Where I've Been · 3:29am Sep 3rd, 2014
So, I've been taking writing really seriously over the past year. I got 15,000 words out of NaNoWriMo; not bad for a busy month running science festivals. I finished the manuscript in June, sold my retro game systems the funds for self-publishing e-books, and joined a forum thread on one of my boards to write 500 words a night. I was feeling pretty good, especially considering I'm finally a parent (Lyra's style).
Then I come back one, and notice the disappointment and cobwebs I've left around here.
So, I wrote 1,431 words of the next Chaos and Darkness chapter tonight. That brings it up to almost 4K. I'm not going to promise a date, but I'm clearing my writers block on my self-publishing projects to try to come back and finish the backlog of ending I owe people here.
I'm not sure how time will be, considering I'm teaching honors courses that demand instant grading, but I'll try on day at a time and at least 500 words a night. I owe it to the fans that taught me how to write.
:EDIT:
Coincidentally, this is my 100th Blog post. Huh.
There is no past tense in "taught me how to write." It's an ongoing process that hopefully continues to improve with practice.
*Grins* Glad to hear you're still kicking around.
Hot damn, awesome!

Good to see you!
You know, I was wondering where you were!
You're alive?
But seriously, good to see you again.
