AN INTERESTING CREATURE!

The reason for blogging about this now is to make an observation about how writing is influenced by randomly occuring events. I have always thought that planning a career is a thankless task. Looking back, nearly all the most important things that shaped my career happened in totally unplanned ways. It seems writing is a little like that too. Some of the major events in WITHOUT TRACE were inspired by quite unexpected and unconnected events. This is already happening in the third volume.
