Over the past month, I have been experiencing a brief opening in my prolong bout of depression of the past ten months. In that I have written four new poems and 18,000 words in a new and very dark project, which I have written two full chapters and working on the third one.

The bad news is, my annual fall/winter bout of depression starts, in two months time. Over the past decade, these bouts are heralded by a period of explosive outburst of writing, like the past month. I haven't abandoned A Work In Progress, rather, have hit a very severe roadblock in writing the second chapter of this project. As the first four chapters are fictionalized reality of my experiences of that period of my life, over a decade ago, before the fiction dominates the rest of this project.

To be honest, I hate creating a situation that I have several open projects with no visible end to any of them. Doing so, I feel like I'm cheating the readers of my writing. Never knowing, if or when the next installment is coming or will ever be finished.

Having said this, I am willing to ask for beta readers, to express their opinions on this project. If what I have written is worth continuing on with. Should this interest you, please send a PM expressing this to me.

Please understand, these chapters haven't seen an editor, yet. I don't want to waste their time, if what I have written is trash.
