I get distracted easily. By shiny things, loud noises, Magic cards, eBay, Craigslist, Facebook, the like.
Pretty much anything.
And lately I’ve been distracted by looking for a job.
It’s not that the writing thing isn’t working out, it’s that the writing thing isn’t working out quite well enough to support me. We’re not starving (which is evident from my waistline) or in danger of losing our house, but we’re eating through our savings a little more quickly than I’d hoped, so I’m probably re-entering the workforce. It’s not a huge deal, I have skills that people are willing to pay for, and I have an interview on Monday.
So that’s happening.
And I finished most of my Bubba work for the year, except the super-secret Skeeter Christmas story that I’m working on that should release next week, just in time for some ho-ho-hilarity.
Guess that’s not much of a secret anymore, is it?
So that’s kinda what’s going on here. I’m looking for full-time employment, or part-time employment, and working hard on resurrecting a local theatre advocacy organization, and writing a bit, and playing Magic. Now it’s time to go work on the rewrites forĀ Paint it Black.
You know, that fourth book in The Black Knight Chronicles that you guys have been waiting a year and a half for? Yeah, the first draft is done, the revised draft is due to my publisher around the first of the year, and hopefully we’ll get that in your hands early in 2013.
Merry Christmas!
Hey John, Just got back from Amazon after buying 16 tons, Family Traditions, and finally Final Countdown, Just couldn’t wait, I also found 1 or 2 shorts I missed.
I can’t wait for the new Deacon Chalk. Can you hurry it up? I’m 63 and I sure don’t want to pass before I get to read it. lol
Anyway I love Bubba. The Black Knights too but not as much. Keep’em comin!
and Merry Xmas from SC
Good luck finding a job! Hopefully Monday will pan out for you.
It’s been a year and a half since the last book? Oye, it has been a long time. Still can’t wait for Paint it Black.
Ugh. Work is the curse of the drinking class.
