Here's an update that, while positive, I can't take for granted.

My self publishing course has gotten extended until April, which is when catering season kicks up again, and I have the ability to publish 10 books using their AI book creator. Which also means that needs to be my priority going forward. Once those books are published I can then ( Read more... )

Diana and I had a huge fight the other day over what seemed like a trivial conversation that started about me recounting working on The Wolf of Wall Street. I was describing a scene where an extra had to get her hair buzzed off by one of the supporting actors. I honestly forget how this memory fit into our conversation but it seemed to at the ( Read more... )

I didn't do as much today as I really ought to have done in my quest towards getting myself situated towards a prosperous 2025. I did a few life things, securing a few jobs for the future, paying my Sag-Aftra dues, and re-upping my lease. But, those are all things that need to be done. You need to push past those into the "should be done" zone. ( Read more... )

Rocket Money alerted me to something I need to take seriously. Not merely the amount of credit card debt that I have, which rivals my student loan debt, but the amount of interest I am currently paying on it.

It's really a sort of code red situation. Particularly because I don't have the proper amount of money right now to make big chunk payments ( Read more... )

Always Be Writing.

I need to get back to honest to goodness Ryan Walker as my own normal regular self writing. Doing this AI-influenced book, proofreading it, editing it, and cycling it through to the publication process has been both interesting and emotionally draining. The excitement doesn't exist due to the fact that it's not me. Well, not ( Read more... )

I don't feel unmotivated but I feel like I'm moving a bit slower than I should be on some of these tasks. I finished writing the book, which is a great accomplishment, it's almost 8000 words. So now I am on to the publishing portion but unfortunately for me my Kindle Publishing app site is blocked because I screwed up the tax portion. I got an ( Read more... )

So far so good ( Read more... )

I haven't gotten sick yet, but what has happened is I have lost a lot of money on a once undervalued stock that has now hit the lowest price in it's 5 year history thanks to countrywide panic selling. Great. Just fantastic. So I'm waiting that out while people hoard toilet paper and other basic neccessities. Paranoia is rising. Our friend Chandra ( Read more... )

As if loopiness and fatigue and moody bouts of depression weren't enough to keep me occupied a couple days ago I was hit with a burning fever. I had a dream that my parents orchestrated a surprise birthday party for me at McDonald's and had invited Guns N Roses to come by and give me a special birthday greeting, with Axl Rose dancing next to me ( Read more... )

First let me say, before anything, that despite the fact that the final results weren't everything I hoped they could have been I'm not disappointed in the ending. I still have my health, my motor functions, and other faculties. And, even though I couldn't get a "problem piece" of my brain removed, I'm still eligible for the implantation of a nerve ( Read more... )
