Maurice WA Johnson: Merry Christmas, and the happiest of New Years to all my friends here. I wish you all you wish yourselves, plus the teeniest bit more. (Don't be too greedy.)


Maurice WA Johnson: Just finished watching the news, and I guess my mood has soured.

At a time when we looked to the world's politicians for inspirational and courageous leadership, we find that all we've got is the same old bunch of feckless losers.

If the leaders can't lead, what use are they?

Time, perhaps, we found an alternative.

Any suggestions?


Maurice WA Johnson: Well, I finished, and according to NaNoWriMo I managed to produce 50,100 words for the fantasy novel 'Bear Bait'. Thank you to all my friends and fans who took time to review individual chapters. Is there anyone out there with the stamina to comment on the novel as a whole?


Maurice WA Johnson: Hi folks, spending all my free time on the 'write a novel in 30 days' challenge. Currently running 2,000 words behind schedule with 5 days remaining.

Back to poetry and reviewing on the 1st, I promise.
