In writing news, I have been very good and actually have lots of words put together for a future story. Granted, its just lots of notes from my dungeons and dragons campaign, but its something. My friends have been incredible players and together they have made some wonderful characters, and epic moments as we play. I can't wait to write it up one day as stories relating to the main novel.
The bad news is I have been terrible at getting my books published before the year is over. The industry is so hard to crack, and with sales only breaking even, it's difficult to keep the momentum going when publishing new books. The company have wisely slowed down the pace of publishing a little, because too much investment and not enough sales is a dangerous habit for a company to get into. Grimbold Publishing must survive, as it's amazing company. In time I will get my stories ready to be published, but until then things have ground to a halt.
Some good news is (I think), I have some poetry to share. I wrote a number of poems when I used to work nightshift and always hoped I'd be happy, confident and brave enough to share them by the time I'm thirty. Well, I have achieved those goals and happy to share them with you. I'll post one every few weeks/month. I hope you like them.
A Break Given To
Stop This Breakdown (1-2-2011)
The drive goes on, and on, despite
the crash.
While mother earth gestates her
element.
Weathering and weakening, then we
clash.
Like lightening, my energy is
spent.
All of it used to control this
machine.
She is unaffected, unstoppable.
I am rust, dents and leaking
gasoline.
How to survive? This is impossible!
Harmonise, so we two will win this
race.
Achieve wants, and dreams, together
as one.
If you condescend for us, show us
grace.
Give us a break, then repairs can
be don.
Or in a trillion tears we will
drown.
If no break given to stop this
breakdown.
