Well, here I am again, sitting in my schools library, with nothing else to really do, and I can't help but realize I have been away from writing for a while. My legs are just about torn to hell from work, and my brain is in such a shocked state that it can barely think straight. And here I am, thinking about how fun it used to be, staying up all night writing until it felt as though my fingers were going to fall off, and publishing these stories with great relief. Unfortunately I can't do that so well anymore, nowadays I have a job to worry about, and classes that I can already tell are going to slap the crap out of me, and most recently the publishing of my second book which takes a lot let me tell you now what with the few classes I'm teaching about writing, and the events that I'm going to speak at. Not going to be all fun and games, I have got to admit that much, but I do know one thing for sure, none of these factors will prevent me from doing the thing I love most. Heck, even writing this message is making that fire burn again, I feel energized, but also realizing that I am in desperate need of a nap as anyone in my classes can agree. So I just wanted to bring you guys up to date with things that will be going on, and just to get some kind of writing done. But I also wanted to say that I will be writing plenty more, let me assure you, I know I've been lacking but truthfully I will strive to improve. The release of missing is so close I might be a little more busy than I usually am, but now that the editing is done, I can once more riddle away at my keyboard. Jeez, that was kind of a short story wasn't it?
