I'm here, I swears.

It's been awhile. I'm not ignoring you, I swear, blog of mine. Well, I kinda am. I used to have a program that came with my laptop that allowed me to just type a post and it would do it without logging in, but I haven't been able to find it online again.

I'm nearing the end of my re-imagining of my second novel. I just hit my 15k goal and am pushing past it. Listening to short-story podcasts, rocking out to several different bands, and overall spending most of my unemployment searching for retail managerial jobs and writing like crazy.

Is it just me or did this Christmas sneak up on everyone? It hasn't really felt like it's winter here in Oklahoma. There's been a couple ice days, but nothing really that big. No snow, some rain, and maybe three days that have dipped below 32 degrees. Kinda weak.

If you want to jump onto some of those short-story podcasts, I've been enjoying the following:

Podcastle - Fantasy (http://podcastle.org/)

Pseudopod - Horror (http://pseudopod.org/)

Escape Pod - Science Fiction (http://escapepod.org/)

Drabblecast - Weird Stuff (http://web.me.com/normsherman/Site/Podcast/Podcast.html)
