Greetings dear readers.
Amusingly, many of you may not have noticed my prolonged absence from the literary realm. "Why?" you may ask. Well, it seems that holding down a "real" job can be somewhat of a quandary for writers. Sure, paying bills and affording luxuries, like food and fuel are nice and all but when one is busy with work, literary endeavors usually get de-prioritized. Case in point. I am currently managing construction for a telecommunications company from Sweden, that is implementing 4G LTE for a major US wireless provider. I can't reveal which one. Let's just say it's not AT&T, T-Mobile or Sprint. At any rate, I have been busy with building the technological infrastructure of tomorrow. That, dear readers, is why I have written neither jack nor squat, in months.
Like many authors, I find it difficult, if not impossible, to write under the mentally and physically demanding conditions of intense work. Amusingly, without adequate funds to live comfortably and not have to work, I can't write. Sadly, the choice to work and have enough money to live but not be able to write was a most difficult one. Sacrifices had to be made.
Will I write again? You bet your sweet ass, I will! When? Who knows? I am making every effort to strike that seemingly impossible balance between work and writing. I hope and pray that someday, I find it.
So mote it be.
