Gone Writing, be back soon

Oct 11, 2005

I feel like I should just hang a sign on the blog, “Gone Writing, be back soon.” I think until the book is done, that the blog will be spotty, at best. Sorry. I’ll say that for me the Halloween season is the beginning of the holiday season. I find as the holiday gets closer, I am thinking more about my grandmother, who I lost this year. For better or worse, she was all I had, and she raised me. So many issues never resolved between us. I feel haunted. And yes, I am well aware of the traditions of Halloween and that it is one of the times of year when the veil between the living and dead is thinnest. She’s not a ghost, but some memories have the power to haunt the mind and body just as surely as ‘ghosts’ can haunt a house.
