This is how I roll. No really, I’m gonna get down on the floor and roll around, all Homer-like.

Or not.

Issue 3 of theSteven fiction has been posted on the site. This issue introduces Steven’s progeny, Blaize. She’s as creepy as he is, with just a tad more viciousness and a penchant for retribution. She features heavily in the developing story. In fact, I’m writing as much about her as I am about Steven in the third story arc. And all thanks to .

I’m keeping the momentum going. I was able to write on both of my lunch breaks for the past two days, though they were pretty truncated. I had intended on writing yesterday after my blood donation, but first I stayed too late at work to make my donation appointment (must reschedule!) and then I had the opportunity to hang out with , so I did. Good times. Politics, semantics, extolling the virtues of mushrooms, and gaming talk. We spent far too much time in a booth at Denny’s, but isn’t that really just the way of things? The Tao of Denny’s?

Good lord, my writery posts are beginning to eclipse my random-life-update posts, horoscope posts, and quizzes. What the hell? You’d think I was focusing on being a writer or something…

I know that this is a recurring theme, but I really should take my own advice more often. What would I do with myself if I finished Steven? What would I do with myself if I had two major writing projects under my belt, instead of just one? It’s definitely time to find out. I started, and finished, writing the fiction behind Issue 19 this weekend.

Not only that, but I seem to have come up with a crazy, wacky, zany idea about getting it to print. I’ve been working on this Steven idea since 2003, and the idea of it seeing print makes me all tingly. I went to bed after writing, got up the next morning -thinking about writing-. I didn’t putz around or waste time, I went straight to writing again. This is good.

I’ll be putting the next issue worth of Steven fiction up in the next day or so. If you’ve got comments about it, or any of the other stuff I’ve posted up for your reading pleasure, I’m very interested. Comments here, or posts in the Google Group would really help me improve, I think. And that’s really what I’m going for. I’m trying to be a better writer. :)

Chest x-ray was a success. Quick and painless has been my general experience at Sparrow, except for that one time. Anyway, in and out, and my Doc should have those nifty pictures soon, so I can make an appointment to have another sleep study done. I wonder if I should do the pics, like did. Would probably make a sweet LJ icon.

I just filled out the American Community Survey. It’s pretty strange to get a piece of mail that says YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY LAW. Now that the U.S. Mail is a corporation instead of a governmental body, I have to wonder if the Census Bureau has to pay them for all of this heavy postage. Either way, I’m not paying for it. (The last sentence has been brought to you by Typical American Responses, Inc.)

WinAmp is kicking iTunes’ butt. I’m just sayin’.

There’s more stuff up at the writery site. For serious. I’m continuing to slap up the fiction behind the upcoming comic, lovingly entitled Steven. I’m thinking of subtitling it Schizophrenic Vampire with Delusions of Grandeur -or- Angel of Thirst. I miss those dual secondary titles from back in the day. And we wonder where literary dualism comes from. (Or do we?)

Maybe I should finish Book 3 of the Steven fiction. But, then two major projects would be completed! What would I do with myself?

The fiction at the Steven web site has been updated.

The Matron and her brood are in Steven’s territory, and Steven has decided to play.

There have been all kinds of writery things going on lately, and it’s extremely exciting.

and I are going to WindyCon in November! Chicago-area sci-fi/fantasy fandom, here I come. We’re bringing books, teasers, hopefully some ribbons, and the intent to wow them with how awesome I am. Er, my book is. Heh.

The Steven page has been updated with new behind-the-script fiction. If you’ve been keeping up on it, this is the first part where any consequences start to become important.

I am all signed up for National Novel Writing Month. If you’re not familiar, I’ll be attempting to write an entire novel in one month. Yes, indeed, it’s the sequel to The Remembrance.

There are all kinds of updates to my home page, mostly around the “Where’s Dave” section. There are now pictures of each of the events that I’ve been to so far. Not only that, but you can leave comments or discuss the pics that are there. Check it out if you get a few moments. Also, all of these announcements went out a while ago on the Google Group (mailing list), so if you’re interested, or if you have a friend who would be, feel free to sign up.

I think that’s it on the writer front. I haven’t been making a lot of time for writing, but I’ve been sick as a dog for the last couple of weeks, recovering and then not. But that’s another post. :)
