THE TITLE IS: WE HAVE AN S&M COUCH

Not behind but trying my best to keep my head above water in so many ways, Mostly good ways too for a change. Sorry for the lack of updates of late. Not even counting the pay the rent job I have had so many little things I'm working on in getting projects birthed and moving forward and other such baby steps towards bigger steps.

Sunday I got the 1st Draft of Stereo back from the editor. I think she deserves a raise for trying to edit my insanity. Now I need to read it over again and make my own notes, meet with her to discuss her notes, and then off to finish the 2nd Draft and hopefully final draft. The book will not be out until mid 2008 but I really do not want to go into 4th and 5th drafts because that will get the publishing schedule of the line behind. I would like to get it finished and in the can to use a film term way ahead of time so we can plan other tie in materials and also the next book in the line.

The next teaser image for Stereo will appear here in Sept and hopefully soon after that the launch of the official website. I’m currently looking for an independent local website design group to work with on that.

We commissioned a piece of artwork to be used for a t-shirt with the proceeds going to charity a few weeks ago. Last night I talked to a group about the proceeds going to them. That should be done by the first week of August so hopefully I will have more news on that next week. Just awaiting approval on art design from the group proceeds will be going to and we can hand over to artist for him to begin his fun.

I think that is about all?

THE TITLE IS: SMILES DON'T WORK WHEN YOU'VE HAD THINGS SHOVED UP FOR MILES

The pay the rent job is driving a nail down my spine at a sideways angle. Or in other words, it is really getting on my nerves, pissing me off, getting up my shorts- And not in any good way either on all three counts.

Mar’s mom is still in the hospital. I’m going to do everything I can to try and help release some stress I may cause or can help with. Tonight, I buy milk on the way home so my love can have coffee in the morning. Thanks P for asking and sending good wishes. I will let her know people are thinking about her mom during this time. Even some who have not meet her.

I have a ton of reports and other sorts of work to get done tonight and I have to be in at 10am in the morning so I will not be able to do much of a post. I will be starting my, “trying to eat better” effort tomorrow when I try to cut down my daily calorie intake to around 1500calories per day. I can’t quite soda cold turkey because of the headaches it gives me when I do not drink them but I plan to watch my diet on everything else. Today I did not do so well. 2060 calories. Now I don’t have exact facts on the stuff they serve in the work cafeteria so I compared to McDonalds stuff and figured it couldn’t be anymore. At least their stuff isn’t really greasy. The sodas are what will really kill me because they are 250cal per bottle. Shit son that sucks. And of course all of this will do me jack shit if I don’t start exercising also.

Right now writing wise I’m working on a script for a web comic that will be used to set up and promote the book. Still searching for an artist for it but it is coming along nicely and surprising me in ways that I think it will make itself interesting to others. Found the editor I want for the book also so that project as a whole is moving along nicely.

Well, that’s it for tonight. Keep Mar’s mom in your thoughts,
C.

THE TITLE IS:ONCE I WAS LOST BUT THEN I FOUND MYSELF and it felt good...

bI have not spoken here much about writing of late. Really to be honest I have not been doing much writing the past two months. Just recently though I came into contact with an artist and we will be working on a project together within my company structure, hopefully several projects together and that has given me new energy towards my own work on the book also. I am currently finishing up the 2nd Draft of the book which should be finished before the end of the month. Then it will be turned over to an editor who hopefully will tare it apart in good ways so I can put it back together and get it out into the hands of readers.

Nothing new to announce company wise either, except that the first project we should be producing appears in my eyes to be something special. But that project is in the early early planning stages but talking to the artist involved has me nothing but excited about seeing it start to mature into the actual production stage of things.

