A forced hiatus...

Has it really been over a month? Once again, I find myself in the pathetic possession of lamenting my own failure to find time to blog. Quite frankly, while I do feel my poor blog's pain most acutely, I am quite bored with excusing my lack of diligence. It is time to face facts and admit that I am not going to be able to resume blogging with anything like my former frequency in the foreseeable future.Not only does my little girl ( I can't believe she's almost one already!) demand the majority of my time, but any free time I do have I have been using to work on the second draft of Second Glances. I do have some hope of publishing it early next year, but as this second draft is almost a complete rewrite, that might prove an unrealistic expectation. I also have a few other Austen projects on my horizon, including rewriting Janeicillin for Kindle publication and "something very shocking" regarding Miss Woodhouse, which I hope to post here in time for Halloween. So the blog will plow forward, I just foresee it taking on a bit of a different function than it used to. I still hope to write reviews, when I get the chance to read, and other posts in my traditional style, but mostly I just plan to check in and share how the novel is proceeding, maybe share a few excerpts. I can't conceive of life without the many dear Janeites I have met since starting this blog a few years ago. Please don't forget about me! I will be back. I promise.
