I've been away. Not to garner any sympathy, but my mother, who has been declining for a year died last week after a month in a care center. I and family members have been by her side.
Sad news, yes--very sad, but, I had nothing better to do than to write, and write I. did. I almost completed the final draft before proofing.
It's a bitter-sweet accomplishment, but I know Mom would approve. I'm still shooting for an April completion.
Don't feel too sorry for me, my mom was eighty-eight years old and ready to move on. We celebrated her life and she would not have us dwell.
