January 2011 arrived with snow and ice. It was downright frigid. January seems to be the time of year I go into assessment and betterment mode. I take account of what is going on around me and then make adjustments where I see fit. It's like righting the course by the North Star while at sea . I take classes, do extensive research and read, read , read. This past January began like others until I sustained an injury.
It happened in late January. A pinch in my neck. Numbness in my fingers. It was painful but I pushed on without treatment. Stupid!
For the next few months, I labored through typing as I made gradual progress on the rewrite. Periods of Ice and Heat became my daily routine. Ibuprofen my fiendish friend. The pace was slow but I was making progress. My confidence was coming back and I set a release date for Stage One: July 1st.
February became March, which quickly became April, and then May arrived. It was in May that I suffered another setback. I woke up in agony as thunderbolts of pain shot through the back of my neck. I couldn't work to support myself and the rewrite ground to a halt.
To be continued tomorrow...
