I’m kind of a private guy, so I didn’t really want to write
this. The only reason I’m doing so now is because I feel I owe you all an
explanation; and I can’t do so without letting you into my personal life. Anam, although complete, won’t be
available by the end of February. It should be ready by the end of March, most
likely sooner, but for now I’m sticking with end of March.
Now, before you start the hate mail and get too distraught,
let me throw myself on your mercy and understanding. I was well on my way to
having Anam done and out before
February, maybe even by the end of January. As I was driving down to the library
to finish Anam during the first week
in January, I was in a serious auto accident. No, it wasn’t my fault, thank
goodness! You were wondering, weren’t you? However, it was my last day of
writing before I started editing. I broke some stuff and lost the use of my left
arm. I was unable to move it or really type for a few weeks. A month later, a
nephew, who was just a few years younger than me, passed away. We lived
together for much of our young lives. During that time, we were really more
like brothers. It’s a very sobering experience to watch life support be pulled
and see someone slip into the afterlife. I didn’t feel like writing during that
rough week.
Up until a few days ago, there was still hope I’d make it.
I’m very close, but there is still some polishing to do. And I want to get it
as good as I can. So, I’m bumping it back. I hope you understand.
Best wishes,
Jared
