A Change In Focus

Change is in the air. Can't you smell it in the summer breeze?

That's right, we're headed for a big change.

No, George W. isn't stepping down. Fox News isn't issuing an apology to America for misleading us for years. And we haven't reset our focus back to al Quaeda.

My blog is going to change.

Effective Monday, I am going to focus my energies on the Literary section of my blog.

I have had to put down my third novel recently. I was within one hundred pages of completion. But the passion was not there. I was cheating myself. So I have moved on. I began a new novel, one whose story is far more interesting to me. It has the potential to be the kind of novel that Falling Angels was. Falling Angels, if you'll recall, is my second novel. It is a story of obsession and addiction and of a dangerous connection between two people. This new novel will contain some similar themes -- love, sex, discovery and tragedy -- in what I believe will be a disturbing new setting.

In addition to writing the novel, I have decided to keep a diary of sorts of my trials while writing the novel. I think it will give insight to what I go through while writing. The diary, again, will be found on Excerpts.

I'll continue to write to Big Mouth when something strikes me, but I want to focus more of my creative energies to the book. With that in mind, please do not expect this page to be updated as frequently. Still, you may find the diary to be intriguing.

I will return in full force at the completion of the novel.
