General Update on Things and Stuff

I am a busy little bee. I turned in a large paper to my professor as part of my MFA program last weekend. We'll see if he thinks it needs revisions or not. Regardless, the research is done and the lion's share of the writing is done, ergo, I can move on and do other things.

First things first, I'll be under contract very, very soon with Nightshade and I've got two books to polish into perfection.

I think I'll finally have a chance to spend some quality time with this book, soon:
