I, um, forgot. See, I’m late on a deadline for an anthology submission, and I’ve got two interviews to write up in support of next month’s release of Final Target, and I retreated down the rabbit hole that is The World of John, where there is no light, no sound.
I even checked TKZ this morning, and finding yesterday’s post still up, I wondered if someone had dropped the ball. Didn’t occur to me that I was the fumbler until I got an email from a TKZ colleague asking if this was, in fact, my day to post. See, the thing is, in a shared blog like this, I guess we’re all on the feather edge of, “Oh, shit, did I forget?” so when something goes wrong, we instinctively worry that we’re at fault. With the occasional exception, it seems, of the person who actually is at fault.
So, this one’s all on me. Sorry, folks. Now, back down the rabbit hole . . .
Been there, done that. Even though I have alerts on my iPhone that my post is coming up, I’ve also fumbled TKZ ball. When you’re deep in that writing zone, it happens. Fifty lashes with a wet semi-colon… 🙂
Lol, we have all been there, John! Thanks for being a regular and valued contributor in our motley crew!
Ha!
But this is still a great post. You’re relatable to your readers, and that’s an important skill to demonstrate. Go! Write!
I’ll second (or fourth?) the above~ relatable to say the least~ good luck with your juggling act~ but steer clear of chainsaws~
🙂

You do know that WordPress lets you schedule posts in advance, right? I try to get a whole week’s worth up at once. Just sayin’
Good grief John. I didn’t know. I forgot to read your post yesterday
