Time for an update! On the 24th of June, the Bibliography and Timeline sections of the Site were updated. Information on blogs both past and present and the new White Rock Youth video series were added to both, while the launch of The Legends of Nod was added to the timeline. The lates episode of White Rock Youth was added to the site as well. This is the April 15 episode, number 5 in production order, number 4 in release order "Family Ties."

Haiku #101 was posted four days later, and just today I wrote a new 111th haiku and added it to the release schedule for September 13. I wrote this one just after getting off of the phone with a friend who pointed out to me that "haikus" isn't proper. In fact, "haiku" is both the singular and plural form of the word. I decided to address my grammatical slip up in a haiku. How else?

There is much on the way that has not yet been added to the release schedule. For example, we've shot a number of things for various episodes of White Rock Youth. This series isn't likely to ever have a presence on the release schedule, however, due to the nature of how episodes are selected for release. Episode 3, for example, has yet to be shown, and I'm not sure when it will be. There are at lease four episodes filmed that may be the next up. And we may film others to go up earlier. It is by necesity that the production order is different from the release order. I want to break things up a bit, for example, instead of three straight "documentary" episodes, I'd like to interject a few "story" episodes as well, and we haven't hot any filmed at the moment, so there you go. But there are several episodes already filmed that will be going up. They'll just probably arrive without preamble. One day you'll check the site, and there'll be a new episode.

I'm also trying to get a short story up this month. It depends on my time. I have a lot of work at the church right now and will be out of town with the youth for a great deal of the next two months.

Rest assured, I stand by my commitment to get us out of the haiku slump. I'm on fire creatively right now, and I have much to share with you in the months to come.

Peace!
