Maintaining the self awareness to 'not go there' becomes a drain in and of itself.<br /><br />You have granted us new and strange worlds to wander. We shall abide.<br /><br />Forgive if you will, the baroque tone. In your absence I've reread my Jack Vance collection, which may have affected my brain.UntamedPlayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07363496315168294992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-85539632659704915992015-10-17T21:13:47.537+01:002015-10-17T21:13:47.537+01:00No need for guilt, or even to explain, just keep s...No need for guilt, or even to explain, just keep slogging.

In your case, it looks like you've already got yourself to a good writing schedule, and that makes fans like me quite happy.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Raylubertdashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01188432924505799379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-27977846833121946932015-10-11T23:05:38.791+01:002015-10-11T23:05:38.791+01:00Welcome back Neal, you have been missedWelcome back Neal, you have been missedGuyMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15380593291153287854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-90268970922184535992015-10-11T20:38:13.712+01:002015-10-11T20:38:13.712+01:00My grief depression was helped by my dogs.

So you have a idea of how the older books are doing versus the sales of a new title?Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00817258352819620647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-61067446338976663712015-10-11T16:22:37.101+01:002015-10-11T16:22:37.101+01:00Sounds great, glad things are beginning to take sh...Sounds great, glad things are beginning to take shape from the 'fog' :)Jebel Kronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18268376841818116214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-30735253337325539902015-10-11T15:49:39.126+01:002015-10-11T15:49:39.126+01:00Thanks for, amazing update.Thanks for, amazing update.Lauris Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02862122434580917461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-62042522571105572812015-10-11T14:11:26.953+01:002015-10-11T14:11:26.953+01:00I certainly don't want you to feel guilty, but...I certainly don't want you to feel guilty, but lucky is good.
