Okay, so I've sort of disappeared from the blog world, but if you follow me on social media you might have a small idea of what I've been up to. Here's a hint: WRITING. With a little bit of working and living thrown in there for good measure. Part of the living involved my 37th birthday. (Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me...) I apologize that it took me so long to write a new blog, but now you can see why! Please follow me on social media for more frequent updates on what's going on in Sabra's World!
The main thing has been writing. I'm bleeding words. After I attended the 2018 Muse & Marketplace in April my graduate program (Class of July 2013), The Solstice Low-Residency MFA in Creative Writing Program at Pine Manor College, reached out to see if I would like to attend the Agents/Editors/Writers Conference in September. Of course I said yes. The only problem was that I had no work to present. I brainstormed. I didn't sleep. And then I had a funny thought. Whatever happened to my undergraduate thesis? I had fifty pages about three very different sisters and their debacles. What could I do with it? Seventeen years had passed since I'd written it. I made A LOT of changes and now have a 268 page novel about two, not three, sisters growing up in West Warwick, RI. As the girls grow into women they move from their roles of the perfect child and the troublemaker to the perfect adult and the opiate addict...
