I suddenly got three e-mails overnight from people concerned that I wasn't on the forum as much I have been, or much at all lately.
Not sure why all three in one night - But thanks.
Yes, I've been sick. It's a pain - literally, but it happens, more and more it seems, as one gets old (many here will understand, all too well).
I seem to be on the mend, though.
But that is only one reason why I haven't been and won't be on the forum as much for a while.
My books have me "bandwidthed out." I am trying to get the second 'Streets book done and published by the end of the month. Probably going to by the first week of November the way it is going: its half again as thick as the first and much more intricate. A lot of work. A lot of full tiring work.
And I am spending a lot of time (my wife says obsessed) with a third book: I am writing a biography of Veranda Turbine - those who follow my posts who know who she is: it will be a paperback sized book of about 250 pages and sell for about what paperbacks that size sell for. My wife says its a pretty good read (I expect to sell, oh, at least five copies . . .). I have never had as much much fun with any project in my life, it is like a giant puzzle in a dozen dimensions at once: making up all the details of her life and checking to make sure they are consist with true facts, eaving her into history and what really happened (where was she on Pearl harbor Day, etc.), writing about all the movies she starred in (many, many of which, like GG1-G.I., where on trains - she even starred in one movie that took place on the Train of Tomorrow: Rough Track, a heist movie with Richard Widmark!). It is an intoxicating and fun project and I am spending too much time on it.
Anyway, I will try to be on the forum more, but I gotta get these books done . . .
Just kidding. I wish you well. Get more sleep. It helps cure a lot of ailments.
