Hello people. I know that I haven’t updated in far too long and I have nothing else to say about it other than it’s been purely my own laziness. I haven’t had much of an issue at work, it’s died down a lot. So yes it’s just been laziness.
Beyond the laziness, happy new year. Did a chapter of
Terra, Failed Attempts.(Scroll down) It came out pretty well, we shift back to everyone on Mars, and I try to flesh out some of the characters a little bit.
There’s also another bang story,
Bang in the Proposal. It’s become an end of sorts, well at least a conclusion to the last story, Bang in the Yulelog. It wrapped up the hanging ends, but still left plenty of room open for some something new if it strikes me.
I’ve been working on a round robin story with Theromen and Basil_Jelly, we’re having a bit of fun on it.
Snow day is here if you want to read it, or join it.
Working on another chapter of Terra next, I’m trying to get the story into gear. I don’t want to just be writing a chapter every 2 or 3 months again. My goal is to get things closer to finishing soon, but it’s still some ways away. But if I can get things going and get past this little block that I’ve been dealing with, it’d be nice. It’s not that I’ve just gotten writer’s block, far from it. but the big problem is that I’ve been thinking about so much of this stuff for so long that now my noggin just kind of thinks about it as old news. So once I get past this, it will all be different stuff. Sure there’s a lot planned, but it’s different than having thought it all out. I can tell you that they get to Mars, but thinking about how that happens specifically is different. So sure there are various things that I will set up in these chapters that will come into play, including Kyle’s roommate, and Josiah’s courtesan. They will play important roles in the story, but so will people like Brody and Green. Things are getting heavy, and I want to get to the heaviness soon. So in doing that, the next chapter of Terra is close to a very rough draft, but it’s going to need a lot of beefing up. Still just getting through the scenes are important, even knowing that I’m going to have to return to it. So I basically have 2 scenes, well maybe just one real long one to do and then I go back and fill it up.
Ok, long paragraph. Beyond that I’ve been beta reading again, a little something for wolfdragongod, which has some promise. The other thing is something that a new writer is working on, Jay Bird, at F3. I’ll keep both on the down low, but if they post it, I’ll blog it. Probably like a month after but nevertheless.
Still haven’t updated my website, still mulling over just doing the blog thing. It’s not that much effort, again, pure laziness.
Personally things are more or less the same. Liver is acting up again, hopefully it won’t be too big of an issue. I’m a survivor. Work is, as I said, dying down a bit, which is nice, but the lack of money isn’t. Just waiting on the W2 form right now. Hoping to get a car with it. Should be some decent deals now, with the bad economy.
I plan on writing Terra until another story idea comes to mind. I have a few different story thoughts, but they’re really not much more than characters. Still got an idea for another What You Need story but its baseball related. Maybe during spring training, when the game starts for real.
Well I hope I made up for the long absence with a decent explanatory post. A comment, reply, email, something, wouldn’t hurt.
Peace
