Month: October 2019

Another year has rolled around. Like a big slinky cat. It snuck up on me while I wasn’t looking. Completely forgot that it was stalking me.

Well now here it is.

Fortunately I had been thinking from time to time about different ideas for NanoWriMo this year. So, it didn’t catch me completely off guard. I mean I was intending to write a novel anyway.

So, I picked one that I was chomping at the bit to do, and entered the info into Nano/’s watchamakallit.

Now it’s official. I’m in for this year.

You may be wondering what happened to the lovely novel that I supposedly finished for last year’s Nano.

The answer will be in a future blog post. I don’t want to go off on tangents. Though I have written about what’s up with the Neptune Novel elsewhere. I can’t remember what I said here.

Doesn’t matter. Here’s the important part…

I have prepped Nano for the new novel. And I will post here as it comes along to let you know how it’s going. In a future post I will update you about the space one from last year, and I have a series of short stories coming out soon. I’ll drop a few breadcrumbs here as those unfold.

In the meantime, lots of holidays coming up. Today is Halloween! Happy Halloween!

That’s it for now, kiddies.

This paragraph is recently added to explain this post. This post was to have been published in August. It wasn’t. I forgot it existed. I just found it laying around in my drafts. So, here it is. Hope you like it. Though if you ignore it and just move on to the latest post, that would be ok too.

I never ask a man what his business is, for it never interests me. What I ask him about are his thoughts and dreams.

I have been far away for a while. You may wonder why? I have been writing. And learning more about writing.

I have two flash stories floating around now. As well as the novella. And the Neptune novel is almost finished.

I am in the process of writing another flash Sci-Fi story. And juggling three short stories.

So, by the end of the month, you could reasonably expect my putting out two new flash, three shorts, and the damned space novel. [Which has nothing to do with Uranus, by the way. Even though a while back I posted a piece entitled “Uranus Update”. It’s actually set around Neptune. (And other parts of the solar system. But it Starts off at Neptune. No Uranus involved! just sayin’)]

The novel has taken an interesting turn and has expanded far beyond the scope of the story that I started it thinking I would write.
It’s essentially what I had planned, just more vast. Which is cool. But takes longer. So I’m just letting y’all know that I’m not just twiddling my thumbs.

I’m bouncing around a bunch of projects. This is common for me at this time of year. It’s a bad time for most writers. It has something to do with nice whether and vacations and such.

I was hoping that this post would include something truly interesting. But it didn’t seem to work out that way.

Yea, well. You should expect that sometimes.

The good thing is that I usually have lots of interesting things to say after I have done a pointless post like this one.
Thanks for your support.
