Progress?

Okay. Writing hasn't been high on my list of priorities these last couple of months. I'm still writing, though. Perhaps a break was needed, perhaps I just let stress get ahead of me. At any rate, I'm getting back to Imperfect Hope. I promise. (hear that, Jim? You promised it!)

Where do I restart? I'd stopped at a natural break point way back when, protagonists having dealt with their first crisis and were beginning a recovery, but... Soon the deadlier problem will reveal itself. I shouldn't have too many problems getting my writing back up to speed, but... Starting can take on a life of it's own. So I'm rereading what I've done so far, without (hear that, Inner Critic) Without editing, the goal being, when I catch up to where I left off, I should be "in the right mindset".

In the meantime, real life goes on. May have to drive out to Salt Lake in a couple of weeks to pick up Omar's (Irma's brother) kids to spend a few weeks with us, their mom is still in a hospital and facing long rehab after her brain surgery. Omar's been hanging in there, but it can't be easy, splitting his time between work on the ranch, nights at the hospital with his wife, and trying to take care of the kids. The kids are looking forward to a vacation... Lets hope Irma and I are up to the challenge.

Anyway... Back to the grind...

Clear skies,
Jim
