Damn! Hadn’t realized how long it was since I posted here. Been a hell of a year as so many will empathize with. Anything that could go wrong, did go wrong. 2021 is Murphy’s Law personified! Writing was impossible and led to more stress, which made writing MORE impossible. Love those vicious circles…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally began to truly write again today, so I hope it continues and doesn’t peter out. : P<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am currently working on two stories, both of which are almost finished, if I could just damn well focus!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Atone” is over halfway done. “Semblance”, which is going to be renamed “King’s Bane: Siren’s Call 2” is almost finished. So tantalizingly close! So I’ve got my writer’s hat on and fingers crossed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Surprisingly, what broke the blockage was me creating a map for King’s Bane. Seeing the world I created in front of me, instead of just imagining it, really got me interested again. I don’t know how many writers find that useful, but it sure has worked a miracle for me! All of a sudden I could see the entire plot unfolding…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, sorry for such a long silence. Have missed everyone in the meantime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take Care as Always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
