Papaver

Due to the wonderful Norovirus deciding to visit me for two weeks, and then lots of 'life' situations figuring it would be great to make several unscheduled appearances, I am horribly behind in my plans.  Such is Life, The Universe, and Everything.

Currently, Papaver is snowed in.

Snowed in should mean I'm working.

Euphoria will be published in March.  Meanwhile the short story compilation is coming along.

The initial plan was to have the website and the blog up and running before the novel came out.  The short story collection was also supposed to be prior to the novel.  Best laid plans often go down the sewer though, and what we then need to do is adapt to what is, not what was.

What is, is that I'm about to release this little blog to the wider world.

What is, is how we deal with the cards we're given.  Sometimes it's best to just go with the flow when things don't quite pan out the way we'd like.

I had a few things happen the last few weeks which bring home the futility of thinking we can plan, and that those plans will work out.

Those hell weeks, days, months, but hopefully not years, teach a lot if we pay attention.  There are some things I'd prefer not to have happened in the last few weeks, but those things make me understand what's really important and what isn't.

So here is Papaver, here is this little blog.

I hope I can entertain you, but if not, I'll still live.
