Updates

   Well, things are slowly progressing, despite some setbacks medically.
I was forced to take some time off, I've apparently gotten a bit too obsessed about writing, some other stuff, death of a friend, and the cat medical issues. My BP went through the roof. (200 over 110) But I've gotten back on track, or I'm trying to now.

Here is the cover of Jethro 4 Recruiting Drive. I did this right after I passed the book on to the betas.
   It is still in the hands of Joshua and Gord, so I haven't sent it to Rea yet as I planned last week. I'm going to give both fella's a poke this week and see if I can get a progress report and ETA out of them. :)

   In other news, since I had to take some time off, it didn't mean I hadn't abandoned working on Founding of the Federation short stories 1 Stepping Stones, it just meant I had to take it slower... I managed to get a few bits tucked in there, some in PR, some in J5, some in the first Reborn Federation short story book... and cleaned up a few future books up for later.

   I also modeled some more of the characters from J4 in Daz3D. I'll post them later. (you can see a few on the cover image above) A few like the characters for the air crew for the below ship will wait until I get around to modeling the ship itself...

   It has been hot here, (95!) so I've struggled to get back into writing. I'm currently considering working on modeling the Marine attack craft that is in J4 and a couple of the short stories. I call it the
"Bell-Ichim 222 Osprey Attack Craft" It will be my own version of this:    Mine will be a dedicated gunship along the vague lines of a famous TV helicopter... I bought a nurby/greeble pack to help the process along but I'm still stuck in the "OMG it's a lot of work" dithering phase. lol

   I'd like to get the characters, my notes, tech stuff, and models of the ships/craft together with Jory (and the star system maps he's working on) into the Wiki he started. Eventually. Hopefully. Maybe...sooner or later? :P

   I did get another short story for Stepping Stones done this week, and another almost finished. It is nearly 1/3rd finished. Hopefully I can pick up the pace this week.

...And I've just been informed I'm being dragged off to Dairy Queen to spend time with the family. Then they get to sit around and watch the race while I muddle through other things. :)

That's that for this! Until next time!
