Sadly Thats the Way The Cookie Crumbles

As the year starts to roll closer to October, I'm realizing more and more that I'll probably be closer to finishing everything around...the beginning of 2013.  I've been hoping all year to be done by now, but sadly that's not the case.  Anyhoo, that's my news for 12:38 in the morning.  Back to your sleeping, or eating, or whatever it is you nite owls do.

Yes. Today is Monday. But Now Monday Is Coming To A Close So Now Its Only A Four Day Work Week

Its Monday night, and I should be writing or something.  I'm really not motivated but I'm going to try anyway.  In addition I'm always providing a lovely distraction for those for you stressed out by politics, work, or life in general.  Yes I'm here to provide a public service...or something.  Anyhoo, I'm really here because 12 of you figured out this says "Who Reads Anymore", and not "WhoreAdsAnymore" on the web address.  Heh.  I'm really just trying to give you fine folks a play by play of my daily adventures as writer extraordinaire and mystery man.  I'm inching closer I guess, I just hate the process.  Its tiresome, soul wrenching, and slow.  Ok, I'm done complaining now.  You can return to regularly scheduled Monday night now.

Weekend

I'm completely convinced that guys are more drama than women.  Just an observation.  Actually this might fit well into my little side project...better not give anything away right now, but its funny, in a non-humorous sort of way.  And I just made a little run down to the garage to look at how many books I have I was going to read.  I thought it was around 30 or 40...its about 60, and I haven't come anywhere close to actually getting the necessary materials.  I'm thinking this could go as high 150 now.  I seem to have a rather nice collection of opinion books, not too much actual history.  Its not so much that I want to read all that, its just I want to be thorough.  Its been a while since I've done research for anything, and I'd forgotten how much is involved.  I'm still trying to find some material thats concise, but still accurate.  And I have to try and figure out how to get more writing done on Sunday.  Originally I was supposed to go downtown somewhere, but I won't be venturing down that way till Wednesday, which means I can rest a bit.  Which is nice.  I'm going to try and maybe get in a good 9 or 10 hours of writing in if I can help it....ok kids thats it.  Tune in next time.  Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel...or something.

Another Thursday

I'm not really motivated today.  I'm getting a little writing done, but its not exactly moving.  I might've gotten more done tonight, but I spent some time starting to organize some of my books.  This history book is probably going to take some time to write, and I think I'm up to about 30 or 40 books as far as research reading goes.  And that's mostly books that focus on the American Revolution.  I still have to mind material that covers more than 200 years of the rest of America.  I'm thinking it'll be something comparable to a doctoral thesis, though longer obviously.  I'd like to try and keep it to about 400 or 450 pages or so.  Granted that might not sound like much, but I've seen history books that had very little to them, and I think if I can small font, I can get more information in those 450 pages. 

And in other news, I'm making some slight progress tonight on my other projects too, its just I'm having a hard time getting anything done for whatever reason.  But I am trying to fit some in tonight.  I'm trying to fit in certain things into the stories, and even into the actual formation of the story.  Not so much what I'm saying, but how I'm saying that.  I'll try and explain this better down the road I hope.  Alright enjoy the rest of your night.  Its the last September 13 of the year.

This Isn't Going to End Well

Today, I got off work early, made it home and in the front door, somewhere right before 2 in the afternoon.  And then the call came in.  Had to turn around and go right back out for some kind of crisis at work.  Then I get home sometime around 8 or 8:30.  I was hoping to get in a good a few good hours of writing, and maybe a Dirty Harry movie.  Sadly, I didn't quite reach that goal today.  What I did do however, was start to plan out how I going to work on that American history thingy I've been kicking around a bit.  I'm into the first paragraph now, and it actually doesn't sound half bad.  Taking a quick peek, I see that there's eight different writing projects open right now.  This being the newest.  I'm trying to be chipper or something tonight, because I'm somewhat certain, I'll have to drive close to 700 miles tomorrow in a rental truck I don't want to drive.  I guess I can enjoy the scenery...and the sitting or something...  Most of the time is driving, dropping off this, picking up that sort of thing.  No me gusta.  Anyhoo, I'm trying to be patient with stuff, because its not worth bursting a blood vessel, or gettig gray hair over.  At this point, I guess I need the money or something, and it'll give me plenty of time to work on my Nat King Cole voice... I may have just given out too much information here...

Some Important Stuff, and Some Not Important Stuff

Today is September 11, 2012.  Eleven years ago today, the United States was attacked by Islamic terrorists, who killed thousands of my fellow Americans.  Today as has been the custom every year since then, people across the country reflect on those who died, and those who fight these terrorists.  Its amazing to me how much a country can change, and what can change in the lives of people, apart from a tragedy like that one.  The world is completely different for me and really for everyone else too I would think, I've been married, and now a daughter, and the world seems like it had a facelift or something.  Anyhow, I guess thats what I was thinking of today, and I hope you were reflecting on it in your way. 

As for the not important stuff, I'm thinking I might try to do a Civil War story.  I have no idea what to do with it...I wanted to put it in originally, but I nowhere to go with it.  I still don't really, but I'm thinking about giving it a shot.  And I'm still making some progress on the other stories too, so far I've got about 12 or 13 projects done, with maybe 3 done.  So thats something.  And now we return you to regularly scheduled boring Tuesday.

Wow

I have no idea what the heck is going on tonight.  I had a nice whiny rant here which I just deleted because at some point, I probably would want to slap myself.  Now I'm trying to make some room on my ipod and maybe do a little writing before I have to go to sleep.  This is the life.  Or something.  Sorry this is such a short entry, but let's be honest, I could just type "hello" and you'd be totally captivated right?
