Wow!!! Look at how long it's been since I posted here...
I REALLY have to apologize for neglecting this blog. Life and work schedule just completely swallowed me up the last several weeks, enmeshing me in a spidery web of gotta-dos that completely engulfed me and held me captive.
And even worse than being an absent blogger, I accomplished almost no writing at all. It's a bit late to go over them in a dedicated post, but suffice it to say that my September writing goals basically went up in flames. But the good news is that I'm not behind on any of my October goals -- simply because I never had the time to sit down and put any together. Aspire to nothing and you'll achieve it every time, LOL!
About the only writing-related task I was able to (barely) stay on top of was to keep up with the voting on DL Hammond's WRiTE Club 2012 contest. When the times force me to have to choose, I tend to focus on commitments I made to other people more so than those I made to myself, and I'd vowed to Don to take part in the contest. Plus, while DL is an old and very good friend that I'm honored to support, I also entered the contest, so I also have a bit of a selfish reason for staying involved. But I won't discuss my entry until the contest is over, so that's all I'm going to say about that, other than I do encourage you to visit DL's blog and take part in the fun. The prelims finish with just one more bout, and then the 36 prelim winners will go at it head-to-head in the next round beginning Monday -- spread out over three blogs: DL's, Julie Dao's, and Tiana Smith's.
But, I think that while life will still continue to be a bit hectic, I think I've managed to break free of the web, at least some. I think I'll at least be able to once again be more of an active blogger moving forward. I hope.
Still, if you ever visit here and don't see me comment or update very often, please know that I do very much appreciate your visit and always welcome your comments and input. Or if you're one of the many fellow bloggers whose blogs I try to visit and enjoy, please don't take my absence from commenting on your blog as a sign that I no longer care -- I do. I simply wish I had more hours in the day, and more days in the week...
So, let's see:...What else? Oh -- I had been running my "Quest for Story" series, and while it's taken much, MUCH longer than I had planned to finish it, I do plan to do so. There are just two posts left, after all, so I'm hoping to have them up here very soon.
Well, I think that's it for now. Gotta keep moving lest I get snared again... ;^)
Thanks!
Chris
