# I have a BIG apology to make to my followers.

I haven't been around to interact with everyone as much as I would normally - or as much as I would like, for that matter.

There's a reason for that. 

I'm writing new works, I'm looking at getting the books 'Trad-Pubbed' and I'm making contacts with people in order to get that one particular dream off my bucket-list.

I've fallen back in love with writing and something has had to give a little. I didn't want to give up on Steemit and I didn't want to give up on my gardening and I didn't want to give up on my car and driving to shows etc, so I made a compromise - everything has been pared back *just a little* to fit in my writing.

So far, it seems to be working, I'm writing, thinking, researching and enjoying myself. Getting feedback has always been the main attraction of Steemit for me, so I couldn't very well give it up, could I?

At the moment, **Verdigris**, **Children of Sol** and (Work in progress title) **Bouncers** are taking the majority of my time and I'll be giving **Ash** a re-write too, so busy-busy-busy here, for me.

Keep going with the story-mentor tag, I hope it helps and again, I'm so sorry I'm not around so much.

See you soon with a completed novel, I hope :)
