As I was saying... That was a long break. I haven't written in three months. I can't really explain why. Laziness? Probably. I've been slowly pecking away at my Lettahs To Celebrities book and it's picked up nicely over the past week or so. I'd like to have it published in January. It's going to cover the years 1967-2013, one or two letters a year. The first one is Ringo Starr. The most recent are Larry Bird, Bill Cosby, and Don Johnson. I'm around 1987 or 1988, so I'm about halfway done. It's been slow going, but my writing has picked up recently so I think I'll be able to finish within a month or so.
The Auctioneer has been put on hold, I'm planning to rewrite the entire second half of the book. That is my project for winter and spring of 2013.
I had another short story accepted for publication a couple of weeks ago, that makes a total of eleven in the past two and a half years but the first one of 2012. My goal was ten short stories published this year, but then I didn't write any because I've been busy writing other things. The story that was just accepted is called "A Lucid Moment" and was actually written last year, in 2011. It's a good story, one of the better ones I've written. I hope to write a few more short stories in the near future, I'd like to have a few more published next year.
The rest of my evening will be spent watching "Warrior" with Seth. I watched it last week and told Seth it was really good, so now he wants to watch it with me. And so I am off, but I will return soon.
