I'd meant to try something different, at least for me. That is, to write the first draft of a novel in semi-public view, before you, who read this blog. So the last posting was the first part of that novel, Undercurrent, which has been brewing in my brain for at least 20 years.
I would each day file a post, advancing the story, and hope that blog members and other readers would be my critics. It was, I thought, a way to pressure myself into developing an engaging story.
Then something came up. For now, I'm having to shelve the project for another that may or may not be more promising. In time, I'll report on this new project. For now, I'll apologize for failing to continue with the experiment.
