Moving forward...again.

Not much new in the world of Tim. Website brand is growing slowly, and I'm pushing the market out. Invitations to do guest posts, of which I've done one so far, with another one next week. E-book is coming along nicely.

Rights from one of my short stories just reverted back to me in November, and I just re-placed it over at Abandoned Towers. Discussed making it into a serial, but I'm just too busy to realistically do it until March at the earliest.

Three other shorts in submission. Thinking of calling about one of them because it's been in since June and I haven't heard anything from the editor yet. 6+ months is pretty ridiculous.

Stumbled across a sci-fi MMORPG being developed out of Dubai yesterday, looking for a writer. I sent off a query and the guy got back to me within a couple of hours, and I have a phone interview with him tomorrow (Tuesday), so finger's crossed. It's just a single 6k-12k word short story (background story based upon their outline) to start, but the pay is decent and there's a potential for future work if things pan out, including quest writing and further story development. Of course it's a start-up, so things are simply in pre-development stage at this point, but it was an interesting enough opportunity that I couldn't pass up querying about it. After all, it combines fiction work with freelancing, so it's the best of both worlds :) And I love writing sci-fi, plus it furthers my progress in the fiction universe, so.

In any case, I'm pretty excited about that. I'll let you know how the phone call goes tomorrow. I wasn't actively looking for work at the moment because my first few months of 2010 are booked pretty good, but every once in awhile you stumble across those gems that are just so perfect you can't help but query about them, regardless of how busy you are otherwise.

Hoping to get our Christmas tree up this week. We still haven't managed to rearrange the living room...Evy and I keep finding other things to occupy our time. We bought tickets for the Avatar premier this Friday at the Imax, in 3D, so that should be fun.

Anyway...that's it for today :) Got some studying to do and some e-book work to hit up. Hope everyone is doing well!
