Mrs. Mitty Lives...

And still rambles. ;)

So, hello out there, if anyone still remembers me! I still remember you, my small band of readers, and have been keeping up on reading your blogs, for those still writing them.

I have been off on a complicated and uh, interesting journey through RL and FL (that'd be real life and fantasy life).

First, the less complicated FL: I discovered MMORPGs. That is 'massively multiplayer online role-playing games', like World of Warcraft and Aion, for the uninitiated. They are also massively time-sucking and can be very addictive, if you tend to have that kind of personality. (Just ask your teenage kids; lots of them play MMOs.)

Now as to the RL: It's complicated. Two years ago, I left a marriage of almost 30 years. I am not going into the whys and wherefores, but suffice it to say we are still legally wed but living apart, and it was a reasonably amicable parting. I think it would be safe to say the experience is akin to having your brain moved from your head to your shoulder, and having to rewire your circuits to make all your parts work properly again. Or something.

Anyway, I'm back to writing. At least a little. At least working up to looking at my novels in progress.

For now though, my focus will be on non-fiction, trying to get back into print with articles, and on blogging. The day job is more a labor of love than lucrative, so rather than look for a second job (which could be a fantasy anyway, with 15% unemployment here) I am aiming for supplemental income from writing and a couple of other freelance ideas I have floating around. Wish me luck.

I hope you all are doing well in life and with your writing. Looking forward to catching up with you all!
