Here we are already halfway through October, and I haven't posted a thing since August 29th. Part of my lapse was being out with a cold for 9 days, then needing to get out of the condo to get some badly needed exercise. Well, now I'm back, within a day or so of  having my "Seiji" novel finished (1st draft), then on to editing it and sending it off to a publisher. When that is done, I think I'll take my first month off from writing in about three years. I should; I have plenty of reading to do and sights to see around this big city of ours before the winter snows set in.

Then what's on my writing agenda? A novel about Mexico City in the early-mid 1970s when I lived there for a time and fell head-over-heels in love with the place. Sights, sounds, smells, music, dance, haunted houses -- you name it, I encountered it somehow. When I later met a guy in Minneapolis who had been born and raised there, he asked me how many years I'd lived in Mexico City, and was shocked when I told him it was something less than three months. He didn't think it was possible to jam so much into under 90 days, but somehow I did it, managing to always be on the move somewhere. Should be a ball writing it.

All for now. Back with more sometime next month.
