I, like most of you, am spending this Valentine’s day rewatching last night’s Battlestar Galactica and trying to piece together a feasible timeline for all the actions reported by Anders. Was that episode a total mind frak or what? Right… ahemm… okay moving on.
I’m also putting together a bunch of supplementary materials to accompany those short stories I’ve been working on. I’ve got a glossary, an appendix and a bunch of maps that are probably going up today are tomorrow. The editing is taking a good deal longer than I had previously imagined as I have to work line by line so the words no longer sound like they did when I wrote them at seventeen. Boy did I have an incredible, amazing, and awesome love affair with superlatives.
Then tonight it’s off and running with Gray Bolt. I’m going to start at the very beginning, edit my way through and then start attacking the ending after a couple of days. That’s the only way I’m going to be able to pick the narrative back up where I left off. So far Gray Bolt has killed my grandfather and my website when I’ve tried to finish it. Let’s see what else it kills before I get it done. One old man and one website? That’s it? Come on Gray Bolt! You can kill more than that!
I also have this idea where I want to put up a poll every Saturday with ten story ideas on it, have all of you vote on which stories you would like me to write for the week, and then I will write the top three winners. One fiction, two non-fiction as I still need to bulk up my fiction muscles. Accompanying this change would be a donation tab where you could donate money on a strictly voluntary basis. I can’t tell whether or not I feel right about this yet, so that’s on hold. Tell me what you think.
Also, I’m applying for a bunch of crappy jobs. So that’s fun.
How are you this Valentine’s Day? I hope you are well, and stay classy.
