Sort of Back

Remember me? I used to write pretty nice blog posts, here, though I've been gone for about as long as this blog actually functioned.

New job starts tomorrow, so I'm turning my attention back onto this blog.

I also finished this draft of a fantasy novel, last week. Preliminary feedback from my friends (who happen to be excellent critics and have no qualms about telling me when I, uh, flunk) seems decent, so far. Lord willing, the next draft will only involve minor edits, and I might be bringing that already-written query letter out for air come the new year!

…Or I might wait another year and finish another project in the interim, then go back to this one with fresh eyes. I've not decided yet. I'd kinda like to have a few done by the time I query, so I can have minimum "down" time if one or two can't sell. I do write odd stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if it's hard to find someone willing to do anything more than look askance at it, like people tend to look at me when I tell them the premises. (Some even have that wide-eyed get-away response. No joke.)

Eh, well. I'll be attemting to resurrect the Wed/Sat postings for now, and pick up this month finishing the proofreading tips… assuming I can find my notes to remember everything I was planning to post. *grin* In either case, I'm working on post backups.
