Frozen

“Leah dives forward under the descending claws and then surges up to slice open the creature’s belly. Before her extended nails can reach the soft underside she …”

What happens? Well, she freezes. Not really but it seems like that to me. I can still see her next moves, and the story is laid out in front of me, but the words won’t come. Five weeks ago my doctor prescribed a different medication to try and reduce my ongoing migraines. The drug works, and for the first time in twenty-five years, I have a month without a headache. I also understand why people go off their medications. My brain was fuzzy; it couldn’t connect the dots. Ideas and words faded the more I thought about them, and my mind wandered purposelessly from one thing to another. I’ve opened and closed my e-mail time and time again but couldn’t write anything.

In the end, I asked the doctor to change the medication. Today is the first day I’ve been able to write without giving up in frustration. I also have my first headache this month. I’m not sure what this means regarding Book 5 and when it will be out, but I feel like I am me for the first time in five weeks.

I’m sharing because I want those who have been waiting to know what the hold-up is. This post is the first thing I’ve created in a month. As soon as it goes live, I’ll be working on Leah extracting herself from this dilemma and moving forward.

Thank you for your interest,
Tony
