Website: 8th anniversary

I turned sixty-nine today. The website turned eight. The last two years have been much more eventful for me than for the website, and even more so for this blog, which has continued to survive my benign neglect.

Website: 6th anniversary

Hello from America! Speaking on behalf of my blog, I must admit to another year of inactivity. Speaking for myself as a writer, though, it has been a marvelous year. I completed second drafts of two new novels, tentatively titled Writers on the Storm and August. The first is an attempt at a humorous take on writing, and the second is a somewhat more serious exploration of love in the twilight of life.

I’ve been distracted by my retirement and the preparations for moving to the US at the end of June, but my days are full of writing. I will have so much to show when publication time finally rolls around.

Website: 4th anniversary

It’s this website’s fourth anniversary. In the last year I published my first novel, Under Shōko’s Bed. I also wrote four new ones. With all that productivity, while I lost my way with this blog, I did not give up on it.

National Novel Writing Month 2021

This year I am writing a sequel. It’s fun to already know the characters and the world they inhabit.

Basing characters on friends

How does a real life friend feel when a character based on them does things they would never have done?

The idea: The Time Well

What I have written now is too much story for one book, but not enough for three.

I now have seven complete novels in my bookshelf. I am far behind on publishing. And what will I write next?
