The Blog is Dead, Long Live the Blog

For me, blogging has turned out to be very much like personal journal writing: it comes in waves, and is seldom very good. But I enjoy it, so I keep coming back to it. The recent lapse in blogging has been due to a very intense writing schedule. In addition to my regular day-job, I've been putting in 40+ hours each week on writing. It's a good-news-bad-news sort of thing. The good news is that I got another contract with Hachette for 2 more books (woo hoo!). The bad news is that the schedule is killing me. (yeah, I know: quit whining, Kevin, you're doing what you love!). Fortunately, my deadline for the next manuscript is in June, so it (either the manuscript or me) will all be over soon.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next couple of weeks. The Nine Lessons hits bookstores soon, and it'll be fun to see how it does. Granted, it's the sort of fun that gives me heartburn, anxiety, and indigestion, but fun nonetheless.
