Today is a better day.

Perspective. Today is all about perspective. It’s been a background process, figuring this out.

“Oh, the important still forces its way through your thick skull when it comes down to the wire, doesn’t it, Herod?” – Madness, the Teacher

I remembered writing that phrase less angrily. But, then, Madness was being a bit defensive.

I have an awesome job that is paying my bills, will allow me to catch up financially, and to finally stop playing catch-up. I have fun at my job, doing something that I love to do.

I am well loved.

Everything can be taken care of, all I need to do is give issues the time they deserve, and work to get them done. Finishing moving stuff into my apartment, re-discovering my spiritual center, getting a coherent and logical budget set up (after the holidays, thankyouverymuch), reviewing my writing goals, setting up timelines to finish pieces, and getting them done. Hell, I’m already hitting a Sci-Fi con in January, and plan to have somewhere between 5 and 10 books to sell there. I may even end up on some panels. CRAZINESS! *flails arms wildly about*

Oh, and looks like Everybody Reads is sold out of The Remembrance, so until they order more, they’ll only be available at full price through Lulu, Amazon, or your local book store. I’ll have them for $15 at ConFusion, and at subsequent conventions. :)

Since May 6, 2006, there have been 89 copies of The Remembrance printed. As far as I know, I have the only copy that hasn’t been sold to someone. That’s not half bad for a first novel, self-published, and self-marketed. I best get back on that horse.

Where was that letter that I was going to send to Shaman Drum in Ann Arbor…
