Get it?
Will not happen again, ever – never.
And so where does that bring us? Where has it brought me?
I know – I’ve been remiss in maintenance efforts. Non-existent pretty much – but, New Year – NewLeaf.
As of tomorrow I will do my utmost to post regularly, once a week. Hah!
We’ll have to wait and see, right?
It’s not like I’m not busy, of course.
Hard at work, writing. These days primarily focused on Book 2 of my Jim Steiner novels.
Heck, in the last 3 days I wrote 9,000 words.
Awesome, yes?
Tough pace – I’m now at 45,547 words – only about 50K to go. If I can keep up this pace I should see completion in about 3 weeks.
Let’s say end January. First draft. Then edits. Then what?
No idea. Have little or no faith in traditional publishing traction. Have no faith in self-publishing. So, what to do?
Carry on – move ahead.
Heck, not as if I’m lacking for writing projects – ‘The End of Oregon’, ‘Princess and the Jake’, ‘Veil of Tears’, ‘Twisted Roads’ and ‘The Art of BlackCat Moon’…….those are all works-in-progress – all novels in various stages of completion.
So, good luck with that, eh?
Yup
Back to work – come see me here next week – should have a new update then.
And, by the way, almost forgot – ‘The Thinn Man’, a serialized cliffhanger, is available to read on my Patreon page – www.Patreon.com/mxmoore. It’s a fun quasi-romantic crime romp – a new chapter added weekly.
And one of my poems, r o l l e r c o a s t e r was published in: Killer Nashville magazine, November 2023 issue
(https://www.killernashville.com/issues/november-2023)
And, even more – additional pieces – flash fiction, poetry – are slated for release in other publications in February. I’ll keep you informed.
Promise.

healing through writing come the Fall I will be offering a newly developed course through McGill School for Continuing Studies…..titled, ‘Healing Through Writing’What is it all about? Exactly what it says. The act of writing, regularly (daily if possible) has tremendous therapeutic value (well documented) – it is both clarifying and purgative if done, say as a personal journal. Simply because, it’s human nature – if one had ‘issues’, problems – conflicts, anger the very act of writing it out will usually result in a sense of balance restored. Not always, but usually.
This post, on medium.com, was written by WIZDOM (https://lnkd.in/eg4bX4-F) and it clearly presents a balanced argument for, w r i t i n g .
So – what are you waiting for?
I have recently acquired www.writingMatters.Online. In the coming weeks it will serve as a focal point for general writing matters, because, yes – writing matters.
