Getting Things Back on Track · 9:57pm Feb 17th, 2016

Wow after an annoyingly long writing delay I've finally managed to get the 7th chapter posted for Mac's Tale II: The Blood of Apples.

I can't believe that I've been working on this relatively short piece for more than two years. I mean how can a story that seems to haunt a writer's dreams be so hard to actually get out in words?

Actually, very. To paraphrase a line from George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, 'Life is awkward and full of pitfalls'. Having just crawled out of yet another one in the last six months I'm finally feeling a bit better about things. Though not fully the best, I'm still stuck in a situation where I have to rely on others I don't necessarily trust. (Political Bureaucrats)

So the best thing I can do is to take things one day at a time and make the best of things.

Oh, and write more I sincerely hope. It's really quite therapeutic.
