https://authorchristopherdschmitz.wordpress.com/2017/01/09/state-of-writing-40

Official Blog of Author Christopher D Schmitz. January 9, 2017. January 9, 2017. My wife got a puppy like 8 days ago. I live in a dog toilet, now. But that’s ok. This too shall pass. I didn’t write any fiction this week, but I wrote like 5 blogs that I scheduled ahead of time and networked with some other authors online. Planning for more of the same. Still fleshing out my goals for 2017 and deciding which major bullet point is next on my to-do list. Posted in state of writing. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

The Black Moment is a descent into darkness physical, emotional, mental, psychological or spiritual, or even all of those. My daughter is a big-time reader.
