Following this post will be a PD novel, published serially, I wrote several years ago. I won't bore you with the details, but it got bogged down in the not-getting-published process. There are parts I should rewrite--the first 30 or so pages should be trashed and it needs a more cohesive plot--but I am not the same lawyer or the same person who started this novel eight ago. The novel I would write now would be angrier and more bitter and not necessarily better. But! I nevertheless think it has value in its current form: it portrays a journey that many of us take, and will at least entertain you.
I will publish the novel serially, a couple of chapters every Friday, with a bigger chunk to start out. And now to disclaim: The following novel is a work of fiction. Any apparent similarity to real persons or situations is not intended by the author and is either a coincidence or the product of your own troubled imagination. In other words, this is all made-up stuff, and any stuff you think is real isn't, except in the way that totally made-up stuff can reveal a deeper truth.
And of course, the author retains the copyright to all materials written by her and published on this blog.

I am extremely excited that you're back - can't wait to read the novel.
Me too, my friend, me too.
Welcome back. I've missed you.
Thank you, Jeff. I've missed me too.
Sweet sweet Carol. I have your bumper stickers on my wall and your cards in my drawer. I've sent sysiphus on to another friend who needed it more than me. I haven't written in months either and just came back today. It's hard when your heart is broken, isn't it? Welcome back. Welcome back.
Thank you, Mirriam, for noticing my post! I've been in a bit of a bubble for a while, and haven't read any blogs--PD, legal, or otherwise--so I feel a bit guilty that you're noticing me, when I haven't been noticing anything. But thank you anyway. The heart break has mended; but I'm not sure about my broken spirit. But look! Here I am, and here you are--good things must be in the works!
Welcome back. I was worried. I thought perhaps you had burned out or gotten the world's longest contempt sentence. I will tell everyone I know that there is something to be read in the world,
Dang, Defpublic, that is awfully nice of you to say. Of course there are many many better things to read in this world--so many, in fact, that one sometimes thinks, Why bother? But I couldn't find my world or our stories depicted anywhere (except the lovely blogs), so I tried. I didn't necessarily nail it, but maybe occasionally approached the general vicinity.
What happened to me is another story, but that one's going to have to wait a bit.
