But sometimes I know what I’ve written is wrong so I can’t go any further with the story until I figure out what’s wrong and revise, which can take some getting away from my desk for a while. I feel my writing always benefits from some time away from it so that I can come to it with fresh eyes.(less)

The Backstory Part 1

I’ve decided to try writing a blog here—since I’m getting nowhere with the book I’ve been working on. This entry is my backstory—it’s on my website as the first half of “The Backstory”—and I’ve written it at least partly to remind myself of all the books I’ve written—yes, I have managed to pull books together in the past even though that skill eludes me now.
