I went missing from here again for awhile. Sorry 'bout that.
I had a few rough days and I've been kind of tired. Both my wife and I have had a lot of appointments lately, not to mention some bad days. I needed a few days in between doctors and such to recover. I had in mind to do some new things in November. I wanted to try some realignment - rethinking how I handled parts of my life and working out new strategies for moving forward. I also wanted to get some more content on this blog, and not just words. Well, best laid plans and all that. Life got in the way just a bit with me doing things in general, with day to day stuff, and in a big way with me blogging. My brain has been fried, so no coherent thoughts on here.
But I'm still working on it. I have the ideas about life, but I need to put it into words and deeds.
Writing-wise I've had some lousy days, but I've also had a few good ones. Now, I'm not saying that I'm writing anything great. I'm just saying that the words are there.
I am embracing the NaNoWriMo ideal of just writing - no editing, no deleting, no spell-check even, just typing. So, if a finished first draft of a novel is draft 1, and a very rough draft is draft 0, then if I get this thing done I will have draft -5.
What I have is not just in need of polishing, it is in need of, well, fire-polishing in the cleansing heat at the heart of the sun.

Definitely let us know when your draft sets the controls for the heart of the sun! (1.3 bonus pts for whoever gets that reference...)
Sorry I didn't respond sooner, I was at this really crazy restaurant listening to some guy named Pink play music really loud.
I just hope that when my manuscript - to be generous - does that, it isn't a self-destruct course.
I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Any time you're posting non-content, feel free to dribble some on my blog!
Nope, Tom, I didn't get it.
Check in Joe's cd library under "P"...
