Recap: January 2014
Hello all!
I had a bit of a mishap this month as my overworked laptop suddenly began convulsing and entered into it's pathetic and horrifying death throes that involved the inability to go back to any restore point...good news is, I was able to get the help of my techno-wizard friend Josh Slay [best last name ever? I think so...] and he managed to save all of my files before wiping the drive and handing me a shiny, dumb sponge of a laptop back. I've spent the last few days after work re-installing all of my programs and copying and arranging all of my files according to my fastidious system - really my computer is SO much neater than all of my stacks of paper copies...really...
So after this unfortunate setback, I really can't waste anymore time in pumping out Thistletorn if I'm going to publish it by my very real and very necessary due date. There is a rhyme and a reason to why this must be done...it revolves around a plot...a very devious plot that I will eventually explain but for now you can rest assured that it involves the Mythical Man Beast.
I'm going to be walking an incredibly fine line in the next few months because I have to balance work, stress, writing, and the wonderful flying back and forth between here and CT to visit the Mythical Man Beast for much needed couple time. We've started visiting one another once a month so I'm going to be out of commission for any writing for roughly 5 days every month....gah....
Well, I know what I'm doing this weekend....going to a comedy show? Well, yeah but that's for a birthday. I swear. Comedy show aside, I'm going to spend the entire weekend writing and trying to get my ass in gear.
In other news! A very good friend of mine and videographer, Alex Gonzalez, is going to be interviewing/filming me for a trailer for Thistletorn! Whoohoo! We probably won't have it done until March but I'll let you know how it goes!
Well, I am off to the land of Nod...as I have a job to get to in the morning. *sigh* I keep telling myself it's paying the bills but some days it just doesn't cut the mustard.
