So Quiet around the Blog-o-Sphere
Hello, fellow writers and other assorted readers!
Is it just me, or has it been really quiet around the blog-o-sphere lately? Perhaps everyone is madly preparing for NaNoWriMo and too busy for much else? I hope it’s not that everyone else is as work-crazed as I have been of late. I don’t want to get into the work thing too much on this blog, but suffice to say that the fall is our busiest time (gotta get those manuals out by year-end!), and every deadline I meet has another one right behind it.
The nice thing about fall has been the weather these past few weeks. If everyone else has been having the same great weather Fort Worth’s been having, I would highly recommend leaving the computer and enjoying the cool breezes and sunshine. It’s been such a relief after those 100+ tempertures that accompany a Texas summer. This morning was the first one that was positively chilly outside. I pulled my favorite boots and turtleneck out of the closet with glee, as I haven’t been able to wear them since last summer.
My lack of time for writing lately has given me fewer ideas for blog topics lately. I did notice last night that I have stories out at 16 locations on submission. I think that’s a good total. Maybe a few of them will bring home an acceptance! I think the creative part of my brain is taking a rest before NaNo madness — I can’t believe that Saturday will begin the one-week countdown!
Well, I suppose I’d better quit babbling for now. I hope all is well for everyone out there, and that you are enjoying a beautiful autumn thus far!

Well, I posted a lengthy and heartfelt entry on the works of Robert Howard, but no one has anything to say about that…
You know, I enjoyed reading that entry. I just didn’t have any comments, as I’ve never read Rober Howard. I’m thinking about it now, though.
I’ve been playing that stupid Vampires game on myspace instead of blogging. And my kid is sick… And my wife is in Alaska… I’ve been busy and hermity.
I hope the kiddo feels better soon!
I was unexpectedly called away but I’m back now. I decided not to do Nano - too much else gonig on - but I’m toying with a story and writing a scene every day in a sort of “I’m right there with you” sympathy vote.
