It’s been a month since I’ve posted. How time flies when you’re having fun! I have been, mostly. Although it’s been a snowy, cold winter here.
When last you heard from me I was thinking. I think I’ve thought enough. I finally got a handle on the book I started and was attempting to return to. You know that feeling when it all falls into place? Nothing better.
But here’s the thing: the thought of writing book 20 puts me into a coma. I feel I don’t have the stamina to write another novel. This may not be true but it’s what I feel now. Thinking about 400 pages or so gives me a stomach ache. I don’t want to do it even though I now know how to do it. It’s overwhelming. Yes, I know about one page at a time. Doesn’t help.
Strangely, there’s another side to this. Sometimes when I think about doing that book it feels exciting. But that feeling comes much less than the other.
Please don’t tell me to get another profession. I either write or I don’t. There are no alternatives for me because I don’t want any.
So here I am feeling I don’t want to write that book. But given who I am, that could change. And given who I am it will never change.

Twenty, you have to admit, is a nice round soft-sounding number, Sandra, much pleasanter on the ear than the grating nineteen. Love, Ed
Dear Sandra
I am a french reasder of your books since the first published in france. Sorry, i am not "english fluently". I hope that you will get the pleasure to write again. Have nice days with or without writing. Sincerely Catherine
We will wait b/c writing is what you do......so think, read, watch films, meander......and we will see you in print !
