One of my problems actually worked itself out. One of my best friends told me to just write and if nothing comes of it, so be it. I guess I lost my way and tried to take myself a little too seriously. The bottom line is that I enjoy writing and I will do it for the rest of my life whether I get paid for it or not.

That is one of the reasons that I am giving away my second novel on my other blog. It’s nice to blog and get things off my chest but fiction has always been my escape. I love that I can write about something and vent without hurting anyone’s feeling or worse yet, having to talk about things. If people could only see the things that will never see the light of day. I’ll have to trust one of my friends to destroy my laptop and journals if anything ever happens to me.

I went to the midnight show of Batman a couple of weeks ago. Even though I paid for it the next day, I enjoyed spending the time with my nephew. When he was younger, we would things like that all the time, but since he’s gotten older and I’ve had a family, we haven’t been able to spend much time together. It was great. He doesn’t know it, but he plays a significant role in my book, Mask of Shadows.

Work has been busy, but that’s nothing new. I’ve often said that my job is almost recession proof. The worse the economy gets, the busier we are. I am having a hard time finding the time to write. I did finish outlining the beginning of my newest thriller, Unreported. The middle is always the toughest part, but I’m having a good time connecting all of the dots. Heath Leger’s Joker was a great inspiration for my antagonist. My protagonist is a bit of a jerk as well. I am having a lot of fun with this book and I am really looking forward to finishing it. Sometimes I wish that I had a writing partner, someone who would keep me accountable.

Relationship things are . . . . Wow, it’s that late already! Gotta get dinner started. Look for another update before the end of the week.
