The only thing I can say right now is that things are going well in life, which leaves precious little time for writing. I have been on a Mark Twain kick lately, reading all of him I can get, and I was pleased to read that for all his novels there was a pronounced period of non-activity, usually in the middle. In some cases it was 2 years! Can you imagine putting Huckleberry Finn on the shelf for two years?

I'm not saying that Dave is going away for two years. I'm saying that I continue to make notes and prepare for the times I can write. I guess you could say I'm still writing in my head. I have the better parts of three chapters partially written, but I need time.

In other news, I have been completely and blessedly immersed in the active lives of my two boys (10 and 8) for the first time in a long time and that is worth a thousand Short Hops.
