See You in December, Or Lose You to an Autumn Love
Mark Crislip
I wrote my first novel, Skeptics in the Pub: The Cholera (available fall of 2022 from Biting Duck Press), during National Novel Writing Month.
Since then I have been working on the second novel (Skeptics in the Pub: Electric Boogaloo, no, wait, it is Skeptics in the Pub: Alien Invasion) in an at best desultory fashion. There is little time between work, life, and my scaled back blogging and podcasting.
Getting old sucks in many ways, but the loss of mental concentration and stamina might be the worst of it. I just can't focus like I used to.
So I am going to put my residual multimedia empire on hold for a month and try to write 1600 words a day for the first draft of Electric Boogaloo. It worked last time.
