"How to Decide What to Do" is the title of a recently-added page
of my “site” at The Well, located
at

https://people.well.com/user/edelsont/philosophy/01-intro.html

All that's there, so far, is the “Introduction”
… which is full of promises of what is to come.

I have unexpectedly developed a case of writer's block: I
haven't written even a line, yet, of the (or any) following
segment.

I do have a possible inkling as to why.  I was operating
under an assumption about what writing this “book” would
entail.  To wit, that it would require me to be completely
“open” about my inner, emotional life: to be prepared to
lay bare any relevant detail about my fears, desires, or any sort
of feelings.

And I didn't feel able (or, perhaps more accurately, willing)
to do that.  I still don't.

However, this doesn't necessarily mean that the project is
doomed.  I have a faint glimmering of an approach that would
allow me to write the thing, without doing the [emotional] Full
Monty to quite that degree.

It would not be exactly the same book, but I think maybe I could
accomplish my central goal.  I guess you — and I!
— will have to wait and see whether this works out.

I apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.
