@CynthiaDagnal-Myron Thank you so much for getting in touch! The stroke is now four-plus years ago... I'm completely recovered now, though my speech was affected (reading aloud is a challenge!) and I feel like my creative brain took a hit - unfortunate when your two biggest passion are writing music and writing stories! I'm trying to get back into my creative outlets, but it's been a long process with its share of struggles.
Just want to say I've always enjoyed your stories, and "Seoul Man" is no exception! You have a really unique and special voice as a writer that stands out from the rest.
I've actually completed my outline to "Unpredictably Yours" (the title needs some work!), which I've temporarily taken offline. I've made several revisions to the four chapters I'd previously published... but anytime I try to write new material, I really struggle. Still, I haven't given up, even after four years, and I still really want to see this story through to completion! I just have to let go of the anxiety and mental blocks...
As far as the separation (now close to a divorce), it was a long time in coming. It's been a drawn-out process, that's for sure! I hope you're doing well.
Take care,
James
