And I'm Still Here...

It's been so long since I've posted here. It isn't even that I haven't worked on the book, it's that I've had so many other things going on. Now I look over the past posts and am embarrased by typos, grammatical errors, and just plain silliness. Oh well, I did warn that this wouldn't be finished draft material. Actually, I've seen worse on finished products, so I guess I shouldn't worry about it over much.

So here I am on my fifth month of pregnancy and I'm getting that little creative tickle again. There are lots of holes and lots of problems with my work and I really want to spend several hours a day getting them worked out. I've rewritten whole sections and am beginning to think all I'll ever do with the work is rewrite, scribble, and leave it to sit. But that's ok. I'm not doing this for money. In fact, I suggested to Paul that I ought to finish it and publish a chapter at a time right here, to be read for free by our millions of followers . He thought I might be losing my mind. He has more faith in the work than I do, you see. He thinks it's very good, worth publishing, and worth buying. It's good to have that kind of support at your back :-).

mid-year update

The Arby's next door does have wi-fi. Accordingly, I've played lots of WoW over lunches.

I've set it aside to simmer, but have still continued to edit now and then. The story has potential, but was generated on the spur of a moment as something new for NaNo, and I fluffed it a lot. Honestly, it's better as a novella, or a fairly long "short story" where less development is appropriate. I'm debating the work of fully fleshing it out, as I have so many other things I'd rather be writing. I want to get back to the Federal Dominion in which most of my flights of fancy take place.
