What's Next?

Yup, that's where I'm at, writing-wise. I'm at the edge of something, but I'm not sure what it is.

I started this blog back in 2012, after the death of our Lex.

Ya see, I read his blog every morning, without fail, it was as much a part of my morning as my coffee. When he was gone, I drifted aimlessly for a bit, then decided, hey, I can do my own blog.

So I did.

Why?

Partly to fill the void left by Lex, partly as something to occupy my mind. There was enough interest in my scribblings to keep this thing of ours going for the past fourteen years. But man, I feel like I'm running out of gas.

Over my sojourn down in Maryland I finished editing the prequel (part one) to Almost a Lifetime. So okay, what's next?

I really should try to get the book published, and if there's enough interest, I'll start part two of the prequel and try to get part one published. Thing is, this seems to be quite a bit of work. And one thing I've discovered since retiring is that I am now tending to avoid anything which smacks of "work."

So I'm at the edge of a cliff, perhaps a crossroads is a better way to describe it. Which way do I go next?

I have lots of hobbies which I'm stalled on because of this writing thing. As far as the writing goes, I really wish I'd known it was going to be so addictive. Would I have still jumped in? Probably.

I won't write about current day politics - it's divisive, annoying, and there are far too many opinions, heartfelt beliefs, and what have you to make it worth worrying about.

So here we are.

What's next?
