Starfest


My wife and I spent Friday snowed in and sick. Denver had one of the largest snowstorms that I can remember. Especially at this time of year. It started Friday and went prettymuch thru early evening Saturday. Not sure on the totals, but I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get 2 feet in places. That didn't stop us from going to Starfest Saturday, which was kinda awesome. I handed out free copys of SLASH and The Hunger and when no one was looking put a bunch of flyers on a table for the web site. We'll see if that generates some hits!

I haven't had a chance to write since Thursday, both life and my day job have gotten in the way, but I did manage to do about 50 pages or so last week. Total word count is at about 33K words, so I'm nearly halfway there. After 2 weeks! The harrowing adventures of Duke Johnson in the Trailer Park against the zombie horde continues.
Currently reading "Drood" by Dan Simmons. Normally I'm a huge Simmons fan but I'm finding this one very hard to get into. When he's telling the actual story I'm eating it up but you can tell Simmons did a ton of research for it and he feels it necessary to tell you how and what they ate for meals and every single detail of every single minute of Dickens life. I hate to say it, but I find myself skipping over a bunch. I'm reading it on the Kindle, so no idea how far I'm in the book (this much!) but it seems like the main story should be getting into gear long before now and it really kinda hasn't. I'll power thru tho.
Off to write!
