In the Writer's Cave

Since November 2008, I've been working on my next book, and now it is finally nearing completion, which means that it will still take another few months until I am ready to take it out into the world. My blog of February 2009 described the basic contours of this forthcoming work. Yet at this point, rather than saying more, I want to keep it under wraps until it is complete. So this blog is a kind of placeholder to explain why I have been blogging so infrequently in the past few months. It really does feel like I'm in a cave, so I thought this image would be appropriate. Hope to be in contact with you all when I resurface.
