Well, it feels like it’s been ages. Around six months I think.
Despite the time, there’s not much to report, so I’ll bullet point it, and try to keep things relatively brief while simultaneously giving enough information to start the conversation.
So here we go:
On the parent front. My son is amazing. I get to spend far too little time with him, but he’s beautiful. He’s just over six months old now, and he’s gotten big. He’s about 9kg now (nearly 20 pounds). He’s a very curious young man, and always checking everything out. I’ve added an album in my gallery dedicated to Ren. Just a few photos.
On working. Recruitment is interesting. At first, it was killing me. I didn’t really know what I was doing, and there were some real setbacks as I was both getting started with that while simultaneously getting started with a family. Now, after a series of small successes, alongside plenty of failures, I’m beginning to be able to crawl out of the hole. I’m now looking at making some small commissions for the year, as well as getting a decent start on next quarter. We shall see what the future brings.
On my book. The writing is officially finished. The editing is mostly finished. I am in the process of moving some edits over from paper to digital. I’m planning on going the self publishing route, and I’m planning a Kickstarter campaign. Hopefully it will be up by the end of this month, but I said that last month too. With all the stuff I have going on, it’s been difficult to get it figured out. You can check updates here: https://twitter.com/WitheringBook (Not a lot of activity yet, but I’ll update it more as things start to happen).
Aside from all that, not much has changed. There were some website updates, so now you’re going to see Amazon adds below and in the sidebar. Basically, I’m testing it out before I start another project that I’m currently in the process of working on. If you use that link, then Amazon will donate a small percent of what you spend directly to me, so you don’t have to do anything other than you normally do. Since only the people closest to me check this site, I figured I’d use this site as a testing ground (by the way, if you run an ad blocker, you won’t be able to see the ads unless you add an exception to this site). Hopefully, I can get the other project out sooner rather than later. More updates as that begins to materialize.
I think that’s it for now. Please keep in touch. I know I’ve been terrible about it. I’m sorry. I’m going to try to be more vigilant about it.
