Last summer I took a month off from blogging, and it looks like now is a good time to do the same to catch up on life.

I’m sure many of you can relate to my reasons: Too many half-finished projects that need finishing. A new grandbaby scheduled for a safe landing by the end of the month. A precious 9-year-old granddaughter begging for dragon-fairy adventures before school starts up again. Several planned road trips before the end of summer. Ongoing responsibilities to my local writing organization, SouthWest Writers. Fiction writing goals and commitments.

It’s life, I know. But I’ve never been good at juggling too many things at once. Something always suffers when I try (just ask my poor starving husband).

Coming up in the next few months, I’ll be starting a speculative fiction blog. Spec Fiction is what I love to write and read, and I want to share that passion with other writers and readers of the genre. Some of you may not know that Cate Macabe is the pen name I use for nonfiction (read my article “Using and Choosing a Pen Name”), but the new blog will be under my real name of KL Wagoner.

Have a great rest of your summer and I hope to “see” you when I get back.
