So…apologies first, excuses next.\u00a0\u00a0 I have shamefully neglected this blog for far too long.\u00a0\u00a0 The excuses include having a publishing schedule for fiction that meant writing books half-again longer in the same period of time, the need to keep up the blog for those books and increase the posts to it with the publishing schedule, and some serious health issues in the family (multiple hospitalizations, tests, and surgeries for one family member in the past 18 months.) \u00a0 But still.\u00a0 This blog deserves at least a weekly something, and yet…I can’t promise it’s going to get it.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ll do my best.<\/p>\n
Topics keep coming up, and I make note of them and sometimes even start blog posts over on the writing side of the computer (drafts of posts are in the vaults of the data drive.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But they haven’t made it through editing and over here.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ll be using up these first, in hopes of having time to do some others later.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They’ll be in order of\u00a0 how finished they are.\u00a0\u00a0 (Yes, that sounds lazy.\u00a0 Yes, it probably is.\u00a0 But I have a fiction book on deadline and that fiction buys the groceries and keeps power to the computer.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
