Wow! So my last post was in 2009! I had written a few articles for Suite101 with the intention of using them as a springboard to great success as a writer. I read a couple of books about making a fortune with writing, but it obviously takes a lot more work than luck to make that happen (surprise!).

So, now I'm working for a nonprofit that taps my energy and sometimes even my soul... so I try writing around the edges, sacrificing real constructive writing time for a bi-weekly paycheck that my family appreciates. My current writing projects include a few plays and a couple of short stories. Bigger projects that I don't have enough time to sustain include a ghostwriting project about Elvis returning to Earth to fortell the second coming of Christ, and my own novel called "Return to Blue Cove." I'm actually 190 pages into "Elvis Lives" and it's a great story with some biblical parallels that compliment the real Elvis' religious side, but what meager time I have for writing is spent on someone else's project rather than my own, and at some point I'm going to have to change that.

But, for right now, I will keep writing about Elvis in the hope that I will finish it in 2012 and get a chance to finish my own book in 2013.

I intend to post more often as I travel this road -- sometimes it will be venting and sometimes it will be crowing! Nobody reads this blog anyway, so it won't matter what I say 'cause nobody will see it! :)
