It happens, and I no longer freak out about it, although it still is a bit disconcerting.
I do try to write something anyway, even if it is only a couple of sentences.

A travel opportunity of a lifetime was offered, and I accepted it! Then I had to accept the consequences - both real and personal.
I was changed by the experience, and my wife urged me to write the book.
