There’s no denying that my struggles in maintaining this blog have gotten worse. I’ve developed a bad habit of loading up prompts onto my Alphasmart distraction-free writing device and plowing through a month at a time of updates, only belatedly posting them weeks later. It gets the job done, but it feels less spontaneous. And there’s still the gaping hole that is Summer 2022 that I’ve been unable to plug. I suppose you could say that fabric of the blog as a whole is looking a lot more ragged these days, just like the fabric of American society.

Still, I persevere. I endure. 13 years of quasi-daily fiction writing is not a legacy to be discarded lightly, and I have no intention of stopping. To those of you who still read on occasion, my most heartfelt thanks.
