So Sorry

I'm a terrible blogger, I know. But I hardly ahve a spare minute to sit down and do any writing. I've been working in the office instead of at home, and I don't have the time to sit in front of the computer and spend time with my kids. So, I usually choose my kids.

Anyway, I'm just dropping in quickly to tell everyone what's been up lately. I've read a lot of good books--The Conqueror Worms, by Brian Keene, Blaze by Richard "Stephen King" Bachman, and Made in America by Bill Bryson to name just a few.

The wife and I went to a Counting Crows concert a few weeks ago. I've never been a big Crows fan, but the wife is, and I've grown to really like the CDs she plays. It was an awesome show. Plus Collective Soul and Live opened. Good time.

I got my first ever contributor's copy magazine the other day. It was from Scifaikuest. They published two of my haiku in print and two on-line. Got a big check for $4. But I'm mostly excited to have an actual print publication, that people pay for, with my work in it. Feels good. I should be getting another magazine soon from Horror Carousel with my story "The Eye of the Monster" in it. Yippee!

Anyway, I've got to go. I've been working hard on a new idea, I'll tell you more about it once I get started with the actual writing. Hopefully soon!

Congratulations, Rob! Many more to come I hope! :*) I like Counting Crows even though I have never bought their CD's. I like 'Round Here' and 'Mr. Jones.' Keep us posted on your progress!

I haven't updated in forever, either. But I'm hoping to sometime this weekend after I get all situated and moved in.

Thanks, Demon Hunter! I hope to have a whole shelf full of publications some day. But I guess that means I need to keep working at it.

Well, you should be moved in, Will, so I expect to read about the high excitement that is college life sometime soon!
