jasonandrewIt has been several weeks since I’ve updated.
I was laid off at the end of November. It hit me fairly hard since I loved that job and working there. And sadly, the contract I had during the summer screwed up my Unemployment. It is supposed to work out, but until then, I’ve been dirt poor. Thankfully, my lovely wife has been supporting me. It really made me uncomfortable. Yeah, I know I have issues.
I start my new job on Monday. It doesn’t pay quite as much, but it is work. I feel like a load has been lifted.
I had to set down and make priorities for myself. I closed my small press company Simian Publishing. The economy is killing the already very small market for small press books and the money I spend on that side business could be used to pay off debt and savings, It was a hard choice to make, but I think it was the right one.
I think being home alone every day drove me a little crazy. I obsess on details and little failures.
I’ve been so stressed that I haven’t been able to properly think straight. Oddly, or perhaps not so oddly, as soon as I had the confirmation date for my new job I was able to start writing again.
I started writing book #3 this morning. The title is Ravenswood Academy: School for Villainy and Skullduggery. I’ve been having a blast making up super hero and villain names. I like this universe. I’ve always loved superheroes.
I have Dylan and the Dream Pirates with a test reader. I will edit when I get the feedback.
I have some more edits for Dreams in the Dragon’s House that I need to tackle. I’m getting better and better reviews for it, so I think I am making progress.
