I guess I need to just treat this as a diary, which was my original intent. Not much of marketing tool, that's for sure.
Wrote another chapter of "Ruby Red and the Robot." This is a purposely light book, pretty much a young adult novel.
I've arrived at a very simple, straight-forward style. I think there is nothing wrong with this--in my rewrites I often want to add more, but I'm wondering if that is necessary. Clear up some of the continuity problems but leave the writing mostly alone.
Or maybe I'm just lazy. I do know I enjoy the inventing, the telling myself a story.
I'm not feeling any urgency, and I think the seriousness of purpose I had those few few years probably propelled my writing. Now...I'm just enjoying it, dabbling in it to some extent, so the pace has really slowed down.
I have books lined up for publication, so it's not like it's a problem.

If it moves the story forward -- leave it in. Else -- nix it.
Your recent work has great momentum. Real scrum forward stuff: sprint, tussle, breakout and repeat. So, if you can keep that mode rolling, I think you'll win with it.
