Running to catch up

 
I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve posted. It doesn’t really feel like I’m that busy, but every day has stuff that I have to take care of, and then I look around and it’s been over a week.

There are some personal projects — even aside from my *cough* slightly demanding work schedule — that I need to set as priority, but once I have a handle on that I really want to start writing again. I’ve done it before, as postings from prior deployments will indicate, but it’s a matter of getting my feet under me. Still 11-hour days, with occasional extra duty, and I know I can do more than I’m doing but I really don’t know where to get started.

Nonetheless, I can guarantee I’ll be posting a story within a week … because it’s already been written, I’m just holding it for a specific occasion. Once that’s been dealt with, it’ll be time to begin on whatever else I can do.

We’re doing our job over here, and it’s working. I wish I didn’t have to worry about my country falling apart before I can get back to it. Or being so forcibly altered that I’ll feel like an alien when I arrive.

[P.S.: I just got notice that “Family Skeletons” has been nominated at the Unlocked Awards”. This does not displease me. Check out the site, and be sure to nominate any stories you think deserving.]
