The glittery holiday dust has settled, and the sidewalks are lined with Christmas Tree corpses. I don't know how your festivities went, but I grew a beard, ate too much, and forgot about my blog.
A few announcements to kick off the new year:
1. No more complete short stories or poems will be posted on this blog. This is really no biggie though, as the people who actually read the stories have my personal email and I will happily email you my stories if you ask. If you don't have my email, just check my profile. The reason for this is that most higher end publishers don't accept work even if it has only been self published on a personal blog. To them that means "already published". Most lower-tier publications couldn't care less, and that's my market right now, so I'm just planning ahead.
2. This blog will now be viewer-defined. Whatever gets the most traffic will get emulated. Repeatedly. The most popular post by far is the one about Minecraft (it trumps all other posts combined). Therefore, this post is an update to that one! With pictures! The picture at the top is taken from my finished Scottish L-Shaped Castle's balcony. I built it in about a day total, including time to build my necessarily extensive network of mines. Here's what she looks like from the back:

Looking out from a top floor room with a skylight, window, and balcony:
What's next? Well, I have a concept world I created for a new story series. I'm going to construct the main city in Minecraft. I won't name the city or the world, but I will show progress and pictures in future updates. Thanks for reading this update, and here's a monumental minecraft city to get you thinking about the possibilities:
