I'm taking a break from writing
Posted: Wed Jun 28, 2023 2:52 am
I’ve decided to suspend posting new chapters of “Pirates and Prisoners” for a couple of reasons.
I like to post about a chapter a week, a pace that I can’t seem to keep up due to health and family issues. The health problem is chronic, I need to find a way to pace my output. I hope the family problem will resolve itself by about the end of August, at least I hope that by then we will have moved our daughter and grandson from Washington State to Colorado. (Both my wife and I think this move is ill advised, but don’t actually have a say in what she does).
At the moment, I have a major case of writer’s block. I can’t seem to muster the energy to keep writing. I may keep working on Pirates and Prisoners, but not post any more until I’m sure I’ll get some where with it. In the last few days, I’ve discovered that rewriting and editing is not as demanding as creating new content. So, I’m blowing the dust off two projects and getting them ready for the proofreader. (I have one lined up).
By the end of summer, I should have a sci fi alien invasion story published, with a cult thriller to follow shortly. Maybe after that it will be fun again and I’ll get back to work on P&P.
