It's been a while since I've posted but trust me, nothing has been going on. Life has been pretty dull as of late. But I'm making the best of it. I've read a lot of books and my writing is coming along nicely. I've now got two projects going on. One is the book I have been trying to write - ideas have actually been coming to me quite freely. The other is a short story for a writing contest out of a magazine. $3000 for 1st place. That would be pretty helpful - it could go towards a down-payment on a house in a couple of years.

I'm trying not to let my thinking get too wishful when it comes to a career in writing but I can't help thinking it's possible. I get so passionate about writing that it seems wrong when I'm not doing it. If that's the case, I might as well try to make a living out of it right? We'll see.

I saw the doctor the other day. He said my foot is healing nicely and as long as I stay off it, I should have a good foot in a couple of months. The pain has gone down significantly from when I first broke it although it does still hurt a lot. Most of the swelling is completely gone as well. Here's hoping for a successful recovery.
