...when life starts piling shit on top of more shit?
Over the last few months, I had two huge projects that took a lot of time. Then, just a few days after I finished the second one, I had a small accident. I broke two toes of my right foot. Nothing big some of you might say. Rightfully so. Unfortunately, that was what I thought too. I just taped the shit up and kept going on like always. But then, while playing with my kids, I had to stop abruptly, my toes complained mightily, the pain making me move in whatever stupid way it was, I fell...
...right on my right hand, breaking something in there. The second point of impact was the elbow of the same arm. Fortunately, nothing was broken, but there was swelling and blood and some other shit. I also managed to bruise my hip and some scratches on my leg, but nothing serious.
The cast is gone now, as is most of the pain. I need to catch up on work and I will try to get back to writing asap. Just bare with me for the time being.
Take care.
I managed to use a bit of my spare time to continue the story. Chapter 11 is in the queue.
Hopefully, I will be able to dedicate more time to my writing. But it definitely does not have the highest priority right now, not even close.
I want to apologize for not posting new chapters of my story Death Wish. As it has happened to countless others, real life just had to have priority. I am not going to whine about my life or any such shit. All I wanted to do was to inform you that I will continue the story, but right now it is a bit difficult to find the time, the right mood and motivation.
After some needed vacation time over the Easter holidays, I just submitted the next chapter of Death Wish. Now I only need my muse to get back and kick me in the ass.
Chapter 2 of Death Wish is in the queue.
Now I want to take this possibility to address some questions publicly, that seem to be of more general interest:
Q: Will there be future stories about The Millers?
A: That is the general plan. As with other authors, there are always problems with time, motivation and good story ideas. I don't have a timetable. Right now I want to focus on Death Wish
Q: Are you going to post Death Wish on a defined schedule?
A: Nope. I do my writing as time permits. If I need to pull 70 hour weeks at work again, there will be breaks.
Q: Why don't you credit your proofreaders and editors?
A: Because I don't use any. These are my stories and there won't be any outside influence. All errors are mine alone. I know that this is kinda pretentious, especially as English is not my first language. But this is the way I want to do it, because I can say: "This is all mine, nobody else's!" If this lessens your reading experience, I will live with lower votes. Yeah, I know that I'm an arrogant asshole.
Nevertheless, I hope that you enjoy reading whatever crap I am throwing out there and have the guts to call a story.
