I knew I hadn't been keeping up on my blog, but find it hard to believe it's been two months since I last posted. Part of that is because I left one post in a drafts folder back in early May. I had meant to post about achieving active membership in SFWA (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America) via my short story sales. So, 2 1/2 months late - yay! SWFA achieved!
Secondly, it's partly due to being in the throes of writing a new novel. (See chart above.) I'm currently hovering around"the internet is so shiny" (hence updating my blog instead of writing) and approaching "restless leg syndrome."
Meanwhile, I'm reading a record 7 books at once (2 non-fiction for research for the WIP novel, Jeff VanderMeer's Wonderbook, which I received on request for my birthday, the last book in Tim Powers' Fault Lines trilogy (Earthquake Weather) on Kindle, the 5th in Stephen King's Black Tower series on CD in the car, and 2 additional non-fiction books recommended on the business of writing. I'm also trying to finish up reading from the Hugo voter packet before voting ends this month, and just finished some judging duties for the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Colorado Gold contest for 2016.
Later, when things are less hectic (yeah, right) I hope to post more, hope to have some exciting news to post about publishing -- though for starters, Daily Science Fiction recently accepted a story (release date TBD) -- and may even attempt a newsletter for anyone interested. Feel free to subscribe anytime though, and I'll make extra effort to keep you in the loop!
