Broken Promises and Plots

A while ago, a chapter sample was promised.  Unfortunately, that was before I came to the conclusion that obtaining electronic rights for some of my sources would be next to impossible.  So no chapter sample yet, you will just have to buy the whole book if you want to see it, though I may figure some way around this chapter sample dilemma given enough time.

In other news, I made some major headway on the epic comic (comic strip + epic poetry).  The epic poem actually has a coherent plot now.  This has done wonders for me and made it easier to write.  I do not know how anyone can write a story without a plot.  Reading someone’s stream of consciousness would probably be just as difficult if not harder.  Expect to see more epic comics integrated in the site posts.

29th Birthday Means It’s Prime Time!

It’s been six years since I last had a birthday that was also a prime number (23).  Unfortunately, my next one is only two years away.  A part of me is thinking that it would be awesome if I could produce another book by then, or accomplish some other gargantuan task between my remaining prime birthdays (31, 37, 41, 43, 47, etc.). Stranger things have happened.

Also, somebody found the Parabola theme from CryoutCreations and he really likes it!  I have to say it’s a lot more functional than the previous theme I was using and I like the look of it.

Only ten days left till Affect Engineering hits the streets, pending I don’t find anything dreadful that needs fixing before then.

Back from Oblivion

Museums, post-apocalyptic movies, improv, dancing in a music video, Mile High Blues, food poisoning, headaches, hallucinations, a Renaissance festival, visiting family, science fiction (Eureka), cops with cool British accents (Luther), resourceful spies (Burn Notice), Scrabble, the Grizzly Rose, the Mercury Cafe, the Turnverein . . .

After being out of town for over a month vacationing, I have been eager to get back to work, more so than usual.  I acquired the final permissions that I need just a few days ago, so a finished book should be rolling off the press soon, likely within the next week or two.  There is more to come.
