The Vanishing Writer
Gasp it’s been 19 weeks since I posted. That not good. But life has its own direction and neither requires or cares about me being able to post. Lots of changes going on was working to full time jobs finally made the move to the one job on the premises that I would move up in a month or two. My boss misslead me for her own gain, yes it is true I would move up, but instead of it being one month or two try seven months. The move while costly is worth while. I am just now moving up the corporate ladder and making the bigger dollar so I can afford to be back on the net. It got fairly tight but my wife and I weathered it out plus we still, meaning me as the wife is unable to work do to heath problems, manage to support the kids and let some dear friends move in as they had no where to go. So are lean times were very lean.
Now on to the topic of writing. Hmmm not a good subject I fear as it is creeping along and then…. No creeping along is a fairly accurate picture of the situation. This I can only blame on myself as I have far too many interest that I jump back and forth from. I have been making money with several sewing projects and currently in the midst of creating a quilt for the wife. Also I am teaching myself guitar again and if I do say so myself I only mildly grate the senses when I play now. Plus all the computer games I have, at last count one hundred and eighty, I find writing has been taking a back seat far to often. I have not stopped writing just do it far less then I would like to claim.
Ok I have rather ranted long enough and you want to know how far along the book is. It’s written but I have hit a wall as far as the edits go. I am Dyslexic and it takes a great deal of work for me to write and I require someone to check for grammar and such before I send it off. The problem being the last three people I was working with bailed on me. So still searching for the right person to do the edits. And no it’s not because I am unwilling to pay them, I offered each a percentage from the sales of the book.
There is a bright side though I have been writing on the second book and so far 12 chapters deep. So perhaps by the time I finalize the first book the second will be ready to start the edit process. I am really excited to as the third and forth book are really taking shape in my head. The World of Amharc has always been well defined in my head but the details are becoming richer as time passes.
Final thoughts before I close this blog for the day. I have several but I not so sure I want to share them quite yet so I wish you all the best and let your dreams fill your senses to the fullest.
