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.
