Writing is fun again-

-
It's only been four days since Inanimate Objects has been out, but it's already making people talk. And that's exactly what should be happening. And that makes it all worth while. Over the many years I.O. had been written and rewritten, through the many edits, and various Word version changes. (Actually, when This book was FIRST written, it was done on a Brother typewriter that was the newest thing because it had a screen on it, and you could type a whole sentence and see it before the machine would start typing. At the time, it was super cool.)

Anyway, all the work that went into this book is worth is when I start hearing people talk about it. Scenes and events in the story that only Steve and I have known of for 20 years, people are getting to experience.
And that right there just makes writing great.

I want say, although I've always loved writing (even tried to quit one time, but my heart wouldn't let me), it had lost a bit of the thrill through the years of struggling to find a publisher.
But now, as an indie author, and the popularity and success of eBooks, I'm able to release the books I write to fans, and they can actually be read, whereas before, that wasn't possible.
And over the past year, I have had more fun with my writing than I can remember.

With the success of Luthor and Blue Moon, The Rise of the Son, and now Inanimate Objects, I feel pretty damn good.

And it's only the beginning.

With Squish-Squash coming out next, then the 1st installment of the new erotica series, and the FINAL installment of the Blue Moon Saga, and part 2 of Inanimate Objects . . .
Hang on, it's gonna be a crazy ride because-
writing is fun again!

Just a quick hello-

-
As I sit here waiting to begin my work day, I wanted to just say a quick hello. As you can tell by the lack of a picture, I'm on my iPad, my new best friend. I never thought I would love the iPad as much as I do, but I do. I'm sill learning all the ins and outs, but I'm getting there. Things have been pretty much going in a steady forward motion for me. Steve is finally felling better, which always eases my mind tremendously. Book sales have been great. Work has been not as horrible as it usually is, so that's a nice change. And Buster, well, he's still his cute adorable self. The weather here in Austin has begun to slowly feel more like Texas weather; that is to say, it's getting hot as shit. I told myself, this year I would try and not get as stressed about the weather as I did last summer. I just have to keep it in my head that there is nothing I can do about it, and my time here gets shorter and shorter with each day that passes. Oh how I can't w...

Just full of giddiness!

Not sure if it's really all that manly to be full of giddiness, but I don't know of any other way to describe it.  One of the rules of blogging, especially for a writer, is not to bore your readers with the same old subject over and over.  But Luthor is a major part of my life right now, and things are beginning to change because of it. And the title of this blog is the daily ups and downs of  an up and coming writer, and over the past few years there have too many downs.  I am on the way up, and I'm gonna shout it from the top of a mountain (from the top of Pike's Peak, eventually). I just got done preparing a couple of packages for some people who have purchased signed copies of Luthor .  And as I was doing it, I was so happy. Actually over the past few weeks I have been so happy.  Sales have been great.  People have been talking to me about the book and telling me about the emotions it took them through and how if effected them.  Ea...

The light at the end of the tunnel-

-
(I'm doing this entry on my iPad, so I'm not able to add a picture.  Just imagine a cool shot of Colorado, please. ) As most of you know, our big goal is to get the hell out of Austin and up to the mountains of Colorado. Obviously we have to wait a couple of years until I retire with the City of Austin, The other day I got some good news: That goal got 6/7 months closer. I will be able to buy my sick time and move my date up! Nice! So by roughly September of 2014 I will be retiring! It seems weird to say those words. People tell me, "You can't retire, you're too young." The hell, I can't! You're never too young to retire, if you're able.  It's my reward for sticking with a job I didn't like most of the time for 23 years! Some also ask, "What are you going to do? You'll get bored." The hell I will! They forget: I'm a writer. I actually never thought I would retire with the City, because I always thought my caree...
