Well will be back soon.
Between job changes, lack of business travel (a LOT of my writing was done to pass the time in lonely hotels), and just life, I have not had much time to compose new stuff, and what I did put down I couldn't seem to come up with a complete story line (I'd have the beginning, or the end, or middle, but at best 2 out of 3). There are 5 partial stories sitting in Scrivener.
But about 2 weeks ago, a story sledgehammered into my brain with at least all 3 parts pretty defined (for a first story that COULD grow later). Not sure its my best plot, and its different in style to some of my other things, but its THERE.
The first part is almost done, and will be posted shortly, followed by the rest (at the moment its 5 parts, all of which are actually generally plotted out!) as I can get time to put words to keyboard. But for once, Time is the ONLY limiting issue.
So short version - I'm not dead. Yet.
