New Subject Matter

For the last five years or so, the main theme in my stories was characters starting their lives over at midlife. New home. New job. New love (maybe). New something – or, more often, new everything.

I think I'm done with that. I beat that horse pretty good and dead before I managed to follow my own advice and start my own life over.

Now my new theme is: now what?

It isn't highly original, but it's what I've got .

I've struggled over writing "what I know" when it turns out that what I'm writing is "what I need to learn right now."
