A reader here asked for a blog update, at least to confirm I was still alive. Since my last post 2 years ago was all about my heart surgery, I thought that was a fair request.
Obviously I am still alive enough to make a blog post. The heart is still working with all its new parts and my other health issues, mainly the diabetes, are seemingly doing okay - which mostly can be translated as my head is still above the water.
My wife and I left our home of 39 years in January and moved into a rent-subsidized apartment. Our soon to be 10 year old grandson is living with us and we are enjoying the new location very much.
As fr as writing goes, I've written the first few chapters of several new things, but struggle to go beyond that. I am almost finished with a Harry Potter fan fiction piece, but since it is more or less X rated, i am reluctant to post it, and plus i just can't seem to get the ending completed. I began writing it to see if I could write those kind of stories, and i think I can, but my muse holds those reins too, so we'll see if she allows me to finish.
So, to recap: Still Alive. Still Writing. Still unable to finish anything. Still wishing I could afford my own internet connection. The library where I usually go to get online doesn't allow me access to SOL, so not able to check things here too often. Still glad to see people reading what I have written. Take care, and wish me luck in finally finding the right bribe/gift/submission to my muse, so that she will open the gates once again.
