I recently got a notice indicating it was time to renew my subscription on this website.

Imagine my surprise (and dismay) when I realized it has been almost two years since I posted here. Wow. That’s a long time. Even longer since I’ve published anything as Sarah Madison.

It’s time to take a hard look at what I’m doing with this account, and with myself as a writer. For some time now, I’ve had difficulty interesting myself in the characters I created with such love and joy.

There are many reason...
