An Injury Update Regarding the Recent Silence
An Injury Update Regarding the Recent Silence
Dear Reader,
The last you heard from me via the email was on July 8th when “How to Become The Author as Omnivore” went live on bryanerye.com. It was around then, some 9 weeks ago, that I sustained a neck injury that severely curtailed the amount of reading, writing, and computer work that I was capable of doing.
I could do next to none.
Sadly, the neck injury was sustained in the process of exercising to heal my back (which I mentioned in the newsletter, "Let Us Speak of a GoFundMe"). It has only been in the last couple weeks that I have been able to read a book, and only in the last week that I have been able to type at speed for any respectable amount of time.
Thus, I’m still taking it easy on computer usage as there is no sense in re-injuring my neck when it seems nearly fully recovered. That said, I should be able to get back to writing – and sending out the Author’s Newsletter sometime Soon.
I extend my apologies that we have not been able to meet in the inbox for the last couple months. During each week of the injury I hoped that this, this would be the day that I was able to get back to writing.
Still, with the enforced break, I’ve had to time to reflect and I’ll be sharing my thoughts Soon via the Email.
Best regards,
Bryan

In which the author speaks of childhood beasts of war. A pack of books, bristling with arms... Let Us Speak of Playing with Wolves We begin with two words: “Wolf Packs” It was one of those phrases that captured my imagination as a child. Yes, I drew wolves and worgs growing up – they joined falcons, snakes, and sharks as the animals that fascinated me most. And my older sister even painted a little picture of a wolf howling at the moon that I still have (somewhere). But I’m not talking about...
In which the author speaks of childhood castles. Fortresses we shall raise... Let Us Speak of Building Blocks I built castles when I was younger. And so I dreamt of becoming an architect – for that was the profession that was allowed to “play with blocks” when you grow up. At first, I largely raised the same castle – over and over again – as I did not have a great variety of blocks to work with. And endless repetition to children is not the terrible burden that adults feel. Later on, when I...
In which the author addresses a particular jumping fox. "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog," by Lauren Alane Design. Let us Speak of the Quick Brown Fox “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” There are four things that interest me about the preceding sentence. First, I like foxes jumping over dogs, and so am pleased by the substance of the sentence. Second, the sentence is a pangram, meaning it contains all the letters of the English alphabet. I am interested in that...
