Crickets Chirping

Oooh, I can hear the crickets chirping... I haven't updated this in months, and I'm sure I've lost all of my readers.

For anyone new to the show, this journal is mirrored in Live Journal as ewiserss, which makes it a painless way to watch this and other journals at the same time.

If you are one of the rare folks that come to the journal by way of the Simreal front page you will have noticed a new feature there -- word count progress status bars!

(which will be updated to be faster, this week)

This is my year of writing and sculpture... so my Journal front page shows the progress on my writing projects.

My general theory is to write (as much as I can, given my stupid work schedule, health, and whatnot) rough drafts and put them aside for a few months. Then, once I've reasonably forgotten the writing, to go back and edit them. Once edited, I'll get them read (I have a few readers on hand, probably want to get a few more) for feedback, re-edit, and then submit.

With any luck, I'll get published!

I'm doing short stories and novels, as the whim strikes (I have lots of both in my brain), hopefully improving with practice until I reach some semblance of "good". Or at least "publishable" which is not always the same thing.

My genre is horror -- though sometimes it may be erotic horror, though I may tone that down in editing.

Oh, and sculpting. I'll start that sometime after this accursed product releases.
