For the time being, the topic of my current 'work in progress' must remain secret, except that it
is a memoir. It must remain that way for a year or three so as not to rattle my own cage.
Why does a writer choose to write about a particular topic? First, even though my current health
cons me into believing I've got ten good years left, the pessimistic side of my nature tells me
I shouldn't procrastinate in writing a tale that only I can write. What the heck, if I complete
it, I still have the option of having it published, if ever, postumously.
Second, this tale has a beneficial purpose. A certain percentage of our population, young and old
alike, will find solace or useful warning in its pages.
So now I'm finishing up the umpity-umpth draft of the manuscript suitable for submission to agents,
adding bits and pieces as memory releases them. Perhaps it will see publication around 2010.
Till then, let's keep it a secret.
