July 2019

Great to be healthy again. The past few weeks have allowed much progress on the latest in the Duel at Sea series. No end in sight yet, but that will happen as it always does. Even at that another murder mystery pops in and out of my head. Nothing concrete, but interesting possibilities. It will have to wait its turn as Duel at Sea IV has priority.

June 2019

After a couple of weeks the attacking virus was subdued and health returned. Along with that good news was an increased volume of work on Duel at Sea IV. One of the downsides of working "on the fly" is that ideas of who and what the characters are all about pop into mind so a go-back to the beginning of the character is called for. Not a bad thing because it gives fullness to the narrative and allows a brief respite from having to flesh out the plot. Interesting to note how much the actual writing differs from the plot outline developed before the onslaught of the viral attack. Still, any changes usually read for the better and I'll not argue with the muse that drives the flower and drives me.
