What To Do?
Sometimes We Ran 2: Community is out in the wide world and selling. I'm thinking of part 3, but I like to relax a bit and let the story marinate a bit in my head. I'll probably lay a few words down in March.
Meanwhile, I could do something else. I started, but threw away a few ideas for some novelettes. These two gems are currently hiding on my hard drive:
-a future, high-tech amusement park where the robots go nuts.
-a future, post-apocalyptic Earth that has returned to feudal times with kings and knights. The radiation from the bombs has given rise to people with "magical powers." I admit...this idea might have been influenced by watching Adventure Time on Nick. :)
Hmmm...what to do? Should I pursue or let these ideas continue their slumber?

My 1995 Firebird

This is a picture of my pride and joy - my '95 Pontiac Firebird. I have owned it for sixteen years, an I can't believe it's been that long.
In that time, it has served as my daily driver, show car, and fun "getting-away-from-stress" car. :)
It's not the fastest Firebird on the streets. In fact, it's a V6 model - 200 hp 3800 V6. So when me and my car club buddies hit the road, I'm usually bringing up the rear. It is a very smooth and quiet powerplant. Still passes emissions with flying colors.
What it does do well is car shows. I don't want to brag, but it has about two dozen awards from shows and cruises. Maybe it's the color - Bright White.
Its been a great sixteen years. One day, I hope to adorn it with an "antique" tag. God willing, I think my little white Firebird is going to be a permanent fixture in my garage.

A Slight Delay
Sometimes We Ran 2 hit a little snag. It's almost ready to hit the market. It's been put into chapters for Leanpub, a blurb has been written, and the cover is ready.
But then I got sick.
The nasty cold/flu killer virus came down hard on me, and sent me to bed. I am just now getting over it. The book had to wait.
Funny story (okay, maybe not that funny). Some of the symptoms of the cold/flu killer virus that got me were the same as my zombie-changeover symptoms in my book. I knew it wasn't actually going to happen, but I still didn't want to close my eyes.:)
Look for Sometimes We Ran 2: Community in your favorite ebookstore soon!

The Journey Begins... Again.
Sometimes We Ran 2: Community is back from the wild world of editing. Now it's time to see if I can make it into a book. Pray (or maybe it's prey... after all, it is a zombie novel :)) for me as I dive into the sea of red ink.
