Dark Days

In years past, I would often do a Not A Blog post on or about New Year’s, looking back over the year that was ending and ahead to the year to come.   This year, though, as I reflected on the year we had just lived through, I found I had no appetite for living through any of that again.   2023 was a nightmare of a year, for the world and the nation and for me and mine, both professionally and personally.   I am very glad that it is over.

A way to experience what people different from us are thinking and feeling. Going through their thoughts and reasonings, sometimes we sympathize with them even if we don't agree with their actions. Different perspectives might open our minds. A little bit each time. You know this better than me. Keep up the good work!

Io Bellido De Luna I'm very sorry for all the dark things going in your life and in the world around us. And I'm a little sorry to see from your comments how far left you lean. I guess it comes with the territory with artists and hollywood.. I just can't understand how smart people can continue to fixate on Trump's faults and completely overlook that we have a president in the early stages of Dementia who since he took power has been a total catastrophe to this country from crazy inflation to every dictator and enemy country seizing on his perceived weakness to act out. I hope that this year things get a little better for you and for our country and that you regain your strength to continue working on your amazing books that we love so much.
