Wow!

Yes, I'm been MIA big time, and I apologize. I went through a period of self discovery. I had to take a big step back to see if writing is what I really should be doing.

I'll be honest, when it comes to writing, I'm the BIGGEST procrastinator. When I should be writing, I'm playing video games or chillin' with my son. The former can wait, but the latter? He graduates this year and is heading for the Marines. I'm trying to spend as much time with him as I can.

To be honest, I know this is what I want, but I need to get on the grind and just write. I have LOTS of stories (as all writers do), but I don't have time. But, I've learned, if I write something down during my non-busy times, I'd have lots of stories completed. Amazing, huh? Time management works if APPLIED, and not thrown to the way side.

F'N halfbreeds. We learn too slow.

So for people who are actually reading what I write, I apologize. You want to read stories and I'm not delivering. I'll get on the ball and finish what I've started. Like you, I love reading a story that gets my mind off shit for a while. Thanks for being patient with me.

Back to writing. I have folks to entertain.

Redesign time

It's been a while since posting the last chapter of The Hard Way. Been busy looking for an editor to check my story before self-publishing.

Man, it's a process!

First, I want to redesign this spot. I threw it up just to get my story out there. I didn't care how it looked. I couldn't be more wrong. Folks are visual. They like to look at things that are pleasing, not half assed.

I threw this up half asses, and I don't want that to reflect me. I want it to look pleasing, yet simple. I'll definitely work on it in the days ahead

Back to the editing. Finding an editor can be time consuming, but I'm sure all would-be writers go through this process if their self-pubbing.

Cover, check. Guerilla marketing, working on it. Helping other writers more than myself, about 5 checks.

It's a long process, but very much worth it. It's a learning experience that I know I have to do, since this will be my bread and butter. Hey, gotta write to eat, right?

Peace.
