As a few of you may have
noticed, production of my fiction and articles stopped a couple of months ago. Since early November, caring for my
91-year-old Mother has consumed most of my available time, energy and
emotion. I keep hoping that this will
change, it does not show any sign of doing so.
In the meantime, I keep noodling around with “Armageddon’s Prisoners,”
and a couple of articles on business and religious subjects. The next chapter of “With Our Backs to the
Wall” remains about ninety percent done.
It may not help that I’m trying to write for two (or more) audiences at
once, but when I have the personal resources it’s a good way to deal with
writer’s block. If I stuck on one thing,
I worked on another.
But writing requires a lot
of mental energy. My head is full of
characters and situations demanding my attention if they are going to grow. Even the care and feeding of alien invaders
requires considerable work. For the
moment, my creations lie frozen in amber, awaiting my return to the word
processor. I hope to reanimate them in
the near future, you will all hear about that when it happens.
