Being my usual self, instead of writing or even planning, I’ve been working on other things. Mostly my site, which I usually enjoy tinkering with. I’ve added a few mods to the forum that do a lot of neat things, some games, updated my Books section with new pictures for each books since I’ve spent way too much time messing around with this neat site. So I haven’t just been staring off into space…But neither have I done any planning or writing. Part of me isn’t actually all that excited about writing. It might be because I’m thinking too much about the book I’m going to write after this, or it may just be that everything going on around here has made my brain a little frizzled. I want to work on it and finish it, I really do, but the motivation doesn’t seem to be there in large quantities at the moment. But I am going to try writing the first scene tomorrow. It should be short, but it will be important, as it introduces two new characters and sets off the whole chain of events that are to come really. Maybe once I get started, it will all come flooding back to me…?

As far as other things go, I have read the first 4 chapters of Rides a Dread Legion…I know its not a lot, but usually I am too tired to read much when I get in bed at night. And if I start reading during the day, I’ll probably keep at it until after the sun goes down and the day is over. Which isn’t a good idea at the moment, there is already not enough hours in a day.

Even though I might not be super excited, I hope that’s not how everyone feels. Too bad writing a book is a long process for me. I’d love to be able to dish a few out a year. Then again, I’d probably run out of material a lot sooner and have nothing left to do! Instead of having ideas, but having to wait a year before I can really pay them any attention.
