After all, my last book came out in May of last year, so have I done any writing? You bet I have! But after finishing a project as big as the undying\/crossing\/fading set, it&#8217;s kind of hard to start something different. My first attempt was working out quite well, but for some reason, I lost interest. Not that it&#8217;s not a good story or a good set of characters (it was and they are), but for some reason, it just wasn&#8217;t flowing. Writing is very much a creative process, and I was having trouble keeping the words coming.<\/p>\n<p>So, for now, I have &#8220;shelved&#8221; that project. It&#8217;s not gone, and it&#8217;ll likely be back. But I needed to do something that I had more passion around. Check www.tomcreek.com for the shelved project.<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s the new project? That&#8217;s a little bit of a secret, of course. But I can tell you this: it will follow the life of the main character from age twenty through age 55, as he starts and ends up running the world&#8217;s largest company, and how he tries to balance his personal and his professional lives. And it looks like it&#8217;s going to be a substantial book, so it may take a while before you get to read it. If I get enough requests, I may start posting some previews&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>Share<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-127\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/mmsmits.com\/?p=127&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-127\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/mmsmits.com\/?p=127&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-127\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/mmsmits.com\/?p=127&amp;share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\"><span>Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-reddit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-reddit sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/mmsmits.com\/?p=127&amp;share=reddit\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Reddit\"><span>Reddit<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/mmsmits.com\/?p=127&amp;share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span>Tumblr<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may have been wondering what I&#8217;ve been doing with my time.
