After a long buildup of events, I have been put into a position that requires me to find a new place to live.  The new owners of my building have proven to be a nightmare in their own right, creating a hostile workplace that is also my home.  They have required me to go way beyond my job description here, and I ended up doing over $10k worth of rehab work in the building for no pay, and harassing calls and texts when I finally said enough was enough.  In the process, I lost over 14 pounds, had my sleep and eating schedules disrupted, and subjected to severe stress and anxiety.  So, in addition to having to find a new place to call home, I need to deal with courts and lawyers, as I refuse to take this abuse sitting down.
Just another weekend for this writer, boys and girls.
Fortunately, writing has been, and always will be, a means of therapy and solace for me, and thus, has not slowed my writing.  To the contrary, in times like these, I find myself writing more, which in a sense proves that art is born of pain, I suppose.  My current work in progress is currently a bit more than two-thirds complete in terms of the first draft.  It is my longest, and strangest, work to date I feel, and hope to have it completed this summer.  With luck, the events surrounding me will not entail too many delays, and I will complete this new novel on schedule.  The cover is complete, and I’m itching to do a title and cover reveal, so stay tuned.

Until next time,
~Namaste
