Reforming A Business

I've come out of hiding long enough to say that moving is hard.  I recently moved from Kansas to Tennessee, and all of the BS that comes with moving is creeping up on me.  One of those things is registering my business in my new state.  Unfortunately, my new state isn't making it easy.

I was all set(I thought), only to find out they need more paperwork to charge me $300 for making almost no money.  Some of this paperwork is straightforward, but some is a pain in the ass.  I need organizational articles I didn't need in Kansas.  Furthermore, it's near the end of the year, and I have to decide if I want to register it as doing business this year in Tennessee or if it can wait until next year(ie, January 1st).  The obvious benefit to waiting is no paperwork for this tax season.  However, I don't want to get in trouble with some bureau-weenie because my meager business that makes almost no money was off by six weeks.  Frustrating and annoying.

And yes, this'll likely be the pattern of my posting for a while.  I just started a new job(did I mention that my writing doesn't yet pay the bills?), and I'm still trying to unpack in my new house.  Moreover, I have to finish up Schism and haven't done shit for weeks.  Yes, I got some information to beef up the novel, and there really isn't much further to write, but I have to break the inertia and get it done.  Much better use of time than blogging.  I know, I know...HERESY!

Maybe I'll put together a post on the progress of Schism next week or something.  Of course, that implies progress by next week.  Maybe that can be my motivation...
