The Reports of My Death…

I know all has been quiet on the blog front here – 75% of that is due to the fact that my tech has finally gotten so outdated that doing anything on-line is like fighting a bear for its honey supply – slow, painful and sticky.

I am getting a ‘new’ computer this weekend coming and hope to make more regular posts then.

A quick summary – all the edits are done for the anthology I am in, ‘Shades and Shadows: A paranormal anthology’ and it will be released quite soon.

I am making some prizes to give away during the on-line release party held by  Xychler Publishing on the 31st. Each author will be offering prizes that relate to their story during the party through contests of various kinds.

I am working closer toward getting back to writing more in the third Jonathan Alvey novel, ‘Nine of Cups’. Reading and rereading to immerse myself in the plot before allowing it to continue.

 

On the non-writing part of my life – I have begun my fall/winter cycle. It isn’t too bad yet but I have had to up my meds to compensated. For two hours on either side of taking them the ‘control’ is getting thin.

This is early for me so I admit I am not exactly thrilled. I am a bit scared it is going to be a bad episode or another long one like last year. At least this year, since I was able to drop my meds after my July cycle, I was able to up meds in response to the mounting issues.

 

I am getting new e-cig equipment – moving into the more modern world of batteries and tanks. My old batteries are already past their life expectancy and I am using my birthday money to make the change. I am looking forward to it, even though it means a change in how I use/ carry my supply. But I think it will be a good thing in the long run.

I wrote a blog entry a few weeks back but didn’t post it because I thought Xychler could use it on their site for a blog post – and I was right. It was just posted this Friday so you can go check it out HERE, and while you’re there have a look around – there are many good blog posts, and links to books available from them.
