It was not my intention to keep away from my blog for almost ten days, but life has been hectic.

The day-job has been very busy, and that is a good thing because it means my job is secure in the troubling economic times.  In the evening I have been working hard on getting through what I suspect will be the hardest part of my book to write, a massive space battle of ninety ships, with characters scattered and a lot invented tactics to try to slip into the exposition. I’ll be very happy to be back among simply character scenes and emotion dangers versus space battles.

On the plus side I have finished the first draft of the space battles and I’m now about 15,000 words into the novel. I’m happy with the progress and I am looking forward to the rest of the book.

I’m going to try and be better about my blogging, I have things to say, lots of things to say, but my time seems to slip right on by me.
