Dear Readers,
YES, I'M STILL HERE!
I think this makes me officially the worst blogger EVER. Over one year has passed since my last post, during which I was announcing my last book, a nonfiction, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE LOVELY.
There's no excuse, but I can account for my absence by saying I've been working on two YouTube channels. (Yes, two, lol!) You already know about my ministry channel, Lamp Unto My Feet. I also began a cooking channel, Home Cooking with Connie Keenan, where I share old favorite recipes as well as new ones. Both channels are moving slowly because I'm thinking of taking them both in different directions.
As for writing, I haven't done any in quite some time.
Then a wonderful thing happened: I came to finally acknowledge that I miss writing.
I
Miss
Writing.
I miss the process, the characters, the sharing of stories with my readers. As I told my husband, I believe part of this resurgence in my writing has come from the YouTube channels. It seems that opening up that well of creativity--whether you're writing, sharing in videos or creating content--also opens the creative well that was there before.
So as of the writing of this post, this new book, an untitled and full-length Christian romance novel, is progressing nicely. It's almost halfway done. My goal is to get it finished, edited and polished, before the end of February.
As usual, I will keep you posted along the way.
With my 60th birthday only two months away, I have much more thoughts to share about writing, but will hold off until the next post.
For now, let me say that I'm excited and happy to be working on a new project that I hope you'll enjoy, that you'll look forward to curling up with on a cold night!
More news--and thoughts--to come!
Happy New Year!
Connie
