I am truly sorry I haven't been around or contributing tales. You know all those people who say they have no life? Well...the miserable curs gave them all to me!!! With so many family obligations and my work, I barely and rarely have time to even write a sentence or two. Sometimes, when it's slow and I have two or three minutes to myself, or I'm having yet another sleepless night, I do manage to take a peek at some of the tales being posted.
Well...today I've had two cancellations so I've had a wee bit of time to look around. I am sorry to say that I've forgotten how much pain too many of us are in. I read about so much despair and sorrow at not being able to express one's inner being and I do understand how hard life can be for many of us.
In the way of a little update, I've been working on a tale that I started right after the last one. It's been perhaps more than a year ago. It will be a monster (over 360 pages on Word thus far). I have no idea when I'll be able to finish it although I am having a great time trying to write it...word by word and sentence by sentence. I am, however, writing a tale that will appear hopefully before the month's end. I think it will be interesting, or at least I hope it will. It will be about someone who was 'reborn' (though clinically correct, I do so hate the word transition) and had to attend a new school. It will be dedicated to all among us who are in pain and, as with my tales, offer some hope.
May We All Know Peace In Our Lives...

It's Difficult
... when your job interferes with your avocation. I'm struggling with the same thing: too much work (keeps food on the able) and not enough time off.

so much for my ability to sing.
Yes, I understand and agree with you both. Real Life came back and ripped me from my well deserved semi-retirement then thrust me into another country where things have been going five or six hundred miles per hour ever since. I'm basically putting in around seventy hours a week with something like fourteen or fifteen hours of driving (riding) time each week. Couple that with the rain these last few days (which has slowed things a bit) and I can't find time to write. Even the time to send this short note had to be stolen near the end of my day at work.
For those who are sick and depressed, I wish you well. Many of us have been or are there. Don't feel alone, just come here and either read (when you get the chance), blog (ditto), or jump into the fray in the chat room. There are a lot of us who find many others in a similar boat. Maybe someone will mention some idea that will offer some help for you.
God Bless You All
