November

I remember being informed by someone, eons ago, that when it comes to blogging, one should never qualify one’s posts with an apology. No one cares if there’s been a delay in posting, let alone have probably noticed a delay to begin with. The blog will progress when it progresses. To laboriously apologize for prolonged silences between posts is a ridiculous display of narcicistic presumptuousness.

Evidently, this was advice I didn’t really take to heart, as I seem to routinely stammer out apologies for perceived tardiness in regular activity here.

The bottom line, I guess, is that I feel I’m being remiss in my purely fictioinal obligation to continue composing Flaming Pablum.

I’ve indeed started a few longer pieces in the past couple of weeks, but have either been forced to abaondon them prior to fruition or lost the momentum. The truth is that work is busier than usual, of late, with several demanding projects on the burner. Secondly, my son is currently unspooling the sticky skein of red tape that is the high school application-&-entrance-exam process. As such, stress levels are in the red.

When life calms down, I’ll have more stuff up here. Until then,.... go enjoy your Autumn.
