Reprieve – from Milled English 1300s, involving a sort of
postponement – in the literal sense – ‘to test again. I guess that’s where this author has been for
the past year or so. On a sort of
reprieve. More like a forced sabbatical caused
by a car accident that knocked the ol’ melon loose a bit.
The occurring events forced a big break from major
multi-tasking between careers.
Apparently, the brain can only handle so much technology. Who knew a concussion could melt down to such
levels and overload the brains super-highway?
Modern medicine is still catching up on the ramifications of concussions
long-term repercussions. My newly
acquired first-hand knowledge – a year of my writing life I’ll never get
back. That all being said – parents,
athletes, coaches, etc.; all should take concussions very, very seriously. One year later and I still can’t sit under fluorescent
lighting, or direct light for long intervals.
So, now that I’m finally feeling my brain waves popping and
crackling at normal levels again – it’s time for some dang writing! If the reprieve is over, a whole new path
lays ahead. So, what have I been doing
during this down time, you might ask?
Plotting. Characters,
story-lines, marketing, and mayhem. All
the things we authors love. I finally,
just this month, began to read a book on my Nook. First book in a year – gasp! I know, right? The
torture… I’ve missed so much – so many heroes,
villains, hotties, and heroines.
And speaking of characters – it’s time to begin anew. I’m looking forward to getting back to work
on my WIP pile. Old and new friends
alike are at the top of the list. With
so many changes having taken place in the industry I’ll be branching out more
into the self-publishing realm, as well as wrapping up some pending stories
with Mojocastle Press. There is a lot on
my list, including a new Quarterly Newsletter I’m putting together – so stay
tuned for more on this and a sign-up.
