So, I have been working my day job, and have since failed to write even a single word in DRC, or any other project I have on the burners.  This simply will not do.  I have made great progress in said day job, but while it helps pay the bills, it is not helping me write my books.  An alternate solution is needed, and needed quickly. 

See my day looks something like this,
up at 6 get kids up/breakfast/shower/shave/dress/drive kids to bus/drive wife to work stop/drive to work
8 till around 330-4 day job
4-430 drive home
430-530 assist with homework, prep/finish dinner
530-600 pick up wife
600-645 dinner
645-730 finish up homework, clean up from dinner, kids prepped for bed
730-9 bills, various other duties, perhaps maybe an hour of tv then bed
next day–repeat.

So, you see, I have little time to write.  Ugh, I know, that’s just a cop out.  But when I am really tired the drive to get this done just isn’t there.  OK, so perhaps I need to read what I have during the day, and then come home and jot down a few notes.  I think I will try that for a bit, when I have time at work, I will read DRC on my phone, and move on from there.

Thanks blog, you helped me once again.  And for those poor lost souls who actually read this thing, keep your fingers crossed, and pray to whatever god you believe in that I actually finish this project.  Divine intervention never hurt anyone.

Yes, I know.  Other than my shameless plug for the Thrashers I have not been on air much.  And promising to change that just seems futile at this point.  However, I still have writing to do, and thou shalt be done.  But, unfortunately, looks like I will be shooting for the end of March as a completion date.  Inconvenient as my day job is to my writing, it is functionally necessary.  So, we will deal with it until my first publication. 

I am STILL looking for feed back on Retribution.  If you have read it PLEASE let me know what you thought of it.  Tell me its crap, tell me its great…either way.  Would love to hear from those of you who do visit the site as well.

OK…now that I am all tired and stuff, and my writing of words is not going to be tonight, I will bid the all farewell.  Perhaps I need to make time to write in a new schedule….thats a thought to keep in mind…

Night all.

Just click on any link above, and that will assist me in winning Thrasher tickets, and will allow you to purchase tickets for only $15…not a bad deal if I do say so myself.

My apologies for being away…yet again.  However, life does happen.  Have relished having day job work to do again…and being gainfully employed..woot.  However, that has diminished my allotted time for keyboard activity.  But, alas, I have a goal to finish this one novel before the fall of February, and so I shall.  At the very least I will have draft zero accomplished by the 28th day for the second month. 

Things accomplished in fiction…besides feeling guilty about not writing, and feeling even worse when I see other writers word counts…nada.

Things accomplished in real life…new day job, supporting my wife while she had four teeth pulled..ouch, adjusting to the new schedules of the fam…trust me..thats a lot.

New posts to come..hopefully I won’t be on radio silence for much longer.

As promised, here are a few of the better ones.

Yes.  Yes.  Yes.  It’s that time again.  The little children are returning to their respective desks and cubbyholes tomorrow morn.  Vacation for them is now officially over, it is once again a school night.  Although, I shall miss their constant bickering, and arguing, and the fights, and the spills warm smiles, and adoring words of encouragement.  My daughter says the most truthful things ,and though they are meant to be supportive, they are hard to hear.   Ah, well the innocence of being a child knows no better.  But, since my minions will be hard at work tomorrow at their school, I must be hard at work as well.  I have done the math, and the result is not to my liking.  I will need to hit 1358 words per day, for the next 60 days (yes SIXTY) in order to finish DRC within my allotted time limit.  This is just draft Zero mind you.  So, in order for me to slice and dice that number down, I need to pound out closer to 2500 wpd.  *wipes sweat from brow line*.

The good news…today I managed to write a whole 495 words.  Yeah, I know, sad isn’t it.  Tomorrow more words shall be forced to populate the white city of paper.

On a different note, this will be the first time I will be posting my blog on my personal facebook account.  So, if you happen to read this and are one of my “limited” friends please drop me a comment.  I would love to hear what you think of my rantings thus far. 

The night is quickly settling upon me, and I must enjoy some read time before lights out.  So I bid ye..later dude.

Oh…almost forgot. I will be uploading some pics of Stone mountain trip for those who may have an interest.