I had the weekend off from the pay the rent job and spent it for the most part spending way too much money. Stops off at BooksAMillion, Hot Topic, and other places had me a little tapped for cash when you throw in business spending also. Got the first bath of character sketches from a artist I'm working with and also put aside money for an editor when I find the right one for the book. Wave picked up what she needed for a costume she will be wearing, and not just for Halloween but that is for her to reveal. I was sad though because besides going as a vampire there really is not much of a choice for what to dress up as for someone without any front teeth. I was even thinking of going as Doctor Who but I don't know. Just something else to make me depressed about being a toothless wonder. Cry me a river later, I know, Poor me.

Speaking of crying. Paris Hilton. Enough said. Here is the truth. I enjoyed seeing that and so did a lot of you. Admit it. We hate human suffering except when it hits those we do not like very much. It has to be a terrible experience for her being she has never went through something like this before that is that much out of her control and that sheriff did her no favors. He pulled her out of jail and put her at home where she probably felt safe as most of us do at home but then she was jerked back to jail. The person I hate in all of this is that sheriff. Paris deserved what she got but she did not deserve to be put in this struggle between figures of power them being the sheriff and the judge. Hopefully she will come out of this a better person but I do not really belive that. Sorry just my view. Here is my advice, Paris at least have someone drive you places. Hell, if I had her money my ass would never drive myself anywhere. The main difference would be me having a driver driving me around in a pick up truck instead of a limo. Not that I usually drive anywhere not but for work but that is because my truck is a piece of shit.

Oh, and as for comments left here and elsewhere.

Mar,
You really should not talk about such sinful things. Go ask for forgiv....Sorry, could not even complete that. Johnny is hot but come on Orlando is just a classic Hollywood screen idol.

Robbin,
Glade I did something that made you feel funny in your pants. And I do belive that maybe the most non meaning to be but turned out to be perverted thing I have ever written.
I haven't purchased the GGP's CD. I thought I would give them a shout out so to speak anyways. I plan to but keep forgetting every time I get paid and before you know it, no money left. :(
John needs to update his site. His fans are demanding it! :) John needs to ready this blog because I need fans :(

Is there any news outside Paris? Lets see.

Turkey Shells Northern Iraq
Tension remains high on the border of Iraq and Turkey. The Iraqi Foreign Ministry has accused Turkey of intensively shelling Kurdish areas in northern Iraq. The shelling reportedly caused wide fires and large amounts of damage. Meanwhile four Turkish soldiers were killed in a roadside bomb 45 miles north of the border.
Turkey
Who else sees this as one of the signs of the whole region turning into one large cluster fuck? Thanks George, grateful to you for making the world safer for all of us.

Computer has locked up again. And once again on Neil Gaiman's site. I think this computer has a thing for him. That or it just loves reading about his new dog.

The computer is now unstuck but it closed down all my browser windows while doing so. Be right back, have to open up a lot of things again I was working on.

While the computer is running slower than my brain early in the morning I will mention that starting this Sunday I will start posting reviews here of books, movies, and such I have watched, read, or such. I wish to start doing this for two fold reasons. One, it will stretch some writing muscles I usually tend not to work out that often and two, I think it might be a fun way to introduce some people to some things I enjoy. Ok, with that being said do not look for any New York Times sort of reviews. One these reviews will be honest, the Times hasn't been that in years and these will be my spoiler free thoughts of things I have recently purchased, borrowed, five fingered, or checked out at the library....ok, no five fingering action but it fit in the list I was making and I was on a role. I hope everyone enjoys them though and I hope you find something to enjoy through me writing them. The first review will be on Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman: Derailed by Peter David. See you on Sunday for the review. Hope you enjoy.

'Gay Bomb'
**Shakes head** **Bangs head against desk** Ok, I think I'm officially going nuts. Did I just read that. I found this on Warren Ellis site.

I think I will stop the online surfing before I run into something that really pisses me off. Plus, I want to work on the book tonight. Maybe hit at least three chapters before the night ends.

AND THE TITLE IS: WHO’S BETTER THAN CANON?!

My last thought last night when leaving work at around 1am was,
“At least I don’t have to worry about Robin stealing my Slim Jim’s”

My first thought when coming into work today was,
“Why aren’t more people like Robin because I’M READY TO THROW SOFT TOY DUCKS AT SOME OF THESE SLACK OFFS!”

