Wow. Time has been flying by at a crazy pace. It’s been over a week since my last post, which just seems wrong. Mind you, I’ve been actively tweeting over on my Twitter account (derekmolata), where everything has been quick thoughts and whatnot, but nothing worthy of a blog entry. I’ve also been trying to keep up on my Facebook account when I can, but that can be a lesson in futility.
Things have settled down since I acquired an agent a few weeks ago. Which is good. It is allowing me time to get some other things down around the house and spend some time with my family and get caught up on the craziness of the day job. But I have some synopses to finish for books 2 and 3 of the Hinges series, and a synopsis to write for the YA project as well. Time to get moving on wrapping those up before my revision notes come back from my agent.
I’ve also been able to hang out over the past week or some with some of my close friends. Last weekend I had my brilliant illustrator and childhood friend, David Sones, and his wife come over for dinner and drinks and conversation. It was a great time indeed, and even though his wife is expecting, the night went late which was nice since we don’t have a chance to get together as much as we’d like to.
Then on Thursday night I went out for sushi with the awesome Karin Lowachee and we talked shop, from books and movies and writing and agents to whatever else tickled our fancy. It was mucho fun, and luckily, our bi-monthly get-togethers will be accelerated as I’ll get to see her again on May 12 for the Chuck Palahniuk reading and signing in Toronto.
So yeah, all in all, things have been very busy, but in a “good busy” way. This weekend is going to be primarily spent working around the house and getting ready to plant trees, as we’re ordering about 50 trees in the next few weeks to plant in the backyard. Can’t wait for that, but there is a lot of prep involved.
Now I’m off to take Charlotte to dance class. Have a good weekend.
