Here I am
OK….I know I have really fallen down on the job. For what it’s worth I have a good excuse and something coming to make up for it.

What it’s been like
It’s been almost 3 months since you’ve heard from me and for that, I greatly apologize. Part of it was not my doing and part of it was. As always I seem to be apologizing to all of you. Have been since 2007 when I first started my podcast. Motivation doesn’t come easy to me and I’m still trying to get a handle on it.

Still alive
Wanted to check in real quick and let you all know I was still alive. I haven’t been doing much to check in with society in any regard. I haven’t really been playing WoW or writing here. Haven’t written on my book or kept up with friend’s blogs and IM’s. I’ve basically been sleeping, going to karate, trying to work out, dealing with anxiety and headaches, and repeating the process.

Poke
Dropping a quick note to say hello. Thank you to everyone who sent me well wishes for my Birthday. They were much appreciated. I even got a few email cards from people I don’t remember every speaking with. Weird.

Quick
First….happy bday to Tat for Dec 8, 2005…I’m a little late getting it up here for yesterday. She had a decent time with us last night and I gave her a bunch of nail stuff. She has more coming for Saturday when we go out to eat to celebrate her, Daddy’s Mom and Aunt’s bday.

Being noticed
It’s honestly amusing the stuff I get excited about. I just love the fact that Miss Snark mentioned me in her blog again! What’s with that?? Read the post to see it all…

The Secrets Podcasts listing
I found a great bunch of podcasts from Author Micheal Stackpole on how to write. After listening to the first one I ran to get the rest of them. My first podcast rss feed. He also has a series of newsletters via PDF that are a $1 an issue ($2 an issue for back dated stuff) that I’m going to have to go and get. A buck isn’t bad for great advice and it’s tax deductible if I ever sell a book. LOL

One for the other
Well I can choose to be annoyed that I didn’t write yesterday or today…or I can be happy that I overcame my soreness and did a decent workout for 45 mins. I think it’s a pretty fair trade.

Ok I lied…
After I blogged I looked at the edits that my critter suggested. It was enough to prompt me to want more then 50 extra words after fixing things. So my total for tonight was 1285 new words! Who hoo!

Way to work on a book
After finishing my Prologue and first two chapters yesterday with a total of 5266 words (26 pages) I sent off the file to a few people for critique. Everyone that read it seemed to like it and after incorporating some of their comments I was able to add 579 words today while explaining some things that were confusing in those three chapters.

Yeah! More words
I had the opportunity to write some more this evening and finished my Prologue and my 2nd Chapter. I went back over the whole thing and read it for flow and it seems to go ok. I’m very happy. So I’m at 5266 words. That means I wrote over 2000 words today. Daddy had me stop and help him several times while I was working but helped me with some plot issues to help make up for some of the lost time.

I'll be realistic…
A quick entry before my eyes fall out of my head. Today was slightly better then yesterday. A continuation of a discussion Daddy and I had was concluded this evening. I didn’t like some of it…the rest of it made sense. Live and learn.

Can I go to sleep yet?
Today was a really hard day. I was just off my game emotionally and it caused some problems with Daddy. I’ve been so hyped on making this site mine and getting traffic that I wasn’t paying much attention to how I could follow his preferences AND do some of what I wanted to do. Though a difficult conversation we compromised on an individual page that explains RSS and how you can subscribe to my site via the many forms of it. You’ll see that it’s a new page listed on the site that says “Add Kimi’s Blog Feed“. Go ahead…click it then come back when you are done :0 He’s promised to give me some time soon to help me figure out a few more things I want to do in a way he can deal with. The upshot is…I was not a happy camper when I hit karate class.

Update on today's events
I’m exhausted. I feel like a total loser because I don’t feel like I have the energy to do any writing. Even though Daddy gave me permission to split my time 50/50 between work he wanted done and time for writing I haven’t written a thing. That isn’t to say I spent 100 percent of my time working on Daddy’s stuff. I suppose I spent all my writing time up trying to link my blog and doing research on the blogs of other writers.

Um…hmm
Ok…well after having just spent 45 mins on the phone trying to explain my plot to my Mom…my throat hurts and I have a headache. LOL I also think my mom’s a bit confused though gets the general gist of it. While it solitifies my belief in my grasp of my plot…it scares the hell out of me how much of a pretzel it’s in and my worry that I’ll actually be able to unwind the torrid mess enough for the reader to understand. Here’s to never doing anything the easy way.

Obsession
Ever since Daddy mentioned to me in the car that I should write the book I’ve always wanted to, I’ve kind of been obsessed. I’m not sure what kicked me in the ass this time and said “Yes…this time I will do it” as opposed to the few previous times before where I went “hm…that would be really cool…wonder what I could write…oh look shiny!” Part of me thinks this is amazingly cool. I’ve already written more on this piece then I ever wrote on the one I planned in high school. I have a full story with only a couple holes left to fill. I have a few amazing friends who are being extremely encouraging and helping with brainstorming and thoughts. And I’m finding time to actually do it. Just think of the sleep I’ve given up in the last week for this book! (inside joke)
