I Haven’t Forgotten You!

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Sep 15, 2009

I haven’t forgotten about this blog, I promise! I feel like I’ve been neglecting this poor little blog lately, and to some degree there’s a bit of truth there. It isn’t intentional, though, I promise! I’ve been working on some pretty exciting projects.

During the course of this month, I decided to work on fiction once again. I’ve been writing about it on my other blog, Jenny Greenleaf: Maine Writer & Artist, but I neglected to do so here for one reason or another. I’ve had the “fiction-itch” since 1996-1997, but I was always deterred from looking at it from a career perspective because it wasn’t a “money maker.”

This was bad advice, I know now, and I wish it hadn’t taken me over a decade to come to this realization. Believe me, I’m not walking into this as a get rich scheme. That’s very far from the truth. I’m walking into this wanting to be the writer I started out to be. Don’t get me wrong, non-fiction will always be my bread and butter because the pursuit of knowledge will always exist within me. Fiction/Novel writing will be in the mix now, too, though . . . no longer pushed aside because someone else’s agenda didn’t quite match up.
