Hey all,

I've been MIA from these boards for far too long (and can make no promises re: changing that).  But I do like to check back in from time to time and see what's going on.  I want to thank Nick again for setting this place up, and for giving me a shot at contributing a while back.  I hope that some day I might make a return.  But anyway.

Writing for the Elephant Room was a major step in my progress as a writer, and I wanted to share my minor successes from this past month.  January, 2010 saw my first professional comic story go live on the Ape website – and 8-pager for their online UFO anthology – as well as the online publication of the first short story I've sold. The links are below, for anyone interested

comic (8 pages)

short story (roughly 5000 wds)

It's been a good month, but now I need to build on this.  So, I'll slide back over to the word processing program and try to add to my word count.

Thanks again Nick.  I appreciate the opportunity you fostered for me here.
