I have come to the conclusion that I am procrastinating.
I have found myself with too much to write. I have book 2 of the Caramere Saga well underway, Part 1 of the Voyages of UES Gagarin - Planetfall to begin, and my advanced certificate of creative writing to complete. Plus, I am throwing myself into reviewing lesser-known indie authors. Miss Lakewood, the girl with the purple strand, has been an inspiration in that regard, and as my books have no current reviews, I believe the only way to fix a problem is to do it yourself. So I am supporting my fellow authors, and I am told that the more you read, the better writer you become, so either way, it is a path to improvement.
Lastly, I find myself drawn to poetry as of late. Releasing several on my substack and social media platforms. 40 years had a comment that really stuck with me, the reader stating the poem was 'profound'.
I don't know if anyone will ever read any of this, but it is for posterity, I guess. I initially began writing for my children. To leave something behind for them and maybe inspire them to create their own works or continue telling stories within the world I had created.
I should get back to it if only for them.

I'm very proud of you Mr. Rutland!
Cheers from the strange girl with the violet strand 💜
