Picking Up the Threads My husband came home from hospital last week. He is still on heavy medication and convalescence, when it comes, will take a long time. But in the meantime, I no longer have to make the hour-long round trip to the hospital every day so, with the time regained I am starting to pick up the threads of my historical writing. As a result, the first chapter of The Return of the Soldier now exists as a discrete file on my computer and is nearly 5,000 words long. It has a central argument, logical connections between points, and a clear direction towards the 2,000 or so words I still need to write about personal experiences of living in interwar housing. http://armsandthemedicalman.com/2026/04/21/picking-up-the-threads/
