January Update: Working Midnight Shifts Is As Hard As It Is Inspiring

Now how does that work? Well, there are some weeks where I'm working five nights in a row. In fact, I just finished my third streak, and am now comfortably sitting on my couch typing this out when I should probably be sleeping. Tonight's my night off, but I'll likely be awake for most of it, anyway.

I figured you guys deserved an update, since I haven't made a blog post since freaking November.

Alright, so here it is, and I have a surprising amount of stuff planned for this year.

First off: I have four big-ish projects planned, three of which will be Cobalt Rogue-related, including both parts of Vol. 3 planned for separate summer releases and a Christmas 'special' slated for the end of the year--the latter of which I won't reveal much, other than the name, 'Cobalt Christmas,' AKA 'Cobalt Rogue: Countdown Till Christmas.' Haven't decided on the title just yet.

The other is 'Jumping for Charlotte,' which is by far going to be the shortest of the lot. I can only do so much in a year, you know. Lol.

I'm starting to manage to balance all this reading and writing and eating and sleeping out with my work schedule. Midnight may be the best shift, since it has the fewest people showing up (lol), but it can be tiring. All that sunlight--or rather, the lack of it. I can't see that being a very good thing after a while.

However, it does do wonders for my imagination. The site is ripe with inspiring things. Creepy things, atmospheric things, and things that create things in my head. It seems that no matter where I go, my imagination twists it into a scenario for a dozen different story ideas. I'm weird like that. Who knows? Maybe we'll be seeing a few motel-based horror stories in the next year or so. I definitely enjoy writing horror stories.

NOTE TO THOSE OF YOU WITH WHOM I'M SWAPPING REVIEWS WITH: IF I HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO YOUR BOOK YET, FEAR NOT, FOR I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU. I apologize for my slow reception.

ALSO, I'm aware that I still have yet to finish editing 'Cobalt Rogue, Vol. 2.' Hopefully I'll have that done soon. Please forgive me, and be patient, although I'm also aware that I've been asking for a lot of patience these past few months...

Anyway, stay tuned. Will be bringing another update in a week or a few weeks... sometime in February, for sure. If I'm going to make scarce updates, I will try to keep it monthly or bi-weekly from now on.

Thank you all!
