Yes, I am still being a bad blogger. What brought me back to the fold was reading this article:

So according to our Education Secretary, it's OK to invite people into our schools to teach our children how to hate.
Nice.
There is some good news on a much smaller and entirely self-centred level. I'm very nearly almost there with the book. It's gone through a number of readers both for general form and for proofreading, and I've got about a month's more work to do on it. It will be published as a Kindle book (and possibly as a Nook Book if I can master that technology), and I'm looking at a possible launch date of April 7, 2012.
I have sent it to a couple of agents, but that was annoying and soul destroying and it basically took all of the fun out of it. As the whole point of writing for me is that I'm having fun, I've decided to bypass that part of the process.
In other good news, winter is coming to a close and we're getting closer to spring again! Huzzah!
