Yes, the posts in my blog have been scarce. I am still here, and have not fallen off the face of the earth. I’m just focusing on getting my chapters into the publisher. That is taking all of my focus and concentration.

Of course I have had other distractions as well.

* Bidding on new sculpting jobs in the studio
* Taking care of jobs in house, or at the foundry
* Visiting with my daughter and new son-in- law, when they came into town
* Taking care of elderly relatives- it seems like that is my other job. Yes, I am at that stage in my life.
* Working on my house, or portions of it that seem to be crying for my attention, and just won’t wait anymore.

But mostly it has been the book. Hopefully this chapter will be out this next week and I’ll be able to see straight. Of course it will be on to the next chapter.

It is strange but true. I thought I would share this podcast with you. I was interviewed by Strange But True Podcast out of UK. Please note:I ask my Christian friends please don’t freak out over my interview. I have prayed over this, and been prayed over. My minister knows and I do consider it a gift. Please be assured, I’m not possessed.

Besides creating fine artwork, most of my blog readers know that I sculpt deceased loved ones. I have written a book titled “Bringing to Life the Spirit of the Deceased- A Sculptor’s Journey.” Still looking for a publisher. It is about the science behind some of the “strange” things that happen during sculpting the deceased as well as my own experiences. I’m still searching for a publisher for the book. I an also writing another book titled “Kisses from Heaven” based on what others have said about their experiences. Now I am searching for more stories about others having different experiences when someone dies. You can find more information here.

Anyway. It was a fun podcast. If for any other reason it is good to hear that UK accent from my interviewers. You will have to wade through some of the “strange” items before hand. Unless you forward to 1/2 past the hour or move your player curser to 38.40 to hear my interview.

I have been twittering, which is a very short comments on different things that I post through the day. Most people twitter from their phones, I twitter on my computer. People can subscribe to your twitters. I have no idea exactly who subscribes to my twitters, but right now I assume they are anyone that is interested in sculpting, digital sculpting, art, marketing, and the like. My twitter name is sculptorwriter for my fine art and creategodsword for my gift line. Just incase anyone wants to subscribe.
My twitters appear on my facebook home page as well as on my blogs. Some people actually answer me through my twitter posts, giving me resources or answers to questions. This is really cool, but warning, I have no idea how to answer someone when they respond to my twitter post. But I’m not sure if that is really necessary.

When tweeting about my frustration with accounting and Quick Books I tweeted about wishing my accountant offered help with my Quick Books. there are just some things I don’t know how to figure out. So instead of trying to pose a twitter question on quick books in only 140 characters,( the max when tweeting) I’ll post it here.

QUICK BOOKS QUESTION NUMBER ONE

If I have a vendor- foundry that gives me an estimate on the project. It is awarded to them when I get the job and then I pay them in two installments, but I’m not sure how to set it up. You see right now I have to receive the item in QB before making a payment. That means I have to say ” received bronze newsboy cast” even though it may take up to two months and will have a couple of payments. So what is the best way to set up this vendor and the payments in Quick books?

There you have it. I’ll let you know what others say.
