Yes, I've been away from my computer a lot lately. I wish I could say it was warm and sunny while I was in Florida, still it's good to get away.

Writing: Sometimes getting away gives you a different perspective on your life. In writing, perspective --point of view character and the framework (the genre)-- drives the story. When the writing doesn't flow, you're telling the story from the wrong perspective. Because my book was not moving, I tried the story from another character's vantage point. I may have found a new protagonist. I'll let you know how it goes.
