Big Six, I suppose this was the post I hoped would not be coming, but I perfectly understand what you are saying. Many contributors to these boards over the years have repeated the advice to do something which is interesting & exciting for you, because that is what is most likely to interest and excite potential readers.
The Pat O'Farrell story has given me a great deal of pleasurable reading: you have created interesting and engaging characters and written about them with talent and a real sense of style. The quality of writing has remained remarkably consistent and you are to be congratulated for that, when you have a real life to live, as well as other dynasties to chronicle. If you feel you have now arrived at the point where you think you would be repeating yourself, then I - and your other regular readers, I am sure - will quite understand if you decide to draw The Baseball Life of Pat O'Farrell to a close. If that's the case, you have my heartfelt thanks for the pleasure your writing has already given me and I will wait in eager anticipation to see which direction your future work takes.
