so we are saaaaaacred....

so me and some friends are playing sacred 2 tonight... it is not the greatest of games, but it is a nice healthy dungeon crawler to tide us all over while we wait for diablo 3.

other, more relevant news. i am about two pages awy from finishing the first story of my book of short stories. it will run about 16,000 words all told, at least for the first rough draft. seems a bit long for a short story, but i guess if it is included in a book full of other, shorter stories, it may just be all right. i am very pleased with how this rough draft is turning out, and have called in the big guns (a published friend) to go over it for me. here's to hoping he does.

so, tomorrow night, if all goes according to plan, i will be celebrating. join me, won't you? raise a glass, or whatever it is you do, and celebrate what you've accomplished lately. setting goals is easy. achieving those goals takes some work. so don't just toast me, toast yourself. for whatever you've done lately, i applaud you. for your attempt and for your success.

until something changes... well you know the rest by now.

edit- router was being a dick. wouldn't let me hook up with my buddies. damn you router. why must you always be so strict?

new blog format

hello my friends. just checking out the new format for this blog here. i somehow managed to edit my way into a corner with the other one, and was unable to get out. so here is the new format.

hey! i'm looking for a logo that uses some sort of red left hand print in it. anyone that feels like giving it a go, feel free to let me know. i'll pick my favorite and use it, and i'll even give you credit (no money though... remember, not getting paid to write yet).

until something changes... well you know the rest.

so close

as the title implies, we are so close. the end is in sight. it's been a long battle, a hard road, but after this much pain and suffering, victory is inevitable. i can see the floor in the laundry room. a few more loads, and it is done.

oh, you thought i was talking about the book?

well, that's getting there. the first story is almost done, like it was last week... but the obstacle overcome this weekend would definitely have to be the laundry. i think my children are wearing more than one outfit at a time...

until something changes, i remain grim.
