Today I was supposed to finish the second draft of Sholpan,<\/em> but I moved apartments this weekend, so everything got thrown completely out of whack.\u00a0 I’m all moved into my new place now (with some awesome Quarkie roommates), but Sholpan<\/em> is going to have to wait until Monday.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I’ve only got a couple of new scenes to write, then touch up the rest to make sure it fits the novella storyline.\u00a0 I got in touch with my copy editor, and he should be able to have them for me by mid-September.\u00a0 If all goes well, I’ll send it out to a couple of my first readers to give it a pass, make the fixes, and then send it out to Josh and have it up about a month from now.<\/p>\n

I’ve gotten some amazing responses for “Memoirs of a Snowflake” in the past week, and it’s gotten almost 2,000 downloads on Amazon so far.\u00a0 Not bad!\u00a0 However, while rereading it, I noticed an error: in the author’s note, I said that I wrote the story in December of 2008, when really it was 2007.\u00a0 I must have been thinking “winter of 2008” when I wrote it the first time.\u00a0 In any case, I’ve made the corrections, so it should be up on Amazon in 24 hours, and all the other sites before the end of the month (since I distribute to them through Smashwords).<\/p>\n

Also, another piece of encouraging news: the boss at the temp job I’ve been working the past few months wants to hire me!\u00a0 If that works out, I should have steady work at least through into 2012.\u00a0 I’m hoping they’ll let me work part time, since that would help me juggle the writing career a lot better, but this is their busy season so I might have to work 40+ hour weeks for a while.\u00a0 Still, it’s better than starving.<\/p>\n

Which reminds me: my first royalty check from Amazon comes in next month, and to celebrate, I’m going to crack open that bottle of Martinelli’s from Charlie<\/a> and throw a small party.\u00a0 More on that later.<\/p>\n

Finally, I found this the other day while trawling youtube for good trance tunes.\u00a0 It’s a remix of “Are We Human?” by the Killers, done by Armin Van Buuren.\u00a0 Everything Armin touches seems to turn to gold, and this is no exception.\u00a0 Check it out!<\/p>\n
