Greetings and Salutations

I'm not quite sure why I'm jumping off the blogging cliff behind the other lemmings but here I am, leaping without a thought as to how I might look when I hit the bottom.

Anyways, a bit about me, for those who don't already know...

My name is Scott Robinson and I live in Brisbane, Australia. While not sitting at work complaining (as I would be right now if I wasn't typing), I write.

I have had a grand total of 7 poems and 2 short stories published. I also have another short story coming out sometime later this year, I think. I used to write poetry all the time-- I even thought I was going to make a living from it when I had my first poem published as a smart-arse 13 year old. I soon got over that. Now, as a smart-arse 30 year old, I think I'm going to make a living from writing novels.

I am about to embark on the final draft of a two book fantasy/space opera story that I think is good enough to be published, but may be ignored anyway because it doesn't quite fit.

As of the first of July, I will be attending EnVision (www.sf-envision.com), which is a 5 day novel writing workshop where published spec-fic authors look at your novel to see where improvement might be made.

And straight after that I will be taking a bit of a road trip to Melbourne to try to get away from work as much as possible. It is supposed to "refresh" me and make me enjoy my job again. I already know that isn't going to happen and I'll be looking for a new place of employment soon after. Oh well.

But if I can't find something interesting to put in here after all of that...

And speaking of work, I should really go and do some. Damn them.
