Writing begins

I started back to work, my real work, about ten days ago. Don't know exactly how it happened, or what changed, but something has been building now for several months. A great unrest within. What a treat to sit back down and start picking up the threads of The Alarai Chronicles saga. Originally I planned to drop back to volume four, read through it, move on to five, and then to six where I left off nearly a year ago and where the writing will begin again, but instead started reading five.

That was the right thing to do since a major shift in the flow of the story begins in book five. Or maybe I should say that a major plot theme ends with volume four, ripping open the veil of confidence in what is thought to be reality.

Everything is changing, and I am glad. Soon the real work of writing will begin, and true satisfaction.
