Since everyone else seems to be throwing updates about themselves and their writing thought some may appreciate it if I did the same.

Circumstances in real life that brought about the short story, "The Changeling," really put my muse into a tailspin. I could not concentrate on any of my ongoing stories for the longest time and I refused to begin any new story until I had those complete.

The little one, (at 10 years old isn't so little anymore at 5'3" and into a bra size that has me cleaning the shotgun,) is doing good learning the Violin, although is finding it more fun to play the fiddle music I have. Her skills are improving with it and the guitar as I teach her. Picking up and trying my Mandolin she found too hard to begin, (thank god!) And she has begun learning the finger rolls on a banjo, (Yes I play them all).

Of course, as any young girl will do she has "inspected" everything and she has gone through the many shoe boxes I have of computer games and being the star wars fan she is, I was forced by her puppy dog eyes to build her a small computer and install Star Wars the Old Republic on it, and on mine to "Play" with her.

With the gameplay, I decided to give the muse a rest hoping it would bring my writing back to something close to normal. And even when those times hit me when the muse was screaming at me to write down some idea, I ignored it.

Now weeks later it seems the muse is coming around and wanting to work on the unfinished stories I have... Yea!!!

So if nothing else in real life sticks its head up to screw up anything, you should begin seeing updates to "For Better or Worse", "Kelly's story" and "Project: Super Soldier" sometime in the near future!
