What excuses can I use? I've been incredibly busy these past several months with work, trying to upkeep on things due to the weather, and trying to stay as active as possible. There's been a lot of good times, and an overwhelming number of bad things have happened. Whet is most important however is that I have always popped back up like a bobber in the water. With inkling of spring finally noticeable in the air, things I'm sure will improve.
Not a lot has recently been going on on the writing front. I have to say I've been bad and lousy in that regard. Still looking for a potential publisher for my finished science fiction novel, "Orphans of War". If I don't hear anything by June, I'm going to take the big leap and publish it myself. I have most recently been working on re-editing "Legends and Destiny: Shonga" for re-publication. Again, I'll try and shop for a publisher with that one, but because that's my baby, I might publish it myself.
Debating whether or not to drop money and try (again) to go to RocCon. Last year I ended up not going because of lack of funds. While I have a job this time around, I also have added expense and still no surplus of cash to play around with. We shall see!
Another idea in the works is a children's book, and I've been hankering to use bright pen inks and water colors to illustrate it. Mind you, I have no visual art skills whatsoever, but I still feel the need to give it a shot. We'll see!
And that's it for now, because now I need to get ready for my better paying job!
