Moving Back to Sin City…

[image error]I need an outlet, so why not a blog? Haha. I may not be consistent, but for those who are interested, this will be a behind the scenes of a writer’s life. I may not post regularly, but I will when I have something to say, which is better than rambling and wasting everyone’s time.


I felt the need to blog because I made a huge decision this week. I decided to move back to Las Vegas AKA Sin City. I lived there in my early 20s and worked at several casinos on the Strip. I spent 3 years there and moved to Texas and then Hawaii. I’ve been in Hawaii for 4 years, which has allowed me to write and build up my career. Living in Las Vegas heavily influenced my work (obviously) and I think it’s time to return to this desert oasis. Living in Hawaii is great (I’m from here, BTW), but I think it’s a bit too small and remote and I want to travel (anyone love roadtrips? Yahoo!). I would also like to attend some conferences in the future and I want the conveniences of city living and anonymity (did I say I live in a small town? I can’t go to the post office or store without running into someone I know).


I’m due for a change. I’m leaving at the end of July, which doesn’t give me too much or too little time to get my life in order. Things are a bit hectic right now, but I am very excited! This does impact my writing, but I think this move will actually speed up my flow once I get set up since I won’t have as much distractions as I do here. I am worried, ecstatic and relieved. I’ve been thinking about this move for months and now that I’ve made the decision I feel freakishly calm so I know it’s what I’m supposed to do.


Wish me luck, guys and I’ll keep you all posted!

Cindi Russell You seem like an adventurous soul, you will do fine. Hope all goes well with your move and you can soon get back to writing. Will you go back to the casinos or will you be able to just write?

Hi Cindi! I am hoping to finish Carmen's book before I move, but we'll see. I will be writing full time so I'm hoping that the conveniences in Las Vegas and space will help me to write faster. I picked a community far from the Strip so I can be in Las Vegas, but not a part of the craziness... unless I want to be, of course. Haha. Yes, I'm hoping all goes well with the move :)

Cindi Russell Yeah on Carmen's book! I hope you get time to finish it. I `think`I know who her guy is gonna be. Love his character too. Looking forward to it.
