Weekly Progress Update:

Hi, hi, hello!

There is 10 days left in the Contest and more submissions came in this week. Be sure to get your Short Stories written – details can be found here. It’s exciting to start reading through some of the works that have been submitted!

As for my own work, this week wasn’t too fruitful. My birthday was this week, as well as a trip to the hospital, so I wanted to just spend a lot of time with the family, so I fell behind on editing Madness. I’d like to hope I can make it up, but that’s a bit optimistic. I’ll just keep chuggin’ along. Worst case scenario, the publication gets delayed a bit. Normally I’m pretty strict on maintaining my timeline and schedules, but recently I’ve been coasting a bit more to spend some quality time with my wife and daughter. They give me the time I need for writing – at the sacrifice of time with them – and sometimes you need to flip the scales.

I’m starting to try to work through the decision on which novel I’ll be working on after Madness is published. It’s a tough one to make, as whichever I choose I’ll be working on for probably 6-12 months. I want to write all of them, and will, but need to start with the one I want to write most. Unfortunately, that is subject to change at any given moment based on current mood. So, it’s difficult to make a resolute decision and stick with it.

But, that’s a worry for about two months from now. 🙂 Until then, it’s back to the sludge of editing.

Best of luck!
