So sorry for the absence! Needless to say, I've been very, very indisposed at my day job! Having several people move on to different ventures in life has put an incredible strain on our personnel, which in turn has cut my lunches to half an hour. And as anybody knows, my lunch is when I write, and with only half the time, I can barely do a tenth of the work.
Progress on book 2 has been for lack of a better term; disappointing. Chapter 5 has finally been ironed out in terms of scenes, but getting it down has been tough. Between marketing B.S. and writing this, I've stretched myself quite thin and often wonder if every indie author went through this. For me, the most frustrating part is the overall sense that my day job has become a waste of time when compared to what I need to do to get Betrayer's Sigil done.
That's right :) I've finally got a title for the second book. Betrayer's Sigil it is, beating out Magister's Sigil and Shattered Sigil. I'm really looking forward to getting this one out to my beta reader, but I want to make sure its a little more refined.
In addition to BS2, I've taken up the Rushfit program! That's right, the fat new me is going on a venture to get the fit old me back! Starting up was nothing less than excruciating. I nearly heaved halfway through the first day's workout and barely scraped through the second day (which was only cardio). So far I've made it through the first week and I'm already seeing the following results:
-My bad knee doesn't hurt as much anymore.
-Vast improvement in posture. No, not kidding, I sit, stand, and move in a much more economical way.
-I'm falling asleep at my old bedtime. Not sure if this is bad or good, but hey, more sleep isn't bad right?
-I'm waking up at 6 in the morning, yet feeling no sluggishness or fatigue later in the day. Honestly, my goal is to shoot for 5:30.
Again, I apologize for the massive absence, but I promise to be more active! It's taken awhile for me to really nail what I want to put on this blog. Screw "All Writing, All Day, Every Week", this is going to be my thoughts and reviews on all things.
Speaking of which, my next entry will be about: The Transformers Movies, Kids, and Criticisms -- Why I Think the Adults Have Got It All Wrong.
Have a good night everybody!
