Back to work!

Boy, has it been a while. I took about 6 months off from writing to welcome my son, Mario Goku, into the world and to help my daughter adjust to the life of a kindergartener. Both are doing very well, but not how I expected. That is just what it is like to be a mom.

Now, my nose is to the grindstone and I have a lot of work to do and I mean a lot. While I wasn’t actually writing for 6 months, I was doing a lot of planning. I just didn’t like the direction things were taking and there were many things that I wanted to change. Namely, the first and largest change is the point of view. Originally, the story was written in first person, but I wanted to allow a deeper look at the other characters. So, I toyed with writing the chapters from different perspectives but I am now leaning towards an omnipresent viewpoint. I have about two pages done now and I am just not sure about them. I am such a perfectionist when it comes to my writing and if something seems off I dwell on it. I just can’t move past it. I don’t know if I am trying to force something that isn’t there or if I am on the right track. Only time will tell!
