Staying on track...and a bit of Potter fun

Dear Blog,
It's not you, it's me. I've been seeing other loves. Specifically a manuscript I started in 2008 and feared I'd never finish. I've written two and a half chapters since I got back from vacation July first. 
I know. I can't believe it either. But I have fans now, Blog, and they want to read novels from me, not merely shop talk and writing tips.
There, there, Blog. I know my writing tips have fans too. And I promise we'll work together to create a book just for them. But not this month. ...
