Since August or so, I&#8217;ve been plowing through the three earlier drafts (written over the course of almost 15 years) &#8212; getting my head wrapped around the characters, and the twisty plot, and the background (real) history and how the WIP&#8217;s story line weaves in and out of it, and&#8230; and&#8230; and&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Now the time has come to put aside the tools of critical reader, of careful researcher (if you will) into the mysteries of a story much of which I&#8217;d forgotten. It&#8217;s time to face again a blank screen, tremble just a bit, and start hammering at the keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll still be posting here, from time to time. In the first place, I&#8217;ve still got something like a couple dozen draft posts in the pipeline (including one to appear later today), and plenty of ideas for others. And, for sure, I&#8217;ll continue to post the Friday <em>whiskey river<\/em>-driven meditations. For those of you with blogs of your own, I&#8217;ll still be stopping by to lob comments over your transoms. And for those of you on Facebook (and, to a lesser extent, on Twitter), I&#8217;ll still be around there as well.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I&#8217;ve done this kind of thing often enough that I know I will need distraction every now and then.<\/p>\n<p>But, well, duty beckons. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My fairly regular posting schedule here at RAMH &#8212; averaging a post a day &#8212; is about to run off the rails.
