WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

That question is complicated. For one thing, I can't believe it has been that long since I posted anything to this site. For another, I am not happy with the absence. Once again I have volunteered myself into a corner with a strangle hold on my old-ladies throat, and fight as I may, I can't seem to win the battle. And whether I have a great number of people reading or not, I need to keep this blog current.

Illnesses, deaths, travel, Board duties, holidays--they can all be used as excuses but there really is no excuse. All writers find the time to write--and I have done that. I've won a few prizes, had many things published, kept my bi-monthly newsletter going, and have a lot of ideas simmering on the back burner. What I haven't done is put some of that skill into the need to write here.

I hope to make up for that by writing frequently.
