It's Sunday Morning and I'm Staring at the Screens

Good Morning,

It's Sunday Morning and I'm staring at the screens, trying to figure out what to write. I rushed my Tychos into a battle. Now I'm trying to figure out how to extract them. What was the goal of mission? Why did they lash out and strike this planet? Who's next? And what's going to happen when the rest of the Star Trader Galaxy finds out what they are up to.

On the cancer front, the docs have stopped the chemo for now. The chemo was attacking my kidneys. At the same time it was not being as effective as they thought. So I'm struggling to build up my strength, immunity and all that for May 22, when I will have surgery to scrape and remove my left pleural lining and rebuild part of my diaphragm. It's a six hour surgery and I'll probably be in the hospital for a couple of weeks to recover. And I'll have a wicked scar along my left side.

I wonder how much weight I'll lose during this process. Twenty pounds or so would be nice.

Meanwhile, I think I've figured out what to do. May have to do a bit of editing and rewriting.

So, as always, thanks for reading!

Fighting Cancer: Mesothelioma

I just finished my second round of Chemo for the Mesothelioma. It wasn't as bad as the first one, but it has tired me out. And thus slowed down my writing.

Hah, I've been sitting here looking at the same page all day!

In the meantime, my quest to step up the pace and write in more action and increase the tension between the Tychos is going pretty good.. The Tychos have discovered where some of their enemies have been hiding and are starting to take action.

There's more stuff going on, but I don't want to give up too much. The Horath have started their rampage across the Star Trader Galaxy and it's about to blow things up. The question is whether or not the Tychos will join with the Trade in an alliance with the Inner Worlds and the Outer Worlds, now that they know who the enemies are.

Then there's that old saying about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer...  Maybe being in an alliance would help the Tychos.

Now all I have to do is weave all that together. I've got a couple of weeks before my next chemo. Hopefully I can make some progress. In the meantime,

Thanks for reading!
