Hey Everyone:
I've missed being here, and I hope this post finds you all well and happy. I just wanted to get back in and apologize for my absence. I see that some things have changed around here since I was in last...I'm diggin' the new stuff!
My life has been crazed for the last several months. I have been working like a fiend completing the manuscript for my new book, as well as writing on several other projects as well. I also have a book of autobiographical short stories in the works, as well as a novel that is still in it's early stages. I have also been in search of a new publisher that will better promote it when it comes out. Unfortunately, I lost money on the last project I did, because the publisher did not give me any help at all in promoting it. Sooo...the search for a new publisher goes on!
On the musical front, I am getting ready for round two of shopping my demos to as many indie labels as I can. I tried a while back, but all I got for the effort was a stack of polite rejection letters...you know the kind..."Thanks for letting us review your material, unfortunately, it does not suit our needs at the present time"....blah, blah, blah. But I am too stubborn...or maybe just too stupid to give up...I have not decided which! LOL
Outside of my work, I have had a pretty eventful existence otherwise too. I celebrated my 35th B-day on January 19. I celebrated by attending a concert by the group Queensryche. Had a blast!
I took a trip to New York City this past June, which I enjoyed immensely. I fell completely in love with the place, in fact. My favorite places to visit were Central Park, and Times Square. I hope to go back this summer again...if both time and finances permit!
On a less pleasant note, I had a real scare when my younger brother got into a car accident after falling asleep behind the wheel. Fortunately, his injuries were very minor, though. He suffered only a very minor concussion. I THANK GOD he wasn't hurt any worse, and also that he did not hurt anyone else. He was SO LUCKY!
Well, I guess that about catches everyone up on what I have been doing. I look forward to hearing from all of you and catching up on what everyone else has been up to, as well as the goings on around here.
Peace,
