The month of December is especially challenging because i play three roles in the Fairbanks Drama Association’s production of Ken Ludwig’s Twas the Night Before Christmas.I’ll be returning to teaching in January 2025. That commitment definitely changes the unlimited free time I’ve had to work on my book manuscript, novel manuscript, two blogs and the Hazing Deaths database. In addition, my goal
is to turn out six creative nonfiction essays per year. One essay project is a memoir on a savage attack on me with a baseball bat at Cheektowaga Town Park by a street hoodlum.. Unfortunately, that man died suddenly in 2000 at Bradenton, Florida, so I cannot interview him. I’m also writing about multiple disgraced priests at Buffalo’s Diocesan Preparatory seminary, again as a memoir.
I go back today to setting my cell phone alarm to put aside very detailed and specific times for reading, study, exercise, book manuscript writing, and essay writing, while still putting valuable time into Alaska travel, exercise and family.
