good evening everyone. welcome to another exciting edition of redlefthand. now with pictures.
so tomorrow i meet with brett to discuss the next few pages of the book. haven't written too much this week, what with various birthday things to take care of. our youngest has turned six, and there was much rejoicing. i made a cake. That's it just there to the side (if it's not to the side there, forgive me. this is my first attempt to add pics to a post... in fact, please forgive any and all pics that may be misplaced in this post). i know, it looks like a big onion, but my daughter said she loved it anyway. it had many layers, thanks to the cake saw my wife bought me for christmas:
(look at all those layers!)
my daughter was quite pleased with her presents, which i am most happy about, since i picked them out myself. does it hold negative connotations that i was able to successfully choose the perfect presents for a six-year-old's birthday?
(well, almost perfect...)
so onto book news. i've made it to page nine. yes, nine. i know, not a very big number. but hey, it's the largest single-digit number, right? so there's something. hopefully by tomorrow night we'll be on page twelve, in which we decribe in gruesome detail how exactly a man's leg is destroyed. good thing i've got my anatomy book handy:
(i was looking for the BIG book, but this one will have to do...)
that's pretty much where we stand right now. the book is coming along slowly, but my partner in this endeavor, who we shall call brett, because that is his name, is very pleased with the little amount of progress so far. i had initially proposed that, after we had finished our outline, i would
be the one to write it out, and then brett would read through it with any comments, criticisms and suggestions. this seems to be working out well so far. a few minor changes/improvements that i can easily live with, and am generally pleased with. he said he likes my writing style, which took a load off my mind. hard to work with someone when the two of you can't agree on an integral piece of the project.
that about wraps it up. not sure how much actual work will get done tonight. seeing as how my wife had to go into the restaurant and teach the managers how to close properly, after i put my daughter to bed i may have to sit in front of the xbox for a bit. Mass Effect 2 came out, and i feel that it is my duty to save the universe again. humanity is not going to save itself.
until something changes, i remain grim.
