2008: A year of writing
2008: A year of writing

As I sit here in front of my computer screen listening to “Psycho Killer” by the Talking Heads, I think back about the year that is creeping to an end. Unlike the total train wreck that was 2007, 2008 was sort of like the rebuilding of New Orleans for me. I started 2008 unemployed, depressed and dejected. I had a little bit o’ severance and I was waiting for EI to kick in. (That’s pogey for non-Canadians.) All I had going for me was my many little bottles of pills (prescription meds) my pets; my writing and the appreciation of the LOYAL.
Life is transition. Ever constant, ever changing.
Well at the start of 2008, I was waiting with a sniper rifle ready to shoot out of the tires of my runaway life so I could slow down and get some breathing room. Things kind of sucked like 2007 until about February when a friend out of the blue called and invited me for a week/10 days in Florida. I think the Magic kingdom revived me a bit. Got to see the brighter side of unemployment. Ispo facto: more time to write! And write I did you little minions of muse and yes you may call me, Malificent. Bawhahahhahahahh.

How do you write? Are you kidding me???? (WIP)
On Swift Wings (WIP)
Chimera (WIP)
My True Love (WIP)
Abduction (Ai No Kusabi – fan fiction)-(WIP)
The Black Tower – self published -- buy it please
The Hand that Feeds – (Xiik alias) – (WIP)
Now that I sit back and reflect on this...holy crappola I wrote a helluva lotta stuff!!! Most of it dark bitter twisty angst stab you with my rusty knife in the dangles but there’s still a flashlight at the end of the tunnel feelings. Can you say, welcome to the dark side? Whoa babies. Just timesharing in that place.
While I was up and down emotionally however I did accomplish goals I set out for myself. I graduated from my Creative Writing courses. It got the nice little certificate to hang in a nice little frame to assuage my need for approval. Sadness, need we go through this again? I thought not. That creative writing course was fodder for many of my stories – T4BB in particular. No, I didn’t share with the class that I wrote SLASH aka porn but dropping the smexy references, I could share intellectually without coming off like a total skanky perverted cougar. Or so I think. Who knows what the hell they said about me? A rose by any other name would still cut the bitch if you grab it the wrong way. Ooops still working on getting to mellow.
Another goal check marked off is I’m published and available for sale. Well, my writing is. I myself might be easy, but my dears, I am never cheap. Ha. Oh, what was I saying? Oh yes, something of mine got published into tree killer format in 2008. I was hoping that it would have been CAKE which was sold to Yaoi House Books, however I soon discovered that YHB was built on sand and it collapsed. More angsty moments for me, which lead to angsty moments for Walter, Xavier, Trevor and the rest of my stable of uke bishies – which lead to damn good reading for you! (well that’s what the reviews said). At this moment, nothing has been done with CAKE that I can see. It would have been a nice stocking stuffer but, que sera sera. Cake is locked into a contract until the end of august 2009 so there is still hope that it will make it out to the big wide world under the YHB label. If not, it just might show up under KIIXINK in 2010.
Eep. Plans. I’m more the Xavier type. I roll with the punches. Float like a butterfly, dye like a cuttlefish. You know the saying. (No idea where I was trying to go with that)
So as 2008 winds down, I can safely say that I am in a much better spot that I was last year: mentally, and physically. Spiritually, I might be mourning my feline babies but I still have my puppy Naoe and since I was strapped for money, I might be having more puppies. *big sigh* Puppies having puppies, what is the world coming to? -- Guess where this real life traumady (trauma + comedy) shows up – you guessed it Ike & Riassa having puppies!!
See how art intimates life.
So remember LOYAL & TRUE, writing is an expression. It is a life line. It can be your sanity. It can be your love. It can be your perversion. Just let it BE something and you’ll probably feel better for it.
Best wishes for the New Year. Stick with me, I got some more stories to spin.
Since I am a teetotaller, I will raise my glass of soda pop to you in a toast. Cheers, LOYAL. May this new year, be the best year of your life.
