Over the last few months, various events have arisen to claim my time, so I haven't been focused on writing. Recently, for example, my dog was bitten by a rattlesnake. After two nights in an emergency care clinic and two treatments with anti-venin, he's fully recovered. It's great to see him happy again.
I'm ready to get back to writing, barring more distractions. And, I think, it's time to do that last (yeah, sure) rewrite of my novel.
