Things have slowed to a crawl, and I wanted to let people know what was going on. I’ve mentioned in the past that I have a minor medical condition; it’s in no way dangerous, but it does slow me down when it hits. In late October I got what I thought was a cold — but a month later it hasn’t gone away, and has only gotten worse. So that means it’s time for me to go back on medication. Hopefully that helps, and I’m back to writing soon. My apologies for the extended delay.
