Big, Dangerous Robots

I'm most of the way right now through a story that I'm really enjoying writing (always a good sign). I won't tell all now, as I really hate giving synopses, but it does involve robots. Dangerous ones. And it's kind of funny (at least I hope that's how it'll come across). Not a deep story by any means, but a fun one to write, and I know just where to submit it when I'm done with it.

Adam and Eve story

My bigger book project is still looming and I'm working away at it, but it's nice to be able to seize inspiration every once in a while and just run with something new and fresh. 

I woke up one morning recently with a dream still vivid in my mind: I'd dreamed of Adam (yes, the famous one from the Bible) and he was mourning his wife's death--the first death he'd ever seen from old age. 

I don't know if anyone's ever done this angle before (though I'd be willing to bet that they have) but I thought I'd give it a try. Its earthiness and direct-ness reminds me quite a bit of Frederick Beuchner, actually (which is a high compliment, in my mind). Anyway, if I ever finish it, I've definitely got some markets (some paying and some not paying) that I'll be sending it off to. 

Time to dust off the cobwebs...

It's been so long since I've made a blog post here that I'm surprised that Blogger hasn't deleted my account.

Anyway, I'm still around. I just got busy for a while with other things. It happens. I'll post next about a couple of things that I've been doing related to writing, but in the meantime: I'm back!
