Fly-By: Busy Time!

HALP plz to send cawfee and/or sweets asap

Oof!  Between the end of Q4 sneaking up on me at the Day Job, and giving myself some insane writing deadlines over the next few months, I don’t have too much time to spare for any blog posts of quality.  And I’d rather not post something half-assed here (I mean, aside from the occasional silly fly-by post like this one to let you know I’m still here and functioning) if I can help it.  Sorry about that.

Thanks for your patience, I hope to be a little more on track soon! 🙂

Fly-By: Returning the week of the 26th

Hey gang! Sorry to be so elusive here lately…Day Jobbery and preparing for next week’s vacation has been keeping me busy (not to mention Doing All the Editing in my spare moments), so alas, I have not been able to follow up with any posts on a reasonable schedule.

Man, I really hate 4th Quarter when it comes to the day job.  It completely screws with my writing schedule.  [Not to say I hate the job, per se…just the volume and intensity that messes everything up.]

Once I return from our vacation, everything should be back to normal.

See you then!

Fly-By: London Calling

Oh, hi there! Yes, I am still here among the living. We’re currently staying in a nice quiet hotel in the Earl’s Court neighborhood of London, and we’ve been doing all sorts of sightseeing, museum visiting, and pub crawling the last few days.

I admit I don’t currently have any new posts at the moment other than this fly-by, but I have some things going in the background that I shall share soon enough. I’ve also been getting a decent amount of page count for the new MU story as of late.  It’s been a busy but fun vacation so far!

Talk to you soon, yeah?

Fly-By: brb, heading to Worldcon!

Hi All,

Sorry for the delay in posts here, it’s been a busy couple of weeks!  We will be heading to the UK at the end of this week for Worldcon, so I will most likely not be able to provide any updates until I return.

[There is the temptation to post from the UK, as I will be bringing my tablet with me, but that will ultimately depend on if I have the time in between the convention and doing all the goofy touristy things one does on vacation.  We shall see.]

Thanks for your patience!

Fly-by post – Yes, I’m still here!

My apologies for not updating here over the last few weeks!  It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, between work-related issues and deadlines as well as getting some serious work done on my Walk in Silence book outline, so I’m afraid I haven’t had the time to keep this updated.

As of now, I’m where I want to be with the WiS work at the moment, and things should quiet down considerably on the work end of things.  Which means I have absolutely no reason not to be updating these more often.

SO!

Starting now, I’m hoping to have at least one update a week here, and perhaps update even more once soon after.  I still have quite the backlog of posts I have planned–they’re staring me in the face on a clipboard above my desk as we speak–so I hope to get these out to you as soon as I can.

I appreciate your patience–I’ll be back soon!

Fly-By: Coming Soon

Hey there!  Sorry to keep you all waiting for new entries here at Welcome to Bridgetown…I’ve been busy with a number of things both personal and otherwise, so I haven’t had the time to sit down and do some serious writing about the Mendaihu Universe, or about writing in general.

That said, after the Easter holiday, I plan on getting back on the high horse and posting new entries here and at Walk in Silence as well.  Here’s a few offerings I have in store:

–On Spiritualism: the One of All Sacred and other deities in the Mendaihu Universe

–On Language in the Mendaihu Universe:  speaking and innerspeak

–On Faith in the Mendaihu Universe: the Personal and the Religious

–On Dialogue:  Realism versus conversation

–On Conlangs in Fiction: When should a writer use it?

 

Stay tuned! 🙂
