Sort of back

I'm back from traveling. Its always so nice to sleep in my own bed, but I miss having something really new to do each day.

My August goal was to "finish something" and I'm plugging away at a first draft. It won't be finished this month (or even close), but I've committed to sticking it out.

I've only finished one novel length piece and its out in the beta reader world, hopefully being ripped to shreds. I'm worried that I only have the one book in me.

I've been trying to write some short stories to work on the mechanics of writing and editing, but couldn't find anything that worked. So I'm 10,000 or so words into the next book. I haven't really plotted it all out yet, because I find if I do that I don't want to write the book, after all I already know what's going to happen. Yet another thing I'm hoping to overcome.

Anyway, here's a picture of a humpback whale fluke. I recommend whale watching or even better, visit these people.

Been Busy

It's the end of the school year, which means the only thing I've been doing is making sure students are ready for their exams.

I haven't been writing much because of it and I'm feeling frustrated because of it. Next week should be better.

I am working on another storyline, but its still to nebulous to tell if its going to work.
