Are You Moving?

Moving, in one form or another, has been the topic around here lately. This past weekend, my husband, kids, and I moved my mother in law into a new home. It wasn't a long distance move, just several miles down the road from where she'd previously lived.

It got me to thinking, am I moving forward with my writing? I guess that you could call it a delayed New Year's resolution musing. In some ways I think I'm making progress, in others, not so much.

What is considered a good writing move? A long one? Short ones? I've made short moves forward, such as writing blog posts or an article for a women's magazine. I think that a long move might be to enroll in writing classes, or write in a completely different genre, or to start a novel and see it through to publication. I think that the long and short moves add up to the finished product. We need the long, the short, and everything in between to get to where we are supposed tobe. What do you think?

While we're on the topic of moving, here's a site with info if you are planning an actual physical move, like my mother in law just did. New York Movers offers moving services for an across town or cross country move. Their concept is interesting; the site matches people with moving companies. Consumers post details about the move, location, how much stuff to be moved, etc. and they provide bids from moving companies. This would have come in handy when we moved from New Jersey to Kentucky six years ago.

Well, enough of my musings. Please share your thoughts, digressions, and musings, and tell us about your latest writing moves. Moving out of state, out of the country, out of a genre, or out of the computer chair? :) Hoping that you are, like me, moving forward.

Happy writing!
