Still miss my friends at Clarion. Probably will for a very long time. Have decided to just put all my stuff into storage and say “screw it” with moving. I’m going to hole up at the farm for a couple months and figure out where to settle. I also have to write my next book while I’m down there. It’s due on December 1st. I think I’ll be okay for the August 1st deadline. This writing gig is hard work, but a lot of fun. I really like my editor—he knows the right questions to ask to get my mind working in the direction it needs to be.
