OT: Chatter
« on: December 20, 2003, 12:21:20 am »
I figured we could use a chatter thread.  I could be wrong.

Anyway, I finally watched the Two Towers DVD and saw the Return of the King in the theater.  So, now I'm back to work on Old Gods as promised.

I've been rididulously busy lately.  I'm a senior in high school, taking AP Chemistry, and Honors Calc I. Both are 'accelerated' courses.  (this is new for me).  Monday nights I have my Civil Air Patrol meetings, tuesday nights I work 4:30-9:30, wednesday and thursday I volunteer from end of school at 2 till 4:30 at a local grammar school helping kids get ready for the MCAS (Mass Comprehensive Assessment Test) test.  Friday is free day.  Saturday from 9-5:30 is Civil Air Patrol Drill team meetings.  Sunday is workin time from 11am - 9:30pm.  In my free time I do my homework and such.  Except for this friday, I got my wisom teeth out.  You can imagine how upset I am right now, missin all this stuff I need to do.  

I DO however have a brand new Star Wars fic in the works, with less ship to ship stuff.  A new trend for me, I know.

Well, as I mentioned on another board, I've been dealing with a broken foot,. When it was placed in a cast, it triggered a claustrophobic reaction that's resulted in a wave of  extremely paral\yzing anxiety attacks.

Since then, my ability to write has been reduced to nearly nothing. Two weeks ago, I switched to a boot cast. Psychologically this helped immeasurably- I'm no longer abasket case - but both legs are painfully stiff, and there's a small infection on the injured foot. As I'm diabetic, this is more worrisome than it would be for most people. I'm taking antibiotics.

Most of my time is spent dealing with the injury, seeing councillers so I can get my mental state to a place where this won't happen again, pursuing disability benefits, and clinging desperately to friends for support in times of need..

A few months ago, Hero published VIPER: Fangs of the Serpent, which I co-wroite with Steve Long. I made a contribution to a Warcraft RPG book and to a game called Cybergladiators by Firefly Games. Beyond that, I'm talking to Green Ronin about a new project, have Villainy Amok scheduled for Hero late next year, and I'm desperately trying to get my Gestalt Universe Champions book into print.

So that's where I stand at the moment. Worst Christmas in a long time.

Well I'm looking forward to seeing anything you put out.  I've liked the LoTR stuff but the FLGS here never got Testament and won't special order.  I guess the "F" is relative there.  

On the other side of things, we're remodeling the kitchen which has cost more than we hoped.  I had a Gibson Les Paul that I just sold to cover the cost.  I haven't been playing it lately so I don't really feel the loss.  And the kitchen looks very nice.

I'm just happy for a few days off around Christmas.  Between by part time work and my freelancing I haven't got to take a breath in what seems like forever.  I've written, but it's mostly been on notebook paper at work and now I have to transcribe it...

Got two 'La'ra project's in the oven, actually, though I'm not sure how long it'll be before I can post them.
