I'm sorry things have been so quiet on the blog lately.  Actually I have been doing a bit of writing here and there, but I haven't posted them here.  The complication is that I am doing my Diplomacy subzine Eternal Sunshine now too, and sometimes when I sit down to write about something I wind up doing it in there instead.  So if you'd like to read what I've written in there, so to the Diplomacy World section of the website and you can download the two issues of Eternal Sunshine which I've released so far (the 3rd issue comes out in a couple of weeks).  I could go ahead and post things on both, but I'd rather not make them clones of each other.  The only things I make it a habit to share between the subzine and the blog are my movie reviews.  Things like "I Miss My Father" were only posted here, while in the upcoming Eternal Sunshine I have written about our search for a wedding photographer (among other topics).

If you'd like to be put on the Eternal Sunshine mailing list so you get an email whenever a new issue is available, let me know.  Also, you can follow the links on the Diplomacy section of the web page to join the Eternal Sunshine Yahoo group, where the issues are posted as well.  By signing up there, and selecting Daily Digest, you'll get an email of any messages posted on that group plus notification when the new issues are released.

The good news is I have finally worked myself into a position where I am going to begin writing seriously.  The hardest thing is deciding which area to cover first, but for the time being I think I'll focus on the long-planned Screaming Adventures of the Whining Kent Pigs childhood book.  Even though I worry all the time about it sounding like Augusten Burroughs Lite, I need to try and produce it and THEN worry about how much I hate it.  The writing exercises I've done here and in Eternal Sunshine have helped me loosen up a bit.  Thanks especially to Allison, Paul, and Heather for their encouraging comments.  I'll try to keep you up to date on my progress!
