A month plus a day flew by . . .

Since I last posted. I'd like to say I've been busy writing, but that's only partially true. I had a few internet problems when the cables were upgraded, and don't you think it would have been a fine time for me to get caught up with all my projects?

Well, yes and no. I rummaged around in my old files and pulled out a story I wrote many years ago. I confess I got caught up in the story, not so much because it was a gripping page-turner, but because some of the writing was absolutely horrifying.

I didn't give in to my first impulse and shred the offensive pages. I want to keep them as a reminder that I started to write because the stories that filled my head needed to exist in concrete form. I needed them to exist.

Still do.
