate relationship with this novel.  It is the first serious thing I ever wrote and at one point in time it was accepted for publication.  That didn’t turn out to be the wonderful thing it should have been.  After the contract was signed and before the ink was dry there was a problem, not with my novel but with the publishing house.  They had some issues and the editor I was working with left under cloud of scandal and my poor little story was lost in someones computer.  After tracking down the owner of said publishing house the rights reverted back to me and it was free to sell again.

The problem with that is I had very mixed emotions about the quality of my work and the strength of core story.  I felt it could be better if I…  Is there ever a good ending to that sentence?  No, and so the novel has sat in one computer file or another waiting.  Well I’m going to dust it off, change the ending (or rather add one) and try again.  Whish me luck.
