Oy, my aching kidneys! Life hit me with a cheap shot and I’ve been reeling from it for a while now.
First of all, in case you aren’t related to me and therefore weren’t at the Housewarming party for the new house we held back in August:
I am officially a Married Man!
That’s right, my fiancée and I finally got off our asses and signed the papers. I’ll see about giving you all the full story soon; it’s charming and amusing.
But anyway, long story short: The new Wifey’s been sick, I’ve been hammered at the work and I’m struggling to catch up, I’ve been doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work for the Writer’s Chatroom, and I’ve been writing legit manuscripts insanely all month.
That’s the main reason you haven’t heard much of me this whole month (or at all, really; sorry) aside from a bit on Facebook and Twitter. The bad news is, as I said, I haven’t given you a whole lot of product here on the site lately; for that I apologize. The good news is that, combined in the three stories I’m currently spreading my time on, I’ve written over fifty thousand words in the month of December. That’s almost an entire novel worth of writing…except of course it’s spread among a novel I’d just started (which has 40,000 of the 50,000+), and the rest were thrown onto less-full works.
I hope to be getting back into the swing of things. I usually catch up to things on Holidays, but Thanksgiving was spent normally with family. Christmas will be spent working, but with very little to do actually do at work, so I should be able to catch up a bit then.
Thanks for your continued support and readership!
