By daylight, I am a mental health professional with a cool gig that allows me to write complex, technical published reports. I love my job. The fusion between mental health and writing is unique and a beautiful fit for me. But, there are significant limitations. Technical writing is different from creative writing. Technical writing demands active voice a large percentage of the time. That makes straightforward and clear sentences but tends to leave out creative flow. I crave that creative outlet I cannot attain with my day job. So.. here I go... writing my first novel. Truth be told, I have worked on this novel for many years. I just never get traction. This time is different. I have a plan and a road map to move me toward publication. I'm glad you will be coming along to see my progress, musings, and lessons learned. There will be many. Happy writing✍
