A Strange Few Weeks

I haven't updated in the last few weeks.

Life has been very crazy.

My work has been going exceptionally well. I'd be happy to have a job pretty much anywhere in this economy. I have a nice office. I can listen to music while I work. The workspace is laid back. It pays better than any of my previous jobs. And it looks like they want to hire me full-time, so I won't be worried about being a contractor or not having health insurance.

The downside is that the last two weeks have beem crazy busy, but I should finish that up this next week.

On the weekends, insatia and I have had our bodies kidnapped by twenty year olds and suddenly been forced to drive to Portland or whereever for nights of parties and gaming. It has been fun.

I think I'm happy with the layout of Twilight Temptations. I'm going to look at it again tomorrow and hope that the ISBN mess is handled. And then, I can jump to the next Simian Publishing Project. This year has been a slow time for Simian Publishing as my personal life kind of took over, but I am determined to make this company continue.

On the writing front, I've also had good news.

There was a project that I thought I had been dropped from contacting me and asking about my edits. I was surprised, but I worked on that yesterday. I'm going to work on it against this afternoon and give it to insatia.

I was also invited to a couple of NDA projects.

This helped boost my ego a bit. I think I have been suffering from that old enemy of writers...depression.

I have a test reader running through Dreams in the Dragon's House. It sounds like she is taking it pretty seriously and making lots of comments. It occured to me yesterday how I could change the struture of the beginning to make it easier to jump into. But that would be a serious project. I've heard of writers wasting years on a book that would never be published. I certainly dont want to do that.
