I’m writing again.
OK, so not anything new yet.
But I’m back into book one edits in preparation for getting it off to my new publisher – Water Dragon Publishing – around week’s end. And I have release dates (at least tentative ones) for all three books: March 2023, September 2023, and March 2024.
More importantly, I can see a path forward, both for publication of these books and for writing something new. ๐
Recovery-wise, I am typing with both hands again – yay! And in a week and a half, I will enter my next phase of physical therapy. One of these days, I will feel “normal” again.
And in the world, there are signs of hope, tender seedlings breaking through the crust that has so long held us down. The latest wave of the pandemic is declining, we’ve finally passed meaningful climate change legislation here in the US, and the political landscape is shifting in ways I never expected.
I have hope again.
And even though it’s a small flicker, the slenderest candle, it must be nurtured.
And so I cup my hand around it, and blow gently on the flame, in the hope that it might light a brighter future for all of us.
So open yourself up to possibility. Breathe it in.
And let’s see what we can make of it together.
