Ok, I will not usually post on Sundays, but today I have some good news. Dogs of Wrath, The, or as I have retitled it, Man Does to Man, is available for purchase today! If you want it, click here for a copy.
Also, there's one thing that I forgot to mention yesterday. I will be posting on a specific schedule. Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays will see posts from me, unless otherwise mentioned.
That's it. Buy the book. The preview is up here and you should have read it already, but if you didn't, all seven parts are available here:
Part 1

#66: There's a Gonna Be Some Changes Round Here
Ok, this is more of a public service announcement than a substantive post. The public is entitled to purchase new and used cars . . . .
No, ok, I can be serious now, don't leave! Ahem. Thank you. Ok, I am now going to number my posts. I am also going to stop using labels, because at the time of writing, I had . . . far too many. At least one for each letter of the alphabet. And it was n't helping me to organize the posts and I doubt that it was helping anyone out there find a specific post. So no more labels.
And finally, I was up until almost two last night, working on this sidescrolling Flash game (yeah, because I had nothing better to do, like party, or club, or BLOG, or write, or maybe SLEEP or anything like that.) Instead, I spent a good four hours trying to get some dumb*ss enemy/bullet hitTest to work. So now the bullet goes back to the gun and stops moving, but the enemy won't become invisble, like it's supposed to.
F*ck. I need to get a job.
I'm now unemployed, by the way. In case anyone wanted to know.

While I Was Out
So, as you know, I have been on the West Coast for the past two weeks (seems like much less time) and while I was there, I decided to do something to make it up to you guys for leaving you with only my sporadic Twitter updates. So, over the weekend, I made a little Flash game with my friends Betsy and Emmett that came out of an inside joke between the three of us. The game is posted here and I hope you will enjoy it. Good luck, and I apologize for the truly horrible nature of the controls and graphics.

Upcoming Delay
As I mentioned last week, I'm going to be on vacation for the next two weeks. However, there has been an unexpected wrinkle. I will most likely not be able to blog for a variety of reasons. BUT, in order to keep you abreast of any developments or thoughts that I may feel like dictating to you, I have revived my two-month defunct twitter account. So if you feel a need to hear from me, just go over to http://twitter.com/Solomon_L where I will be doing my best to at least make a tweet every day about my experiences on the West Coast.
If for some reason, you are unable to view my twitter account, fear not! In two weeks I will return and blog about my adventures in full. So until then, fare well!
And on a completely unrelated note, I just read my theory on the meaning of life in Orson Scott Card's book Shadow Puppets. I knew others had thought of it, but seeing it in a bona fide book validates it for me (even though he thought of it seven years before I).
So, once again, see you on the other side. Remember: http://twitter.com/Solomon_L!

No, I Have Not Forgotten
Ok, hello all. Apologies for the ridiculously long post before, as well as the gap in between postings, but the length of that post, as well as it's being written in my blogging notebook (bad idea. My handwriting is atrocious and the notebook seems to inspire me to write longer posts, so the Michael Jackson Memoriam was a two and a half page long illegible muddle. And every time I opened the notebook to try and complete the post, I grew a headache).
By the way, before I get into what I was going to write about, I wanted to say that I have not forgotten about Dogs of Wrath, The (I am going to change the title). I will continue to post sections, but my life is kind of busy right now. Got back from a two week vacation, where I was essentially cut off from the Internet, and on Saturday, I'm going out west for two weeks, so I don't know what the Internet status will be. Keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to post, etc. And for those of you who have checked my profile recently, I have another blog, where I am going to be creating this sort of world. Hope to develop it into a novel eventually, and I might actually do that for NaNoWriMo.
Which brings me to what I wanted to write about. I am considering doing a two character novel about a world in which God disappears (idea came to me in the shower, so don't knock it) and I think it might actually be workable. It allows me to fix the sixth degree and another project I was working on, and helps me to actually have CHAPTERS! Instead of the two 35 page long blocks of text that is currently DOWT. (I like the sound of that. DOWT. And it's a homophone. It fits.)
So what do you guys think? Can I do it, the God thing? Comment or something, but I'm probably going to do it anyway, so whatever. Encourage me then, or offer ideas on what happens afterward, because THAT I don't have. Right now I have about five pages of exposition, a page or two of God's appearance, page of God speaking to the world and then he vanishes and a page of the world's reaction. How can I make this a book?
