Like a reunion :)

Hi All,
It's been awhile! Am feeling a bit choked up as I type this, thinking of how so many of you emailed to check to see if I was okay, letting me know you still stop by from time to time to see if I've posted something new. Thank you!

Please forgive me for disappearing. I didn't plan it. But life got a little un-bloggable there for awhile. Not because it was horrifying or anything like that. It was just...dull. I was frozen, and feeling numb from writing, truth be told. Sometimes you just need a break to let the creative reserves build up again.

The good news is, I'm thawed! And I wanted to let you know of a couple of other places where we can connect online.

First, some author friends and I have a fun new project, Boston Writing Consultants. Here's a secret I've discovered: when I'm between books, I still like helping other people with their writing...I just can't think about my own stuff for awhile. So at BWC, we coach new writers, helping them build momentum, complete projects, and navigate the business side of publishing.
We blog! And recommend books! So if you're inspired/amused/entertained/motivated by thoughts on writing, check it out.

We also Tweet, so come follow us...we can hang out together :)

Speaking of twitter, most of my thoughts on life, love, THAT DOG, and various episodes of The Real Housewives of Wherever now land on my Trishryan twitter account. All the same stuff as Trish's Dishes, just more succinct :)

Here's to an amazing summer of great reads, inspired writing, and goals met, one by one :)
