Mostly just an update

So it's been just over a week since Bootstrap, a.k.a. William, arrived and I'm delighted to let you all know that he's happy and healthy. As is his mom, who now glows in a way she never did before. He's a quiet and calm little tyke for the most part, for which I'm grateful. Hopefully he'll stay that way!

I meet up with an old friend of mine who was kind enough to do some newborn photos for us. It was great seeing her again and she did a fantastic job. You can see more of Master William here at Becky Green Photography's facebook page under the photo album Baby Wiliam.

 I also recommend visiting Becky's new website and checking out her other works: http://www.beckygreenphotos.com/


It's been a busy week and then some with the small bundle of joy and poop but it's been inspiring in more than many ways.

I recently continued my writing on the novel I'm currently working on, a young adult fantasy by the looks of it, and I'm finding myself rather motivated. It's a great feeling feeling. I think that reading has added to it, kind of like a fantastic potluck where each dish seems to fit just right with and compliment the others.

I recently finished Vodnik, the new book from Bryce Moore, who himself is new to the published author world, a place I hope to find myself one day. I have to say it was a fantastic read and I highly recommend it. You can find a great review of the book if you click this and read an awesome interview with the author if you click that. My bottom line on the subject is read it.

Before I go, I wanted to quickly touch on two subjects.

First: CONduit 2012 is fast approaching (a convention for fantasy and sci-fi. This is their link) and I'm debating on whether or not I should attend.

Second: I'm currently looking to join a writing group (or maybe I should start one?) if there are any of you out there who belong to, or know of, one (or several) that may be looking for members or would be willing to welcome another. Please let me know by either commenting or emailing me at here.is.elsewhere@gmail.com

I'd greatly appreciate ideas and suggestions for either, thanks!
