It's been ages, but I'm writing a new book again! Instead of writing another speculative fiction story though, this time, I'm writing a non-fiction book.
The main reason that I chose non-fiction is that I found my schedule is more suitable for writing non-fiction than fiction. Although I've been doing more research for this book than I have for any of my fiction books, it's also been easier for me to dive into writing when I have just a few minutes to spare. This has been a problem for me in writing another novel because I need time to get into the proper state of mind when writing fiction, remembering where I left off and what is supposed to come next, and I haven't been able to find chunks of free time to reach that zone for more than a year.
With this non-fiction book, I can pick up any section that I want to and add to it. If my day job continues to leave me with little time for writing, perhaps non-fiction is the new direction my writing will take. For the time being, it sure feels good to write what I want to again!
