cj Sez: Here I am, headed into the beginning of fall (the autumn equinox occurs Sept. 22) and the end of Daylight Saving Time (if you’re on it, it ends Nov. 1), without the benefit of having celebrated the usual annual milestones up to this date.
Where did they go? I’m talking about the beginning of spring, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day. All were under quarantine. Now as I skid toward the end of 2020 (a year with the world-wide mantra of “stay home"), also in jeopardy of not being experienced, in a familiar way, are Labor Day, pro sports playoffs, Halloween, Thanksgiving, maybe even Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Granted I feel a little lost and put-upon, but not panicked. Creating new traditions is good, and I’m still writing, so that’s good. How about you? You doing okay?
cj Sez: Old adage: Truth is stranger than fiction. Why? Because truth is harder to write and make it believable. As a writer, fiction is my choice because I can lie and be applauded for it. Now if I could only remember which lie I told.
New releases from a couple of friends of mine and available now . . .
