Well let’s see.
In writing news:
Neil Gaiman is a creepoid serial rapist. Not unsurprising. Hopefully they’ll burn him at the stake on a pile of his own books.
Larry Correia finished his epic fantasy series. All 6 books. Then dedicated the final book to George R. R. Martin with the comment, “See? It’s not that hard.” Which is hilarious. And the literary corner of the internet exploded in 99.9% glee. The other .1% being the sore losers who named their kids Khaleesi before she melted an entire medieval city.
In personal news:
Working on dropping some weight and getting back into shape for 2025 cause I can’t breath after walking up the stairs… It’s going to be a long road. One that I’ve attempted many a time before. So far, so good though. Daughter wants to start Ju-Jitsu or some such when she turns 9 this year. I’d like to be in good enough shape to join with her… and be able to throw around a bunch of little kids in my class…
Writing is/was going well… sorta. I was crushing it, then some things happened and the last week has been a 0 word week. Which is just ridiculous. Everything has realigned to get me back in the saddle tonight. Trample the Weak is about 40%-45% finished. Current plan is to wrap it up, send it to some readers for feedback while I work on Leap the Dead. I want to release both late Summer of this year, back to back. (Which is gonna be so badass if I pull it off. Not to mention the publisher should be happy as well.)
I shipped out a set of my books today. Realized it was the first time I’d ever actually held them all together. I snapped a picture of the 6.5 years worth of slaving away at night on a keyboard for fame and fortune. Pretty cool.
In world news:
This is going on. Which is pretty epic to watch.
Also LA and Hollywood is burning. They are also being given piles of money, while those of us in Western NC were given a paltry $750 and the middle finger by FEMA if we had a Trump sign in our yard.
So, same old.
Anyways.
I wish you all a most amazing and blessed year.
Let’s goooo write!
