It’s been a few weeks since I last posted. I don’t have much of an excuse. We’ve been knocked around by pre-school bugs, and it seems like everyone in the house has caught every last possible cold that is floating about the place. Summer is just starting to peek around the corner now, though, and I can hold out some hope that the worst of the colds are passed.
I took a walk along Whakatane River just this evening as the dusk was settling. The bars of light and shadow cast by the lamps seemed to go on forever down the riverside path. Cars plied their way back and forth across the bridge, shining their headlamps across the cement structure, and diminishing again. Waterfowl made little ruffling noises in the water or called into the grey air on the far bank.
It was nice.
I’m going to be doing my best to reset things a bit. It’s been long enough now. It’s time to get back on the horse and start drawing together some work, threading words on a string of sentences. Something of that sort.
Of course, I haven’t been entirely idle. I have been posting A Charm for the Nameless Child (albeit gradually), while also working at expanding A Treasure of Bone & Promises, and dabbling here and there at other things. I’m going to start to pull together some of those other things more seriously, and perhaps pick up the pace a little with A Charm for the Nameless Child.
We’ll see how things go. That’s all we can ever do sometimes.
