Perhaps we reveal ourselves too much in small things because we have so little of the great to conceal.

Been a hot minute, hasn’t it?
I’ve been in a bad way of late, and this was one of the things that fell by the wayside. Not a good look when I’m angling for consistency, but I’ve been buried and working to find my way out. I think, finally, I’ve found my pathway and have taken those first steps.
This isn’t a real article – I’m not back to that point yet – but I needed to put something up for my own sake. And, while this isn’t anything worth writing home about, I wanted to bring attention to the fact that I’ve now put the first six chapters of Residuum on the site. Part of my delay in things is that I’ve been pursuing editors and readers for the novel and, having actually found some, I’ve been spending a lot of time reading their works to exchange critiques. This is all highly time consuming, but it’s a necessary step toward my end goal.
I’m sure I’ll have plenty to write on all that in time. In the meanwhile, if you have the time and desire, feel free to give the current draft of the first portion of Residuum a read. You’ll find it here.
Have a good week, all. Go create something wonderful.
