When I posted my last entry, it never occurred to me that so much time would pass before I updated these pages. Not a single word, though I did keep creatively active and sold a story to an anthology published by Queer Sci Fi. Still, between death on a global scale, an attempted coup of the federal government, and needless war, there’s been nothing in my own experience that compares. Any successes or setbacks in my own life are petty in light of what others have endured. Millions are dead. Faith in our leadership (one party in particular) has been shattered. My personal inconveniences amount to very little. So I’ll neither share nor complain, and focus on the future instead with hope and determination. It’s up to us. We cannot do otherwise.
