A note to my friends

Listen! I've been really busy with trying to figure out my life and having a herniated disk in my neck and a rotator cuff that needs an operation and a problem with my wrist, which is not carpal tunnel, that nobody can figure out.
On top of that I came to a realization. This novel has been writing itself. Every word. As I progressed I would come up with great ideas while I wasn't typing and those were the periods when I wouldn't write a word. As a matter of fact I have the rest of the novel all planned out, including the ending, inside my head. This is not good. The novel doesn't like me adding my own ideas. The novel enjoys writing itself and absolutely hates my ideas. Now that I have come to this conclusion I will begin letting the story unfold to me, just as it unfolds to you. I will do this between surgeries and personal unpheaval. I appreciate you looking in on me from time to time. Love, Joe
