This is how I feel. You may be aware, or maybe not, that I haven’t been writing lately. No new novels, no extension of my current series, no short stories or commentary or anything. I’ve been in a severe state of writer’s block, a paralysis I’ve never experienced before. Yes, I’ve experienced delay in output, because of surgery and illness.
