Adjusting and maladjusted

These last two weeks have been pretty hectic for me.  I am trying to figure out how to balance my work, writing and keep an eye on our now-11 week old son.  Needless to say, the writing has taken a back seat.

In the last week, I have managed to stretch my Oz story out to 2,500 words and it’s looking to be a 4,000 worder or so.  I hope to wrap it up by the end of the week.

I have also managed to write rough drafts of the final 2 chapters of Broken Skies which inches me even closer to finally finishing it.  I’ve also edited about 80 whole pages of Darklights but, in the flurry of everything that has been these past 2 weeks, have no real recollection of doing so.

I am also working out a few poems for a poetry anthology I was invited to contribute to.  I’ve mentioned this project before, but the editor wants it to remain top secret for now.  Which makes being involved in it pretty cool, obviously.

Speaking of poetry, I received word yesterday that my poem “Autopsy” has made it to the shortlist at A Cappella Zoo.  I should get a final response by the end of the month.

Also, be sure to check out my latest work-related rants in my latest guest-post over at Freelance Writerville.

Now I’m back to work.  I’ll blog again when I have time to resurface.
