Finished Track 8 today...wednesday.  Mailed it out.  Turned out a lot longer/better than I thought it would.  Fearing the book seems too episodic. Ahh well, something to worry about later.

High five.

Bowling night rules.

Did 20 bucks worth of copying and mailing today.  Seven resumes out to places like Las Vegas, Missouri, Connecticut, Maine, and elsewhere.  Seven query letters out to prospective literary agents.  Hopefully they're all real, and will be really actually interested.  Then I can make the choice.

It would be nice to get job offers too.  Somewhere in the ( Read more... )

I'm printing out all of my work right now, everything I've been up to for the last two years or so.  It's taking a long time, because Eastern doesn't like me to print more than 25 pages at a time, and I'm up over 1200 pages.

I found a toothbrush in my bathroom the other day, with a paper cup wrapped around the bristles.  I tossed out my old ( Read more... )

Track 7 of the book was finished about ten minutes ago.  High five.  I'm very excited to be moving through this quickly.

Finished Track 6 (Intoxication) of the current book (Believe by Disturbed) at around midnight last night/this morning.  Feeling good.  Lots of ideas for the Audioslave book.  Halfway through this one.  Huzzah.

Plus I just ran.  Tired but okay.

BOWLING NIGHT TONIGHT.  HOORAY.

So far I've been running my 3 to 3 1/2 mile loop every other day.  I've been keeping up with it very nicely.  Not sure if I've lost any weight yet, but that doesn't matter.  Before things get hectic with working two jobs again, I'd like to get in the habit.

Book is moving slowly, but that's okay.  I'm hoping for the end of February as a finishing ( Read more... )

I finished writing the fifth track of Distrbed's 'Believe' today, and it's mailed out to my friends.  I'm only sorry that I took a solid two weeks off of writing...the last three days have given me at least four pages each, so that's good.  I'm getting back into the swing of things.

Happy 2006.  Hopefully it'll be a step or two better than 2005.

It's the day after Christmas.  I got sleepy pants and a pair of fantastic headphones for gifts, and I thought I'd use them on my inaugural run.  So I did two and a half miles or so in the snow and sleet along Dexter Pinckney road.  The good news is that I enjoyed it, even though it wore me the hell out.

The bad news is that I lost one of the ( Read more... )

It's been difficult to think about what I'll be gaining by Christmas.  All that comes to me are the multitude of things I lost.  And I won't bother putting my tears on the internet in excrutiating detail, but here are a few or the highlights:

-a few pieces of my heart
-a good friend or two
-the loss of my sobriety, when it comes to work.

Oh yeah ( Read more... )
