As I reactivate this blog--started so long ago, then abandoned as the hectic demands of work and life interferred with all my best intentions as well as a major move from Boca Raton to Apollo Beach--I've just reposted below what I'd written in what now seems another lifetime. And the last conversation between two Sun City widows overheard in a Borders coffeeshop is now coming back to haunt me.
Because thirteen weeks ago, I, too, became a widow.
So this blog is now about more than just my efforts to complete a novel; it's also about my struggle to make it through each day and each week without my husband. Something I hadn't expected to happen for many years, if at all. And, more than ever, I'm determined to finish my novel, already partially complete. And another one that is so clear to me that I wake up with the characters carrying on conversations. So bear with me as I filter through the changes and anguish of my life through the posts in this blog.

About Me
- Sally
- As Sally Fairchild, I'm an author who loves to write about larger than life characters and situations. I usually choose topics and settings that I know nothing about, but an intrigued by the subject and want to learn more about it. My learning process is part of the excitement of writing the novel; sharing the information that fascinates me with readers. For instance, my first book began with a notice about an arena polo game scheduled for the Orange Bowl. I went and fell in love with the excitement of the game and wonderfully charismatic players. The book I'm currently working has a secondary character who is the captain of a high-goal polo team.
