How did I break the writer’s block? I hear you ask. Ok, so that is a white lie. I have cunningly employed a subtle device to steer the conversation onto what I want to talk about. What do you mean that is neither cunning nor …
Read MoreNo Excuse
I know. I said I’d start updating again and I haven’t. I am a poor excuse for a writer. The fact of the matter is that I had a had a few false starts in various works in progress, but each one faltered and died …
