Well, as you can see, this is not the start of the aforementioned series of reviews. I’ve not yet been able to write said review and, in the interest of not leaving you all hanging, I thought I’d do a generic update. I haven’t been able to sit down and get a blog out lately, mostly because I’ve been busy with work and trying to get my joint writing work “Knight’s Woman” edited – among other things.

Some other updates since my last blog:

I’ve reduced my simming presence to a single simm, mainly due to the lack of time I’ve had to commit to it.  I do not discount my previous comments on the importance of simming if you are a writer, but in the same regard I cannot hold positions that I’m unable to fulfill.

I’m pondering a re-working of this site’s look and feel. I think it would be a good time to change gears and get a new look going. While I’d still like to focus on writing, I’d also like to do more general blogging as well.

I’m working on reading more of the good and less of the bad (figuratively speaking). I’ve decided to switch my normal reading material – popular fiction with guys like Stephen King – out with the classics. Starting with Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates, an excellent read, and now continuing with the near finished Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. Vonnegut’s ‘A man without a country’ is next on the list. I’m open to suggestions on the lineup afterward.

I’m silently building a heavy anticipation for the start of football season – both professional and college – and I’m ready to start updating my nerdiriffic stats on the killer bees.

I think that’s close to the end of the list. I still want to do the reviews, but right now the priority is editing on the joint novel project and some other stories that have been left in the basket a little too long. Stay tuned for more.
