I haven’t been keeping up well lately and I apologize. i’ve been working away at web based things such as monetizing some other blogs (and this one too a bit) so that I can spend the next several months writing and doing some artwork, as well as enjoying some of the great outdoors I love so much here.
Swapbot has been down for me for the last two days. Weird. I am, at long last, pretty well caught up and maybe – by tomorrow – a bit ahead on swaps. Whew. I don’t think I’m going to sign up for any more public swaps at all. I’m even dropping the Animal Alphabet series. Seems like if I send digital work I get a minimum rating and snarky comments. If I send carefully handdrawn work – I get no feedback or rating at all. It’s been real, it’s been fun. It hasn’t been real fun most of the time. I did meet some great people though, and hope to remain friends with them.
The older computer is really wrestling me over opening a manuscript written on an even older computer. If I ever get it open, I’ll have to wrestle it onto this newest computer so I can edit and I think finish it (I seem to recall it doesn’t have an ending). The writing, in the long run, may take the least amount of time! Once this oldie is finally finished and edited, I’ll start shopping for a publisher for it, and chose my next project. Meanwhile, I’ll be doing short stories and articles for the blogs. I’m thinking about an agent…let someone else fight those publisher monsters for me.
I woke up early today. Maybe that means I’ll accomplish something other than just watching the race 
Have a great weekend
