Pre-Holiday Updates

Much has been going on since my return from Poland. Besides the Thanksgiving holiday and catching up at my full-time job, I have been moving forward with a number of projects.

The “Raising Our Humans” site continues to grow as the days pass. I am working with another site to create a relationship between her site and my own, which should increase traffic to both sites as well as to give both of our readers more content to explore and enjoy. I am going to be updating the multimedia library soon, with a new video and some more pictures.

“Hike For Play” has been in a bit of a holding pattern which I am planning on changing very soon. I have a couple of trails to add, as well as some fun nature facts coming to the site soon. I am planning on creating a photo gallery that amateur and freelance photographers can utilize to show everyone what nature has to offer to the world through a camera lens.

My book continues to progress, though very slowly. I have recently completed a re-work of the first chapter after I found some information that helps to make it feel much more authentic. I have an open ended release date at this point still, but I will get a more finalized date in place by mid to late February. The most difficult challenge to date has been verify the authenticity of some of the settings around the stories that take place within the book. Although this is a historical fiction book, my goal is to limit the fiction to the character and his interaction with the world while keeping everything else as factual as possible. So far, so good.

The sports player/team profile site I announced in my last post is now in the final planning stages. I am planning on making it live on March 1st, 2012. My first two profiles will be related to NCAA March Madness, and by this point of the season the field of teams going to the Big Dance should be pretty much set.

Lastly, I have two exciting announcements that will be made shortly so stay tuned!
