I suspect too many authors hit a roadblock, figure there's no way around it, and wallow in helplessness, instead of seeing it as an issue with how they've structured the story itself.(less)

My last book?

Sadly, after a series of 'failed' books over the last four years, I'm forced to concede that I'm unlikely to continue writing. As my health continues to disintegrate, and I'm confronted with severe sleep-depletion issues, I no longer feel qualified to continue publishing.

As always, this may change, if my doctors and I uncover some wonderful treatment for my condition, but as this has continued for Read more of this blog post »
