UPDATE: 10-22-07 -- I'm not dead!

Howdy everyone,

I'm a former Texan so I can say that because 'Once a Texan, ALWAYS a Texan.' Am I right, Texas People?!

Ha. Okay, sorry--lack of sleep has made me a little goofy.

This is just a quick update to let everyone know that I'm not dead (unfortunately, right? -lame joke) nor have I forgotten Yuwie, Myspace, Xanga, Livejournal or anywhere else this update may be posted.

See, the thing is: I got a part-time job at one of the local dollar stores here. Though it's not a full-time job, it has kept me very busy and by the end of the work day I'm exhausted. BUT, tomorrow is my day off, so I'm updating everything and trying to get some more writing done.

"Vampires Don't Exist" Update: I'm a little over halfway through the rewrite. I'm still very satisfied with it and I hope you all will be, too. Because of the new job I haven't been able to work on it as much as I would like to, but I'm dedicating most of the night and all of tomorrow to VDE. I hope to get a lot finished. If not tomorrow, my next day off is Wednesday so I'll get more done then. Hopefully I'll have this revamped version finished by the end of November so you guys will have another option for X-mas presents or *insert whatever Holiday you celebrate in December*.

"Dies Irae" Update: ...Guess what! ...Still not finished -.-
My editor (I call her "Mom") is slacking off. I'm considering just taking my sisters' advice and edit it with that. I'll start the final editing/spell checking/proofing process as soon as I'm finished with the revamping of VDE (that way Mom still has some time to get her rear in gear). Then DI gets sent off to publishers. I'm going to try and find a traditional publisher for DI instead of using Lulu. However, if I get more than about 15 rejections, I'll just go ahead and use Lulu again.

So, to recap in simple terms: I'm very busy.

Love to all,
R. Vance

This Crazy Weather

It's hot and humid, today, folks. Oklahoma City in the summertime is unpredictable and, at times, unbearable. But it's also a pretty cool place to live. There are a lot of stories of hauntings here in the Sooner State. I'm going to be researching those stories soon because the paranormal is a little obsession of mine.

 

My sister is hard at work, getting that book cover ready for me. I think it's going to look pretty sweet. In the "cool" sense, not the "sweet, puppies and kitties" sense. So, the poem collection will be ready by the end of this month.

 

Short but sweet, let's keep it that way.
