Its the Only September 30 of 2012 Enjoy It While it Lasts

Yes indeed boys and girls, its almost October, and that means...its almost November, which means its almost election time, and almost my birthday, and almost Christmas, which means I get to buy myself presents.   Now following my stupid attempts at humor/logic I'm hoping to get the ball rolling hopefully at the end of the year on this book stuff.  I am self-publishing again, and that means investing in this little project so that it hopefully takes off and does well, and maybe gives me a little boost into my next project.  I'm still debating about whether or not to do a full history of the United States or just the American Revolution.  I feel like I could do a better job with just that the time period, since I could devote more time to a single period.  I'll know more as I get closer to starting it I suppose, but thats my next to gift to myself.  Yes I'm a very thoughtful giver.  I also need to start thinking about what to get my daughter.  I have no idea what to get a 4 1/2 year old...

Hopefully I Got It Right This Time

I'm hoping this is the last time I work on a preface for this book revision.  Here goes...


Preface

　

　

I’ll just jump right into it, I guess. I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was a kid, I think. I just wanted to do something that would be significant to somebody somewhere. Not sure if this going to do that or not, but this is me making an attempt at it. I got a daughter, and a handful of people that I could probably count on my hand that I love and care about, so hopefully this will mean something to them, and to you folks. I’ve been finding out that as far as leaving something of myself on the world, it really goes beyond one book.

I guess I don’t want to be cliché filled, or have some cheesy line here, but I guess in the process of this, I wrote things to those I love, and wrote a few silly stories about things that I think about, or have an interest in. This book will lead to others. I can tell already. I’m already planning future projects and ideas, and things to do. I think this is significant because I get to show people who I am, and what I am. I get to voice my love of some things, on my mind, and my heart, and somebody else will see it for a change. That’s what important to me. At least this time around.

Another One Done

I got another story done tonight.  That's two in the last week I think, and I'm close to wrapping up at least, the final plot points on the others, even if I'm not close to finishing writing them out altogether.  I'm getting some nice ideas to finish this all off, and then I'm going to start introductory work for my Revolutionary War history book.  That's gonna take me longer to complete, but I'm optimistic about it.  You have to cover more than just the war typically with that time period so you know why the war happened and things like that, so I need to find out what I should cover and things like that.  See?  I'm actually writing, not just calling myself that to pick up on women...  Although I really should be trying to pick up on women more...

Genius At Work

I think I have the setup for the last 5 or 6 projects for the book revision.  It sort of struck me, while I was driving around for work today, that I needed to fix a few things, but that they didn't need complete facelifts, just minor ones.  Its also gonna be less confusing for me, since instead of trying to fit things together, I'm gonna be able to have some breathing room a bit.  I'm sure this sounds all vague and stuff, but too bad.  I can't really give out details yet, but this isn't going to take as long as I thought it might now.  Yes, my lack of organizational skills, and stubborn desire not to plot things out ahead of time is finally paying off.  In other news, I've had this thing in my back that's been popping in and out for a few months, and it finally stiffened on me in a pretty significant way.  I'm having a little trouble breathing, and its pressing against my spine, shoulder blade, and a lung a little too.  I can tell its not a popped rib, its something in the muscle.  I'm not a chiropractor of course, its just I get this kind of thing happening to me enough, I can tell what's going on.  Anyhoo boys and girls, I'm going to go back to work to my soon-to-be bestseller, and figure out how to get myself into more trouble.

A Couple of Revisions Later...

Yes its Monday, which means there's only 4 days left in the work week.  Huzzah!  Tonight I should be done with a second revision of my World War 2 story, and yet another revision of my preface.  So far I'm actually getting something done this week.  I should have a couple of smaller items done this week or and next, but I'll still have some things that'll take a while to get finished, plus a couple of books in waiting that I'll have to start at some point too.  I'm letting the fact I'm behind, and that I've got some personal things going on, kind of muck things up a bit.  Que sera sera or some nonsense like that.  Ok kids back to the perpetual grindstone, enjoy the last Sept 24 of the year.

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.
