No update is an update

Back when I was querying agents and getting mostly a lack of response I spoke to an agent at an event and bemoaned the fact that 8 out of the 10 agents I queried didn’t bother to respond. She then uttered what sounded like a Zen Koan – “No response is a response.”

I guess what I’m trying (very badly) to say is that in between injections the clockwork will stumble and grind to a halt and my levels of energy will be low and I’ll procrastinate more. I had an injection today, which will mean in a day or two I’ll have a level of energy which may help me stop procrastinating on a few things. But often the fact there is a gap longer than a month between blog updates is an update of sorts.

I’ll be back with a WAWAW ‘soon’ (for a given value of soon) – maybe even a wrap up of the year, not done one of them for a while due to <waves hand at the world>. The word ‘maybe’ is the key one in that last sentence.
