You're Not Dead?
Apparently not.
All right, quick rundown. I promise I will do a more in-depth entry in the future about the things I am going to quickly go through, but for the moment, here's what's been going on in my corner of the Net.
1) Roller Derby. I'm really enjoying it, even though it is kicking my ass something fierce. I've noticed body changes happening already, and I am really enjoying the camaraderie that exists among the followers. If you have Netflix, I highly recommend checking out the (sadly only one) season of Rollergirls they have available, and also giving a whirl to the movie Whip It. Both good projects, both very enjoyable. If I can stop getting injured seemignly every other session I'll be doing a lot better, but for now, things are all right.
2) Writing. I submitted Lottery Odds to five different places today, and found another slot to send Salvation off to. To be brutally honest, it's becoming harder and harder to find places to send my burgeoning urban fantasy epic to, because, as of this writing, I have been turned down by thirty (and when I say thirty, what I mean is FUCKING THIRTY) places in my quest to get it a print home. There's a lot more ports of call that I can tour with my high-school-reunion romance, but I am beginning to run low on possibly launching pads for Salvation. More on this anon.
3) Work. Meh. It's the day job. Less said about it the better.
4) Music. I haven't touched my guitar in months, sad to say. Between roller derby, writing, submitting and day job, not to mention keeping up on being a good husband, something had to give and regrettably that has been music. I'm hoping to get back to it at some point... I just have absolutely no idea what that point might be.
That's all for the moment. Good thoughts to you and yours.
