Changing Hats

Okay, it's time to put my writer's hat back on and get back to work. I have been doing nothing but cover art, ad art, and promoting lately...and that ain't why I got into this field. I know it's important, and I intend to keep doing it, but I'm going to take a break from it and get back to writing. I need some new stories.

I've currently started a ghost story involving the wedding dress of a dead murderess. It has potential...but they all do when you first start working on them. We'll just have to wait and see where it goes. I have several "good beginnings" stashed away in folders. I may take a look at a couple of those as well.

Today, Heather comes to help with the housework. This means another week that we are all saved from drowning in the rising mess. I'll be taking Rowan to her therapies, and this time I will remember to plug in my laptop so it's good and charged so I can take it with me and use it in the waiting room. I sort of blew it yesterday, and had to leave it at home. Yeah, it's a poor excuse for a writer who doesn't keep his laptop charged and ready to use on a moments notice. I've gotta work on that...and the housework.

  1. The wedding dress ghost story sounds interesting. Will you keep an update going? Or don't you like to talk about WIP?

  2. If it takes off, I'll post a snippet of it later. I don't really mind talking about works in progress. It gives me more material to blog about :)

  3. I had the pleasure of watching 20-somethings scampering around last evening cleaning up their rising mess. Sometimes you just sit back and bask in the happiness.

  4. Cool! Maybe one day mine will turn into useful 20-somethings!
