Call me crazy, but in the middle of a disaster, I’ve been distracting myself with…disaster.

It’s been quite a week, thanks to the Great Plague of 2020.

I’m titling this article “Part One” in the sincere hope that I get to write Part Two. I don’t see why I won’t be able to, but you never know.

Doctor Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, is said to have remarked, in response to the craze for symbolic examination he’d unleashed, “Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar.”

A writer’s life can be a very confusing one. If you’d told me eight years ago, when I started writing my first novel, that the easiest thing about being a writer was writing the books, I’d have never believed you.
