Interference--

Pardon the football term.  But I am a fan, and it is that time of year.

However, this time, I am not talking about football in titling my blog "Interference."

I'm talking about life in general.

For some time now I've been working on edits for the re-release of my book STOLEN SON.  This award-winning novel was originally released by Champagne Books in electronic format only.

In a few months, it will be available from another publisher in paperback.  Getting a book ready for a debut, as all writers know, is a time-consuming task.  When life interferes with writing (or any other job we must do) things tend to get a little burdensome.

My personal life has been full of extra challenges in the last month which haven't done a thing to ease daily tension.

And now we're in the holiday season............

On the whole, my life is just like yours.  We all make plans, and life changes them.  A vision which seems crystal clear on Tuesday can be shattered by Thursday.

The trick to surviving these interferences with our plans is to adapt, change, be flexible.

Whether you are writing a book, reading a book or just trying to cope with holiday hecticness, I hope you can mitigate your "life interferences" by adapting to whatever comes your way.

If coping mechanisms don't work for you....well, there are an awful lot of good values on wine this time of year.
