Lately life feels like it’s been moving past pretty quick and I haven’t had much time for blogging.  Anyhow, progress on Cog continues, moving into the revision phase now.  I have a new first chapter put together and I think I’ll probably keep it.  I think it gives a better feel for the character out of the gate.  When I get a chance, I’ll post up the original first chapter since it gives an idea of what the story is.

I’m still getting ideas for new scenes in Dead Mountain, my first novel. With the additions I’m thinking of, the new version will be too long for marketing to a lot of places. There could be some small press possibilities, and electronic self-publishing is always a possibility.

I’ve been watching some sci-fi flicks in the morning while exercising lately, and I’d like to post some opinions so maybe I’ll blog about a couple of those before too long.  I also would like to queue up some more wallpapers as well.  I’ll have to see how much I have time for.

 

Path ending with Death

Taking this path doesn’t end well.

The rough draft of Cog is finished!

Now for a whole lot of work, getting it fit for querying. There are scenes to add, scenes to delete, little bit and pieces to adjust, and lots of errors to fix. Still, it’s a huge milestone in getting this book done.

I had to have a Unicorn eventually, right?

Fierce Werewolf

It’s a werewolf who looks a tad unfriendly.

My son explained why he always has dessert first at lunch.  If he gets hit by a meteor (technically a meteorite at that point) in the middle of eating, he wants to make sure he got to at least have his dessert first.  I can’t really argue with his logic, though I do question his risk assessment.

Frozen Temple

Frozen Temple

This is a pretty one, especially if you like winter-ish colors on your desktop.

Pretty surreal picture of a portal.

D&D Style Dragon

This scene looks like it could have come straight out of a D&D Campaign.
