I am back to writing, now that I've finished the crap I had to spend all January working on. Thank all of you who dropped encouraging notes while I was otherwise occupied. They were much appreciated.
The next chapter is with my editors, so I hope to post it by the end of the week. There is more to follow, I assure you. I have no intention of stopping now.
On another note, one of my favorite authors is coming out with a new novel this summer. Neal Stephenson's next book: Fall, or Dodge in Hell is coming out in June. If you are unfamiliar with Neal's work, I encourage you to check it out. Everything from Snow Crash (the birth of the Digital Age) to Cryptonomicon (which takes place both in the present and during WW II.) And it looks like this next book will be of the "brain uploaded to a simulated environment" type. Neal's always got an interesting take on things, so it'll be fun seeing how he approaches the topic.
Anyway, I'm still progressing with the story, I hope you continue to enjoy it.
