Thanks to a recent windstorm, I was without internet for a few days, so this is late. I was back yesterday, technically…

So, we’re now at week four. Today, I’m supposed to write about seven things that cross my mind a lot. I’ll have to say, they’re almost all Belfire, work or similarly related, and probably boring to most of you. Nevertheless, here we go, diving in… avoiding the really boring ones.

7) What it’s going to be like when the girls are gone – contrary to popular belief and my own flapping tongue – I kind of dread the time when they’re both gone. I know I’m a hermit, and I spend most of my time alone now, but at that point, I’ll be Alone. In the past several months, I’ve broken through a lot of barriers, and a very large one was the controlling, manipulative methods used by members of my birth-family to keep me, and others of our kin, within a half-hours drive. I don’t want to do that to the girls… but I have to admit the temptation is there.

6) House plans… we’ll be moving in the next eight months or so, I hope, and I’ve got a picture in my head. The yard, the interior, my room. See – the house is a lot smaller than where we are now. We have a lot of furniture. It’s going to be squishy, but cozy. I hope.

5) Getting back into regular ritual and study… Either it’s the winter, or I’m just that crazy, but I’m wanting to get back into a regular path of study. Guess we’ll see how that goes…

4) Finances… who doesn’t worry about finances???

3) New Bedlam… I know, I know. I should live in the present, the here and now, the here for that matter. Frankly, I like New Bedlam more, thank you very much.

2) Juggling Belfire, TNBP, freelancing and my writing… 24 hours a day just isn’t enough.

1) Re-structuring Belfire Press… there’s a lot of necessary changes coming up, and I’m not particularly happy with any of them, but I know that they must be done, or the company will go the way of so many other micro-presses. Oh, and PS – I know there are a handful of people that hate seeing the term micro-press. Tough.

Some of you may have noticed a lack of a Writersphere last week. Unfortunately, I don’t have time right now to hunt down promotion items, and despite repeated requests across twitter and Facebook (and thanks to the folks who re-posted and re-tweeted!) no one offered any. Just as I understand everyone’s busy, etcetc. I hope you will all understand – Writersphere is, for the time being anyway, once again going on hiatus. At least I can say I tried…again.
