Perhaps it’s an indication of my diligence that I’ve not posted a diary entry for a while. Despite being dragged down by a weighty return of my fibromyalgia (the change of seasons often ‘does me in’), I’ve taken advantage of the need to rest while keeping my fingers moving.<\/p>\n

It’s just like me to write four books at once, but so far the balancing act is working out well. One book is a prequel to another book. The third book is a cousin to the first two, and the fourth is a non-fiction elaboration on my recent presentations in Canton and Branson. Many of you have asked me to expand on this talk, so it’s been a delight to do so in a book, tentatively titled ‘Molecular Babylon’.<\/p>\n

The word count when writing four books rises quickly, and I’m particularly delighted that the count on the non-fiction work is coming along so well. Non-fiction is relatively new to me, having written only the two chapters included with Tom Horn’s last two books, Pandemonium’s Engine<\/em> and God’s Ghostbusters.<\/em> Non-fiction requires citation whenever I quote or depend upon an outside source, which adds to the labor. However, the subject matter is near and dear to my heart and to my brain–genetics and posthumanity.<\/p>\n

To all my WriMo colleagues: I pray that your writing is going well and that you’re loving the challenge! See you at the finish line!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
