One of the hazards of being a serialists is that the mood changes that seem to be part and parcel to being a writer tend to have a stronger effect than when simply writing a novel. Waiting for the muse to visit, for instance, is a lot easier to do when no one will notice how our work stops and starts sporadically. And a crises of faith can be devastating to a serial where to a book it may mean putting it away for a few years, then pulling it back out when faith is restored. Losing one’s faith in humanity, in particular, can have far reaching impact on a writer’s life.
It is such a crisis that has overtaken Altonian. I am very sad to see a great serial end so abruptly, and on such a harsh note. Likewise, I’m sad to see a good writer leave the fold, particularly in this way. My sympathies, Altonian. At least you are still writing.
