Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to send me a note welcoming me back. And no one is happier that I am back than I am!
I'm going to try to post regularly, and have two chapters ready to go now that will appear over the coming weeks.
And while I've tried to focus on the stories that are half-posted, some other ideas have popped into my head and needed writing down, so I have some other stuff written too, but not ready to share.
I've learned a great deal about myself over the two and a half years that I have been posting (or, more correctly, not posting) my writing on SOL. One of the things that I have learned is that, while I love the idea of serialization, and following in the footsteps of great writers like Dickens who published their work as they wrote it, a chapter or two at a time, it is hard to sustain that process in any regular way. So for new work, I'm going to wait until it is more or less done before I start to share it, like so many other wise writers on this site do. That means a longer wait for you before you see stuff, but ensures that once you start to read something, it will keep appearing regularly.
