Hello, readers. As you may or may not be aware, essays are lagging a little behind on their posting schedule. This is due to the fact that I have spent the past two weeks writing and polishing what is undeniably the best short story I have written to this point; now that it is finished, I am free to send it out to magazines, and free to get back to work on this essay.

So: no, there wasn’t a new essay last Friday, and there might not be one this Friday, either. But, never fear. It’s for a good cause, and the post will be up before you know it. If you’re really eager to read some of my writing, though, try buying your copy of The Lightning Stenography Device, available for $7.99 and free through Kindle Unlimited.

Yes, you just read a commercial nested in this apology. No, I won’t apologize for that. Have fun, be safe, and check sometime between this Friday and next.
