Still here!
I just wanted to post a quick blurb to let people know that I'm still here. I'll admit that I've been slow on the editing process, not because it's hard or painful, but because I've been sleeping. Haha, not for weeks straight, but instead of getting up at or before 7am (2 hours before my normal work time) I've been sleeping until 8. I've woken up early a few days and have gotten some great work done, but I find that, after 8 months of getting up early, I like to sleep in.
Don't worry, though. I'm not some dead-beat writer who never finishes a project. I've heard it's good to take several weeks off from a story to clear ones head. It's been 5 weeks since I've finished the first draft and I'm very eager to get back to work on it full-time (by full time I mean a couple hours a day, all the time I can make for it).
In other news, I've been doing some very non-writer stuff; things that should bar me from the serious writers-guild... you know, things like having a life outside of the computer room. I went to a reptile convention and bought some new pets! My girlfriend and I are now the proud owner of 2 horned-lizards, 4 poison-dart frogs, and a sugar glider named Bindy Moone. I'm usually wary about the sale of exotic pets and animals, but all of these species have a long history of captive breeding here in America... with the possible exception of the horned-lizards. I read online that many of the ones sold are wild-caught, which I abhor. Our two new ones are little babies, though, and are very well adjusted to human contact, so I hope they were bred and not caught. We named our sugar glider after Steve Irwan's courageous daughter, Bindi, which is appropriate because gliders are an Australian animal, named in honor of an Australian hero, with a indigenous sounding name. Actually our glider's bloodline is probably from Indonesia, but it's still close enough :)
When I get the website more organized, I'll post pictures of everything. In the mean time, back to work!
