I'm boring myself

The trouble with writing ghost stories is that it's so difficult to set up the slow build-up of the paranormal event without boring myself to death.

Catherine's Wheel has taken a bit of a hiatus while I deal with some health issues and try to figure out this new character who just appeared in a Berlin doorway in Chapter Two. Otherwise, I have a few short stories in the works; hence the comment, above.

I keep hoping that I'll develop more patience over time, but it hasn't happened yet. Patience with the writing, patience with myself... these are things that I desperately need, and can't seem to master. It's actually become something of a private joke. Every tarot reading I've ever gotten on the subject of my writing has coaxed me to be patient. I'm trying.
