Whatever Happened to My Daily Blogging

What happened to my daily blogging?  Writer's block?  Writer's slump? 
Or is it because I've been dealing with a difficult situation that I can't blog about at this time because someone else is involved?
I suspect that it is all of the above.
I've also been neglecting my fan fiction... I have added a few lines to several of the stories I'm working on, and jotted down a
few ideas, but it's been a long time since I've published a new story or chapter.

Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
