Back in Black

Nearly a year after my last post, and I pop to life. Hello AGAIN, world.

Anticlimatic.

My blog fell by the wayside while I was off having a life and dealing with other things. But it's always helped me to say out loud (or type) the things that matter; and rereading my own blog post, I remembered some of my own plots and plans and diabolical agendas.

Anyway, an update:

I've finished another novel, and I'm sending it out to a publisher soon. Yay.

I participated in another Nanowrimo, and I genre-jumped. HARD.

I became technical lead on a huge project that required time and commitment.

I brought home two adorable kitty-cats.

Sweet, eh?

Here's my plan; 2009 is the year I'll finish at least two writing projects. Possibly three. These writing projects will be sent out to different publishers. I.e., I want very badly for something I've written to be published. I'll settle for a tiny piece of the pie. I'll settle for a few hundred copies sold. But I'd like to know that what I'm doing isn't entirely crap.

Subtext; I suspect what I'm doing is crap, even though those who have read it say it isn't. I suspect most writers think this of their own work. I find it difficult to acknowledge my own strong points, and easy to find my errors and weaknesses.

Well, later this week I'll post about my most recent projects, and the impacts of sociology on my writing.
