Alright, so the first short, "Heedless" is going through its second round of editing. Pretty exciting, although I'm not sure what more could be changed. If anyone is interested in reading it and giving some feedback that would be great. If there is an artist out there who would like to take the challenge of making a cover, that too would be great.
How's everyone doing? I hope you're all having a great week. I'm trying to find things to write while I go through revisions... easier said than done...

Blogger?
So, going through some revisions of my first SciFi short story: "Heedless". I've already completed the second short stories manuscript, "Black Hearts", and am currently working on the third, which has no title yet! I find it interesting getting feedback from all of my alpha and beta readers. You notice that people look at different aspects, and notice different things. Anyone working on any other projects?
On the Warhammer side, I'm almost done painting up my Crimson Hunter, for my Eldar, the Renia Craftworld. Looking pretty good, if anyone wants to see pictures, let me know.
Now about blogger, anyone out there good at formatting this thing? I've noticed some other people have tabs on theirs. I've been trying to figure out how to do it, there is probably a youtube video somewhere I should watch... I just want to divide the blog into sections... such as "writing", "complete stories" and "hobbies" or "misc" and get some semblance of organization here. If you have any insight, let me know!

A quick writing tip for today!
Alright,
I hope you are all well today! I just want to take a second to address an issue I deal with more often than I would like, and that you probably have all had to deal with. WRITERS BLOCK. *queue dreadful music*
Here is a tip that I have found works out pretty well. Figure out what WOULDN'T happen next in the scene. If you start to make a short list of what would not happen, then you will most likely figure out something that would be likely to happen, and therefore get yourself out of your block! Think it sounds crazy? Go ahead... try it out!
