I'm back!

Today I'm going running again just to really show AssFat who's boss. Then I'm firing up the welder and getting to WORK!

I can't believe how long it's taken to get my shop up and running. Obviously working in the driveway hasn't been an option for months now. I promise to post some pics soon of the new digs. I have two commissions waiting (they've been waiting since-- idk-- last spring/ summer), and two shows to get ready for. The new shop is amazing-- totally good vibes.

As far as writery stuff goes-- the revision I wasn't crazy about doing at first is proving to be really transformative. Getting my mc Dianna into first person and letting her say exactly what's on her mind has raised the book to a whole new level, and having to justify my Dave love has made me see some things about my storyline needed beefing up. Stakes had to be raised a bit. I really think when I'm done this will be a much better novel than it was, and that surprises and delights me. I'm really excited now, about the changes I'm making.

It's already almost 10 a.m. and I haven't done jack today. I Stayed up really late last night finishing "Cracked Up To Be" by Courtney Summers. This book is really good. If you liked "Girl Interrupted" you'd like it. The tone is really edgy-- so of course I'm totally down with it. Check it out if you want to see what kind of YA I want to be a part of.
