A handful of resumes sent out already. Next, I'm gonna edit for a few hours, do another job search session later today, and then go vote once my wife gets home.

Physically editing and writing on the proof copy of my new book. Any other authors do this, actually scratching out and changing things in the final stages? #BookSky #IndieAuthor #WritingCommunity

Dear Ontario, so many of you didn’t vote last time. Those who didn’t vote made up the majority. Please vote this time. You can really make a difference. At advance polls, you just need to bring ID if you don’t have your card yet!

I'm doing some research for a sci-fi horror story set on a frozen alien planet and a friend sent my this wonderfully detailed look at what happens to the body at extremely cold temperatures. Frozen Alive by Peter Stark www.outsideonline.com/2152131/free...

When I stop to think about it, this is completely surreal. 4 books (almost) done. I've poured so much of myself into these. I am so proud to be completing the Sisters of Jade Trilogy, and to have a book of short stories in there as well. #BookSky #IndieAuthor #WritingCommunity

My proof copies for 'The Gorgon Court' have arrived! Damn, it's strange to hold this book in my hands. I'm so close to having the Sisters of Jade Trilogy finished. I've spent so many years making this happen, I almost don't know what I'm going to do after. First, one more read through! #BookSky

Finally got the RE4 Remake today. Eek! The original was a huge deal for me back in the day, so I am pretty excited to experience it again, all brand new and shiny.
