Back In the Saddle

Things have been a little more disrupted than I would have liked over the last couple of weeks, but it looks like the life issues which got in the way of writing are settling down again. From car accidents, to broken computers, what I’d planned as being a nice couple of weeks of writing was anything but.
My family and I are still dealing with the outcome of a car accident from a couple of weeks ago which has the potential to cause some chaos for another couple of weeks. Fortunately everyone is okay, so that is a major blessing.
The planned time without my computer became something much worse than originally expected (a 2 day repair took 10+ days), and it’s still not quite right. At least I think I’ve managed to track down what the issue is, now. Or, at least I think I have. Fortunately the next step is an overnight fix.
With those issues crowding me out, I was amazed that I actually managed to sit down and get some writing done. I went old-school and attacked it with pen and paper. After the first semi-successful session I had remembered how to write and think at the speed of my handwriting. Some of the story elements that I had been struggling with when writing on the computer became really clear and flowed together nicely when written on the page.
I will probably finish off the current short story by hand, and transcribe it slowly, but it should make for a much more useful and workable story.
The other thing that I missed out on really keeping an eye on was the release of “A Proper Consummation”, which I think is one of my stronger books. It’s out, now, if you haven’t picked up your copy, yet.
