Taming Triton by KC Kendricks (might and maybe make it possible)

This has been a watershed year for me. Had I known, as I ushered in 2009 among friends, the twists and turns my path would take, I might have made different decisions. I might have taken the job offer in March. I might have invested differently - in Mason jars. There are any number of things that might be different. I have no difficulty seeing that. But the writing would remain the same. No matter where I see myself in life, the writing is there, lifting me up, anchoring me.

The words flowed fast and furious this year, up until September and I had to step back and deal with the annual budget shenanigans at the day job. I should write some of that nonsense into a story some day. It might be a splendid way to vent my frustrations, the biggest one being that it sucks the energy out of me and I collapse when I come home in the evening, not write. But September is past, and my normal routine is beginning to reassert itself.

When I started writing Netting Neptune, I had in mind to do a three-story set where the characters in the first book reappear in the second and third. I had such fun with it, too! Taming Triton is the second book in the series, and, I confess, it has my favorite character of the trilogy in it - Austin. Maybe, someday, I'll do a story from his point of view. Or maybe I'll keep him just for me and Steve.

Might. Maybe. I sense a theme tonight. "Might" and "maybe" open the door to possibilities, and that's a theme in Taming Triton. The possibility of meeting a lover and maybe him being the one. How accepting yourself might make your life better in unexpected ways. How taking a shot at happiness might be worth the risk.

No doubt about it, I think happiness is worth the biggest risks of all.
