Literary Logjam: An Update from CTJ-Land

I have been busy as of late. Too busy. Which means I have also been too tired to push through the literary logjam that is keeping my plate full and my blog empty of new content.

This post, then, is me saying, “To all three of you who read my blog, I have more stuff coming. I promise.”

In fact, here’s what’s coming down the proverbial pipeline:

1) A two-way interview with Jesse Greever, who’s new publishing imprint is going to release my Nightmarriage eBook in 80+ electronic formats worldwide.

2) An interview with author Katherine Willis Pershey, who wrote Any Day a Beautiful Change.

3) A new IMAGE Journal “Good Letters” blog essay about introjects, Jim Henson, and more. That’s supposed to land on May 22nd, and it has been drafted. Next comes the rewrites, the handwringing, and finally, the birth of a bouncing baby essay.

4) I have embarked on a small-scale publicity campaign once again with Kansas City’s resident art superstar, Danny J. Gibson. Look for a Wikipedia entry, a press release even you can help distribute to the media, and a gorgeous press packet created by Mr. Gibson himself.

5) I have to mow the yard.

6) Oh, and we have an infant. She’s still in our care. We have to feed her, change her diapers (which are heinous indeed), and love her. She seems to like us, except when she is teething. She just started crawling this week.

In closing, the picture above is of a new nail salon here in Lawrence, KS. It makes me laugh. My wife noticed it. And since you’re asking, yes I do. My nails are horribly ragged from all the chewing. When I get overly busy, I chew my nails even more than usual.

So hang in there. There is more to come. More for all three of you who read this blog faithfully.
