Update of various projects

The Writer's Surgery material is in and I expect I will hear shortly about the progress, given the earliest proposed date for discussion is early June through the Queensland Writers Centre.

The Rabbit Hole II will be happening also in the first few days of June. I have participated in this writing marathon (30,000 words or "The End" in 3 days) for the last couple they have hosted. Not sure why this is #2, because it will be the third I have participated in. I'll be ramping up to that by reviewing my content specifications in preparation to write much more on Battle of Korunai and perhaps some blogging. I am thinking blogging should not be included in the word count, but we will see how close I get to the limit.

Additionally, I have been putting together some other blogs:

• Bartitsu & neo-Bartitsu, to document my discoveries in these arts, possibly with chuan fa thrown in for the fun of it. This has had some surprising interest since I started it.
• Courtly love letters, which is a selection of love letters I have written with the permission of those who were recipients (watch this space as I have a few there and will be starting to release them soon).

Finally, the 4th installment for Air, Steel & Soul just hit the photons. Statistics show that 63% readership is Australian... but nearly a quarter of readers are from Russia. Around 7% of readers come from the US, and below 2.5% for Germany and Malaysia readers.

The game has been run twice in the same week for the first time ever and has resulted in some interesting outcomes that will soon be documented. I still am not up to the same spot as the game is, but that just means I have more to write... urgently.

I have also started investigating competition opportunities. Most of these seem to be for short stories, which I am not really all that keen on, but I have never really put my hand to. I guess I am about to.

Trying to hang in there.
