Status updates and watching football randomocity

In case either of you were wondering, here's what I've been up to lately:


Rereading The Sorcerer's Daughter, rewriting it, bringing it just a bit closer towards being ready to send off for a publisher to consider.


Writing "Unus" (the story I mentioned here previously). It's coming along, slowly. I'm in no hurry to finish it, since I really don't have anywhere to submit it when I'm done.


Painting, painting, painting . . . I'd upload a pic of my latest painting here but for some reason every time I try that it locks up my browser. Just as well.


Watching my Atlanta Falcons sink deeper and deeper into mediocrity. They're just a terrible football team. The fact that, at this moment, they are in first place in the NFC South is more a testament to how much the teams in the NFC South suck. And I don't expect them to remain in first place much longer.


Having technical issues left and right. Fought off a virus infection on my laptop the other day. It seems to be okay now. Of course, now that I've said something . . .


It looks like the first half of next year is going to be really busy--I've been told a film project I'm involved with will probably start heating up early in 2015. I'll be involved in rewrites on that, and I expect the notes from the others involved to be extensive.


And, as I said, I'll be hammering away on the manuscript for the novel. Even if I do place it with a publisher the editor I wind up working with will have notes that may require quite a bit more rewriting.


Part of the process. I fully expect any feedback I get to be useful and result in a better story, both on the script and on the novel.


The holidays are rapidly approaching--I almost let them slip up on me. Fortunately, I got my shopping done before it was too late. I have a very short list so it didn't take very long.


That's pretty much it, for me. Lots of stuff on the horizon, not a lot going on at the moment. I know you were wondering.
