As you can see, I've been busy. Looking at everything I've done, in a way I'm proud and in another I'm bummed. I've written a lot, and worked my ass to a flabby mass, but I'm still unpublished. Still, I keep hammering away (or banging my head on a rock, if you will). Remember the manta is: If not this one, then the next one. And the next one. And the next one. Until I see one in print.

I guess I'll just keep working until I publish or I die of old age - whichever comes first. :shrug: At least no one can ever say I wasn't prolific.
