I haven&#39;t posted on this thing since &#8230; uhm the end of October.  That&#39;s pretty bad, granted, but honestly, I don&#39;t feel as bad as I should.  Near as I can tell I&#39;m the only human being who pays any attention to this so the only one I&#39;ve been letting down is myself.  Ok&#8230;now I feel worse, but not all that much.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, things have happened since October.  November happened for instance.  The only period of time that I really don&#39;t feel guilty about not updating since I was neck deep in participating in and finishing National Write a Novel month.  Technically, I didn&#39;t win, since I didn&#39;t actually start a novel but rather continued writing Impervious.  What I did do was write 50,100 words in one month, and I feel pretty damn good for that.  I completed the whole second arc of Impervious and got into the third and final act of the story.  <\/p>\n<p>Then I took a break in December.  And most of January.  So, fantastic success followed up by laziness.  In my defense, I was getting used to a new work schedule that includes an hour commute.  I&#39;m getting into more of the swing of things now, but I get home late enough that I don&#39;t have loads of time every night for writing like I used to.  I&#39;m not making excuses here, just relating how my minds been working on things.<\/p>\n<p>So, there&#39;s not going to be any more excuses.  This month I&#39;m doing a 25k word month and that should be more than sufficient to finish the first draft of Impervious.  Following that I&#39;m going to do a second and third draft of The Hard Truth, then start in on the second draft of Impervious.  The first draft is so rough that I don&#39;t know how long it will take to finish, but when I&#39;m pretty excited for what its going to become.  Next November I plan on doing NaNoWriMo right; starting a brand new novel and pounding out whatever I can on it, probably an urban fantasy that I&#39;ve had bouncing around in my head.<\/p>\n<p> Today though, I&#39;m getting the blog started back up, and doing some writing for Impervious and for Edge of December.  We&#39;re going to have some Edge news coming up pretty soon here, so stay tuned.  You know, if anyone can hear me.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;\" id=\"blogsy_footer\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogsyapp.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogsyapp.com\/images\/blogsy_footer_icon.png\" alt=\"Posted with Blogsy\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" \/>Posted with Blogsy<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alright.
