Focus

I've spent more time than I should on my alternate history project. But it's that creative spark that keeps one going; when it's lit, you can't quit. There's something about building an entirely new history and basing it in as much reality as possible. Especially something that could have happened only twenty-five or so years ago.

Anyway, I posted a couple of pieces of this timeline here in earlier posts; the full thread, for those who are interested, is available here. It's a growing thing with plenty of people following it, which is a nice feeling. Someone even mentioned they'd be nominating me for a Turtledove award next year, which is one hell of an honor, particularly since the story is only a couple of weeks in at this point.

Focus doesn't apply to just writing, though; our business is really ready to ramp up now as we finally have our new oven. Which means I'll be making more bread, of course. Which is totally fine. More bread means we get more dough. And the new oven won't be an easy 'turn it on and bake' thing; it's a professional stone-bake oven with a learning curve. So, focus is the key.

And so, we move on, taking life to the next level. It's a journey, and it's always exciting. Make sure you pay attention to your own journey, because you don't want to miss any of the good stuff along the way.
