      My webcomic takes up most of my writing time, but I'm still plugging away   
   at my fourth (fifth?  sixth?  depending on how you count) novel.  I'm excited   
   about it.  Aside from being the best thing I've ever written, it contains   
   The Meaning of Life.   
      
      I haven't submitted anything in a couple years, though.  After I finish   
   this novel I plan to go on a binge of revision and submission.  I'm also going   
   to self-publish book one of the webcomic, and if that goes well I might   
   self-publish some of my novels also.  But I still want to be published   
   via traditional paths if possible.

      Life is funny.  Death is funnier.  Mass slaughter can be hilarious.
