Back to Regular Updates...

Well now that the semester is getting ready to start, I am going to go back to updating this once a week - specifically on Tuesday/Wednesday. I will also have a nice new little treat in store for the blog but more on that later.

K, so I posted “Somewhere Between Life and Death” earlier this summer. I spent about a month after that polishing it and weeding it until I had a really nice and clean copy. At the beginning of July, I submitted it to the RomanceJunkies Story Contest after being pointed that way by an Editor and Author I had been talking to. The contest is run by RomanceJunkies, but their readers are the people who decide who goes on. Currently they are no longer accepting submissions. Every week they post three of the submissions and the readers vote on the favorite. Once all the stories have been voted on they will take the winners from each week and post them up at once for another round of voting. The top three from that will go on to an Editor at TOR Publishing who will decide the Grand Prize winner. The Grand Prize is a netbook, which would be interesting. Other than that, I have heard a few things here and there that maybe the winner might get published too. Who knows?

The Summer had it’s Up and Downs but for once I am happy it’s over and that classes will be starting soon. Mainly though I am looking forward to having Kayla back as well as all my close friends. I am still constantly trying to talk Pat into dropping everything in Monett and coming back here but as always he is waiting till it’s a sure thing. Dubya and Hev have a possibility of coming down this way if one of the businesses here higher him. Lizzard is off doing who knows what. All in all though I am mainly looking forward to most of my friends coming back, especially Kayla.

Originally the plan was I would go down and get Kayla this weekend and help her move her stuff back here. Though it looks like the plan now is that she and Brit are going to bring as much as they can next Sunday and then sometime next week Kayla and I will go get the rest. I’m just ecstatic to have her back.

Looks like Charity is having the same computer issues I had awhile back, so when she gets back I am gonna head over and help her with that. Also Chelsea and I are planning to start working out and exercising regularly this semester in the new Gym like center they have constructed. I’m thinking about having a look at it next week (I think it opens up on Monday).

Also and this is the treat I mentioned earlier. Soon this blog will start hosting my first Webcomic. It will be written by me and drawn by my friend Tom, so we’ll see how that goes. It’ll take awhile before it shows up. I only have a louse idea on what it’s to be about and I don’t know how often Tom will be able to draw on it. Still though, it’s exciting!

Anyways that’s all for now! Laters!
