I’ve been awake for three hours now after sleeping less than three hours. (Go figure!) Don’t ask me why I’m still awake. I know I’m going to suffer for it later. I can already feel the effects of my lack of sleep. However, this is not a new or spontaneous phenomenon.

It has grown worse over recent months leading up to this moment. I can’t say I’m surprised. So here I am.

I have been chasing the phrase “The End” for too long now. Book four is behind schedule. A couple of other projects are behind schedule. It cannot be helped in the present time.

Life is an endless rollercoaster. Right now, I’m stuck in several curves and loops at a rapid pace. It is a struggle to keep up. I’ll keep doing my best.

I want to finish book four rather soon, but I can only hope to have it ready by summer. Then I will try to clear my plate a little further before charging into new Adventures of Pipsqueak and Bob and a few thrillers.

It’s time to get back to writing.
