Cruel Summer...TL/DR
DepressedThe good things that have happened so far are as follows:
-Saw an amazing ballet production starring my cousin who graduated this year
-Found an awesome place to stay down here in Moscow with some of my friends
-Had fun with the Ratchet&Clank series
-Taught a high school English class and signed books
-Got started on writing my next book again
The bad things that have happened so far are as follows:
-I CANNOT FIND A FREAKING JOB THIS SUMMER
-The water here smells horribly of sulfur
-"Familiarity breeds contempt" is actually quite true
-In order to make rent, I have to 'donate' plasma (Needles the size of the Chrysler building)
-I seem to be getting out of shape for some odd reason
-I seem to be developing seasonal allergies (itching eyes FAIL)
-Running out of money... had to sell my silver investments in order to eat
As we speak, I am subsisting on rice and one last box of chicken and some sulfuric water. As we speak, I am filling out job applications. As we speak, we're not actually speaking, you're just reading something I typed. So my weeks have been full of waiting to hear back from places I put in, putting in applications at more places, and occasionally playing a game of DnD. Oh, and writing, which is actually going okay. The thing at the high school got me all fired up to write again. It turns out I have a squealing fangirl who has read my book three times. Awesome.
Oh, and Marcher Lord Press will be running a promotion on my book this summer, including as bonus material an additional 'lost' chapter that was cut out of the final draft of my first book. I really liked it, and it was about 10,000 words worth of adventure and character development... of some people only loosely connected to the plot. So of course, it was cut. But if you want to hear more about the wolf-people in my book, the Istaka, this promo is the time to buy my book. Just a teaser, the chapter is titled "From Pansy to Paladin."
That's about it. I must go eat something before my stomach implodes. TTFN.

Great timing on the add though, you're going to get bombarded by the six-parter short story I wrote.

"I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!"
