I would love to post more about my book but my next few pages are in South Carolina.

I wish I would've taken all my stuff with me when I left South Carolina, regretfully I didnt have enough money to rent a Uhaul, and whats even worse is I didnt grab all the pages I printed out on my book. So somewhere in a little storage unit in South Carolina is about 5 pages of single spaced typed words of my book. Now I remember enough about those 5 pages that I wouldnt have to worry too much about rewriting them. But I would love to just go get them, put them in the parts of my book that I already have, and then go from there. I have continued writing past that, seeing as how I grab the pages after that. I should probably just go back and rewrite it, that way I could send it off as soon as I finish it, seeing as how I will probably not ever get back to South Carolina with the amount of money it would take to get my stuff out of storage until I sell my book. So far I have had people only say good things about what I wrote. I just recently sent off the first part of the book to Brandon Sanderson for him to read. I saw him at the book signing for his latest book, The Alloy of Law, in Huntington Beach. He said he would read what I send him, and he is a real down to earth guy so I believed him when he said that.
I hope he really likes it and offers words of encouragement or criticism to help me finish my book. I need that type of motivation because I get distracted easily. Well I hope to get more of my book done, I am trying to be more industrious. I have a few projects going on, and I would love support, so if you know anyone who likes reading, tell them to come here, I would love to have more people read what I have written and offer any advice. Thanks for reading.

A good friend told me I need to remember my dreams.

So I dont know if I have ever mentioned that I dont remember my dreams. The only ones I remember are ones that wake me up in the middle of them, which are usually nightmares. If I sleep the whole night threw I dont remember them. Is this my subconscious telling me I should write horror stories? I dont know, because most of mine are dealing more with just straight dying then actually being scary. Does this mean anything as well? I am constantly dreaming of dying or near death situations, not in extremely scary settings. Like last night, I was chased down by a woman with a gun and shot. I will spare the extra details, but we will just say, she had a story, a lie about me doing something that I didnt and when I didnt go along with her story, and implied that she was at fault, she became extremely upset with me and shot me.
Its the shock of dying or almost dying that breaks me out of sleep. Thus allowing me to remember the dream I was currently in. I am sure I have better, more fun dreams that would be more like what I would like to write about but I can not remember them.
I feel like continuing writing the book that I started this blog for, it gets hard when I am constantly being interrupted. I wrote mainly at work, when I was in the Air Force, the down time of just sitting and waiting and listening for stuff we reported was a lifetime, so I was constantly writing, having a computer, one that was mine for all shift helped too. Now I dont get a computer and we are constantly interrupted here. I could write at home, but that requires me to have some self restraint which I am sorely in need of. I do know that I enjoy books, fantasy ones, that explain in sufficient manner how the magic that they use works. I dont like books, or like books less, that just say, he waggled his fingers and shot out a fireball. It just is poor craftsmanship, I want to know how he does that, where he draws his power from, maybe I am a nerd, but I like to be entertained and believe that on some distant world there are people who can pull power from the flow of magic from the air and channel it through themselves, or learn the true name of something and command it to do as their bidding, not just yell out fireball and it magically, yes I know, appear. That seems enough for now.

Another possible book idea.

So I think it would be totally fun to write how-to books without knowing how to do something in the first place. Just use my imagination to make up how to do a whole variety of things. From cooking, crafts, carpentry to raising kids, psychiatry and marriage. I think it would be something hilarious. Especially since I am good at making things up. I think most people would be surprised at how much I dont know, I just talk confidently and act like I know what I am talking about. Most people dont do enough research to find out that I am totally full of crap haha. Maybe saying so on here isnt the best idea, but people are forgetful too, they wont remember that my confidence is feigned. I am just that good, haha.

1 year older, almost.

So I am 1 year older from the time of my last post, and nothing has changed. I thought things had, but now I am back where I was a year ago. It is funny how life is like that. I havent written much on any book idea I have had, yet I have had an idea about a TV show. It would be somewhat like cheaters, the reality show that followed the significant others of people who thought they were being cheated on. But this show would be called "Unfit" or something like that. It would follow ex spouses who had custody of children around, set on by the person who wanted to prove that they should be taking care of the children, not the parent who had custodial rights at the time.
They would have private investigators follow and gather information on both of the parents and if both parents agreed they would hold a Judge Judy type courtroom appearance to figure out if the parent who brought up the case had enough to get better if not custodial rights of the children. If the parent the charges were brought against did not want to be seen in court before a TV judge then the show would foot the bill for the case, if there was enough evidence, as long as the parent who contacted the show in the first place, and gave an interview afterwards, hopefully with the children.
Well thats all for now, and why I should be saddened after recent happenings in my life, maybe that will come later, but for now I am sort of relieved. In a sense that I can settle down and have a peaceful life once again. Well as peaceful as it can get for me. Maybe I will get a job on the east coast and be able to accept it. If only I could hear back from ALI. Oh well, thanks for reading.
