So Little Time

I can't keep up with writing two books at the same time. I work full time and I've got many interests. It's sad because I was really enjoying writing Derby City, but I need to finish "Mud Creek" first. I know where the story is going to go.

Hi everyone!

I just completed a full week back at work after a week off for snow. Sadly I was sick that week with an upper respiratory infection. I usually write early in the morning, but all last week I woke up feeling like death warmed over and didn't feel better until the afternoon. Luckily, I guess, I got better right in time for work.

I just wanted to share a bit about myself this week.

Mapping it Out

We're buried und a foot of snow, so no work today. I spent the morning mapping out the second half of "Mud Creek"

I'm so excited for this now. This story came together like magic. I struggled with the ending and resolution for over an hour, just contemplating people in my life, stories I've read, my own emotions. Then it came to me, like, how did I not realize it had to end like that.

I'm currently writing Chapter 21, and plan to end the story at Chapter 28. The Story is currently at 31,000 words and should hit 50 I think.

Didn't Write This Week

Well no time for writing this week, as the wife and I took a vacation to Gatlinburg TN. Or what I sometimes call the Redneck Riviera.

A Co-Worker AM Radio Story

I've recently been kind of engrossed with the whole idea of gender fluidity and a non binary definition of gender. I guess I've been thinking about these things my whole life, but only recently really started reading and thinking more seriously. The political season has lots of people all fired up and the supreme court case on gay marriage has got issues of "queerness" on peoples minds. I think something that really got me thinking about issues of gender was an argument I got in at work awhile back, this was last year when Caitlyn was in the news everyday.

Told My Wife I Was Gay

When I started writing my story the words just flew out of me. It's going a little slower now, I still have words, but I have to wring them out. I have chapter 10 almost written, but it's taken about a week. How about a little distraction writing from my real life.

Reading Gaby and....

Wow, so as I mentioned before I've been reading Gaby books in my spare time pretty much nonstop since I came across them a couple weeks ago. I'm not really a very emotional person, but try as I might I'm not Vulcan. My whole life I've always considered emotional expression kind of pathetic, I mean that's even what the word means, Pathos from Greek. I try hard to hide emotions most of the time. My wife is the opposite. I'm sure some of that is biological, but I'm also quite sure that I'm just acting as I've been trained and expected to act as a male.

How I Fell in Love With Gaby

So the other day I was searching amazon for a new book to read. I entered the search term cycling and scrolled down the list. I really enjoying cycling biographies and have read most of them. As I scrolled down the list I came across a book cover with a really cute Anime girl, it just seemed so out of place, I thought what could this book have to do with cycling. Well the description really offered no clues but I was curious. I'm not a huge anime fan, I like the really good stuff, Studio Ghibli, some of the better series, I'd just finished watching SteinsGate.
