Thirty Years Old!

Now Playing: RISE by Hans Zimmer
Just Read: MISTBORN by Brandon Sanderson--The first of his novels I've read. Very entertaining, from beginning to end! An interesting and unique magic system that he obviously thought through very well. Good stuff!
Reading Now: LETHAL WHITE by Robert Galbraith

I'm thirty years old today!

People have talked to me about their own thirtieth birthdays and the feelings they had about being thirty. Namely, that they hadn't accomplished all they'd wanted to thus far. When it comes to my writing, that's true for me as well--I always thought I'd have a novel published by now.

But, I can't complain. I have done a lot of other things in my 30 years of which I'm very proud, like finding an awesome wife, finishing grad school and working as a nurse anesthetist, and writing multiple novels and countless short stories, even if none of the novels have been published yet. The truth is, the one I think is most publishable, I haven't queried yet because I think it still needs some tidying up. So, maybe after some editing, that dream will come true.

Until then, I'll keep doing what I'm doing--working my day job and writing as frequently as I can find the time and energy to do. I'm becoming a better writer by the day, even if I haven't published a ton of stuff recently. Word by word, I'm getting better.

Here's to the next decade!
