Vroom

Work continues on this new story, The Idea Salesman.  I’m not sure if it’s going to be worth anything, or if it will ever see the light of day, but for now it’s a carrot in front of my face and I absolutely cannot stop.

My host is doing a server migration, starting around midnight tonight, so if the site is down, this is why.  They say it could take up to 48 hours which is retarded.  My service with them ends on the 22nd.  I’ll have service with BlueHost before then.  And all of you folks out there probably won’t even notice the changeover.

Unfortunately this means I won’t be able to do a damn thing to the site over the weekend, so for all two of you who actually wanted to read something in the stories section, you’ll just have to wait.

In the meantime I’m going to go type up what I wrote by hand today.  With any luck, I’ll pick up speed and crank out the whole thing.  Maybe I’ll type so fast my keyboard starts to melt, like this:

I’ll see you folks on the other side,

    Well, dang.

    I just recently finished a very short (for me) story for an e-zine, but I have no idea when it will be up.
    I also *sort of* finished the rough draft of the novel last night, but I won’t be able to start typing it until I’m back from my vacation. I’m really antsy to get to start, though, as I know where all the rough spots are and want to fix them very badly.

    Anyway, I’m going to make a concerted effort before the end of this year to read your book and some more stories, since I’ve fallen behind. Wish I’d gotten to the end of imagiNation (I lost the pdf after I sent my comments). Were you ever able to make progress with the editing?

    You write stuff on paper before typing it out? I should try that. My attention span quarters when I’m in front of a computer, so it may help.

Got something to say?
