Well, that was interesting

I realized this morning that I no longer have any interest in being in a relationship.

Or rather, I've put such an event in the same category as winning the lottery. It's not going to happen and I'm not going to waste time, money or emotional energy on it.

Interesting.

I love it

When people say nice things about my work. Especially when they are people I like or admire.

Last night I was doing an author's chat with my co-author, Celina Summers.

She had just read my latest e-book, Gillian's Place. She said it was one of the five best books she read this year.

That made me feel good.

Another update

I'm really digging my new project. My fellow author at Aspen Mountain Press, Celina Summers and I are working on a historical vampire novel. I'm writing the hero's parts and Celina is doing the heroine's.

It's a real challenge. Partly because it's hard to keep up with Celina, she's a writing machine.

It's also a challenge because I'm pushing my boundaries. The hero is type I've avoided, a real alpha male. And the work will be a novel in length, another thing I've never done before.

I'm very much enjoying being excited about what I'm working on. It's been a while.

Update

Things seem to be turning around.

I've gotten back into the habit of sleeping all night. Damn, that's nice.

And my new writing project is coming along nicely. It's hard keeping up with my co-author though. She's a bleeding writing machine. *wink*

Life's good.

Update

Monday was Turkey Day here in Canada. Had a great time at my sister's. Ate, drank and talked. Some of my favorite things.

We had an election yesterday. The outcome wasn't a surprise. Thanks to gerrymandering, attack ads and a rather unethical use of taxpayer's money the neo-Marxists, sorry, Conservatives, improved their position. At least they've still got a minority.

The pliable party, I mean the Liberals, kinda took it in the balls. Not surprising. The guy leading them is a nice guy and very smart but a piss poor leader.

The silver spoon socialists, I mean the NDP, improved their standing. Unfortunately they don't represent the blue collar workers and farmers that they used to. In some ways it's not surprising as there's a lot less of those people in Canada than there used to be. But somebody has to be concerned about the lives of those folk that are involved with physical labor. Everybody else depends on them.

Ah well. C'est la vie.

On the positive side I've started a new writing project. I'm working with another author at one of my e-publishers on a historical vampire novel (we hope) set in 1788 London. I'm writing the hero's part and she's doing the heroine's. I was very flattered when she insisted that I be her co-author. She's a very good and prolific writer. I hope I'll be able to hold up my end of the bargain.

That's it. Have a good one.

Sigh

I do believe it's time to go back to the doctor.

I cannot seem to get my sleeping habits under control and neither can I seem to chase away the dark funk I'm in these days.

Crap.

Sigh

Insomnia strikes again.

Today's going to be a long day of peering through a mask of fatigue and trying to nap.

Sigh.
