Not a heck of a lot to report right now. I have three stories out right now looking for publication; one sort of dark post-apocalyptic science fiction, another very short horror story, and another very short Gothic fantasy. I really haven’t been writing a lot lately. July is always a slow month for me anyway, because I typically keep my daughter for that month, and we’re normally doing stuff.

I have been watching a lot of Doctor Who lately. Generally, I’m not that big on television shows. I’d really rather write than watch TV, but there’s something about the world and characters of Doctor Who that’s kind of captured my fascination. So I’m watching all the new episodes and a few of the older ones. I did watch a few of these when I was a kid, but I don’t have the sort of diehard fan commitment that a lot of sci-fi folks seem to have toward the good Doctor.

I saw Avatar: The Last Airbender with the kiddo the other night. It’s terrible. I just don’t see how someone could screw up the movie that bad. I mean, did he even watch the cartoon? Why didn’t he just hire the original writers to work on the script? I believe this is what working in a vacuum can do to your creativity.

I am stocked about seeing Inception though. It looks fantastic. Very exciting stuff.

So I am working on cleaning up a few of my older works to get them out there door. It’s a little slow going, but I’m ok with that. I have another old novel I was working on about seven years ago that I’ve pulled out of the folder and started rethinking. I think I can start committing more time to my writing after July. So hopefully you’ll see more work come out of me.

Publications however, are beyond my control. I’m doing my best to get more work polished and out the door, but there’s not much I can do about not getting acceptances, accept try to write better.