Mar? Put that on our to do list. Clone Robin! The world needs more Robin’s.

My current thoughts at work are,
“Wonder if I went home, would anyone notice? Damn me for being responsible!”

From Work Whining To Responses To Comments Left:

Love you Mar. Just needed to say it and it sort of fitted here nice and neat on its own.

Geek Speak:

Went to a bookstore today. They had a three for two deal on all comic trade paper backs. I picked up this and this and this and thisoops, this and this and this and finally this. The last one being one I will be donating to the local library for their YA section because the library does not have it and I think it should. After my book buying we stopped of at a clothing store for Wave and then we stopped off and picked up some clearance cloths at our favorite clearance clothing place for both of us before heading back and myself, I headed straight into work so I did not get a chance to read any of my new stuff yet. It was either spend $60 bucks on some trades or I was going to blow $200+ on a iPod. I think my bank account, if I actually had one, won on my choice. And yes I understand that is just rationalizing. My brain, my sanity. I might write some reviews as I read these but probably wont so don‘t expect anything.

FinishedThe Hardcore Diaries last night. Not as good as Mick Foley’s first two books but I did not know he had written two novels also so I will have to see if I can find those somewhere to check them out.

Back To Reality:

I typed up the first chapter of the second book in the book series that I’m currently working on the first book of last night. Now if that is not confusing enough I already wrote the first three chapters of book five in the series. All being done because I have to get certain future things in line for some characters in book one to make sure it flows correctly to the other books. Maybe not the best way to do things but it is my madness to play with. Besides the first book will be sort of a world building story and the rest are stand alone stories but because they exist in the same world they effect each other. And then only the last five are truly a continued story. Also each book moves forward in time so things need to march ahead correctly or I will kill myself being the canon geek that I am.

I give you a good night with this. Two sexy ladies there.

AND THE TITLE IS: LETS PLAY HIT THE DUMBASS..SORT OF LIKE HITTING THE BARN

……my mother has always told me to watch my mouth or it may just get me into the preverbal hot water…Though at times I don’t care to listen to her……..At times I just gots to say what I just gots to say…at times I’m on the edge and enjoy it….

From Work Whining To Responses To Comments Left:

Yes, Mar as you know better than anyone. I am a geek! As for your second comment…..Damn!

Geek Speak:

And speaking of my geekdom. Here is a Doctor Who taste. Donate people. As someone who could never do without hearing because of my great love for music and sound or do without any of my senses I have no idea how strong people are to live life without one of those things most of us take for granted daily.

Back To Reality:

The short story is playing weeble wobble I won’t fall down with my brain right now because it keeps feeding me with things it needs. And look out here comes back the book for attention.

Sometimes when I’m working on a story I find myself speaking conversation between the characters in moments of mediation. Mostly I do the mediation thing in moments of trying not to show people just how deadly an cell phone could be if hurled in their direction. This conversation of characters or as some may say, He’s talking to himself, helps me get into the heads of the characters. Hardly any of this improv of dialogue gets into the actual stories but it helps me when writing these characters and when I put them into certain situations to see how they would react. The following was a conversation that went on in my head with two of the characters from the short story I’m currently working on when I was taking a break from thoughts of boldly injuring someone,

‘There are those who argue God has destined for the planet to die around us.’
‘And there are those who would argue the best food is Big Mac’s.’
‘How does that fit?’
‘I don’t know but you mentioned religion and I only have two choices. Get some comfort food to take my mind away or find the nearest Southern Baptist church and pay a team of rent a strippers to crash the Sunday morning service.’
‘They have rent a strippers?’
‘No but this is my rant. Go away into your own mycosis.’
‘Your weird. And mycosis does not fit either.’

I sort of like that. I might put it in?

I give you a good night with this. A friend of Mar’s and The Queen should like that. But me? I still like my steaks a little red so I can see it was once a living thing....wait, that doesn't fit.....
