Halfway done with the revisions on the 2nd novel. So we're moving along. Can't wait until it's over and I can move on from this project and get back to one of my 4 novels-in-progress...yee gads. Imagine that: closure; fruition; completion of even one of those projects and I would feel incredibly free. For a change. So we shall see.

2008 is going pretty well so far. I know, it's only January 8th. But still. I'm capable of having everything derail at a moment's notice, so 8 uninterrupted days of non-hell is a pretty decent achievement for me, one worth celebrating. However, I gave up drinking over Christmas, mostly to help ease the constant depression and to keep the weight off, so I should come up with another outlet for celebrating. Perhaps the "S" word -- the one that's followed by "ex" although it would seem a lot more celebratory if someone besides just me were involved. (I guess I'm taking applications again, so polish up those resumes, gang!)

Actually, while sex is great, I get plenty of sex. I think what I'm looking for is to fall in love again. So, I'm still accepting applications but the job description just changed considerably. And you have to, well, not enjoy cats necessarily, but be able to tolerate constantly being in the same room with them without their actually liking you in any way; and you have to be willing to listen to me struggle along with my French. If you can endure that while maintaining a happy disposition then the perks become too numerous to list here. So give it your best shot, guys & gals, and I promise to approach each and every applicant with a totally open mind! (The one I am famous for, if you believe any of my back cover copy!)

You can't beat that.

There has been a bit of news from others but sadly I've been way too busy and distracted to keep it updated here on the blog. But I will get it all back on track here soon. Meanwhile, I hope 2008 is treating you very nicely, wherever you are. Thanks for visiting, gang! See ya.
