Time is whizzing by at an outrageous pace. Since my last blog entry seven months ago, I have been busy. So, a quick recap!
November, the usual celebrations for that time of year. December, health issues arose. January, we slowly started to get things back in order. I managed to take the whole summer break to simultaneously get nothing and everything done. February, March, and April have been spent in a haze of writing and editing, writing and editing, as best I can while continuing to recover.
By the end of 2014, I had written an incredible 120,000 words for the entire year, across multiple projects. The next novel in the Snowflesh Trilogy clocked in over 90,000 words, and I have moved onto revising it into something worth handing to my editors. Other stories, a couple of which have been invitations to upcoming anthologies, have demanded sporadic bursts of attention with their various deadlines scattered throughout 2015.
All in all, things are good, continuing to progress, and as long as nothing new crops up, the next novel will herald its arrival by the end of the year, and I hope to have a few more significant short stories accepted in the meantime.
Of course, if you want to have a tiny taste of the efforts I’ve been expending, there will be a piece of my flash fiction in this month’s Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing newsletter. Sign up is free, you’ll get to read Night Sounds and see another end of the world from yours truly. Go to www.pmmpnews.com and fill in the relevant details to receive your copy around May 28th!
And for me, I’m falling back into Book Two. One third down, two more to go.

The Fane 
Ladyfriend & I have both been in a writing drought as of late. Over the weekend we did some mad libs over Skype, & that got us so charged up that we moved on to some speed-writing exercises last night that yielded promising results from both of us.
My focus is still on producing a show until at least late July, but she got so excited that she wants to go back to school for another year to finish her 2nd degree she almost got in writing! 🙂
That’s awesome, Al! Nothing like springboarding off a little fun to get you back into the creative zone! 🙂
