So last weekend after vowing to write an op-ed piece every week this year, I composed the first of the series. It exists, honest! I submitted it to a site that I've got a lot of respect for. There was some correspondence about it but the last was a few days ago. There hasn't been any word since and it hasn't been published.
I'm going to chalk it up as still being momentum forward. It has been more than two years since I wrote like this so I'm a bit out of practice. What I'm going through now is "therapy" as a writer. When Dad SEVERELY injured his hand in a farming accident forty years ago this coming fall, it was months before he was in any shape to even hold a pen. I've been injured too, in a fashion. What did I expect, that I would be published again after not exercising that particular region of my gray matter?
I'm going to give the site a few more days, and if they don't publish it then I'll post it here. Meanwhile there are two ideas for essays that I have in mind. I'm going to work on those and send them out. And then, we'll see what happens.
