Hello again

 Hello there.

Yes, I am still alive. Given that we are in the midst of a global pandemic I thought it might be time that I said that.

I don't have a story to post right now, but the good news is that I have been doing a whole lot more writing than I did last year. I've been bouncing from story to story for the most part, adding a bit to this one or that one. I did manage to finish another draft of the story that I tentatively called "new dad" and nearly doubled the length of it. I'd been revising it off and on for the last couple years and was never really satisfied with the ending. I wrote several different endings, but the one I liked the best was kind of a cliff hanger and I didn't want to end the story that way. I finally decided to explore that ending and see where it led me and the answer was an additional 22,000 words.
