It has been a long time since my last post. Most of my time has been spent with this year\u2019s NaNoWriMo project. I had decided to rewrite the third volume of my autobiography. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have changed it from a first person rendition to the third person as was done with the first two volumes. Of course, that meant using the pseudonym Benjamin as was the case for those first two books. Now, it feels like the book belongs with the other two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the bulk of that writing is done. It will be completely rewritten in the near future, leaving me a heavy rewrite and editing task. <\/p>\n\n\n

This will be my focus for the months ahead when we return to Puerto Morelos for three months. The hardest part is the editing – what to add, what to remove. Why is it hard? Well, it is all about the focused revisiting of the shadows. On another note, no poetry project is planned for Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas decorations are up in the house, with a few set outside in front of our picture window, just as is done every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time back since Spain has been almost anticlimactic. Other than writing, I have been finding myself stressed. Likely it has been due to the content of the book which has been stressful to write. Like the image above, I have resorted to coping strategies. Why I would go out into the countryside for such an image is beyond me. There was no chance that I would have been seen because of the location. I am craving sunshine and warmth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
