looks like a nice morning out there. I got to bed at 1:15am tight after ECW and after my wide set the alarm for me I passed out by 1:30am I even listened to a bit of Art on open lines and it wasn’t half bad. I don’t take issue so much with Art but some of his guests are flakes. I was asleep by 1:30am and I slept until just before 6am so I had a good 4.5 hours of sleep and I rested in bed for a good 40 minutes before I decided to get up anyway and feed the cat. I fixed myself up a coffee and here I am.
So apparently Markus ended up moving several accounts to a
Dallas server so I’m in Dallas right now. We’ll see how this works but this was the main reason why I was of line last night. Thankfully I kept a back up link to my old Blogger site, which lets me get into my links etc.
This morning I’m heading into work and I’ll get myself a Tim’s coffee as JT is bringing donuts this morning. I usually save mine for the 2nd half just to get some energy in the 2nd half. But it “seems” we’re off OF for today at least, back to taps. Last night little midget James there took a seat next to me and we joked around all last night. Made the shift easier then it was. He was giving me some interesting insider information about our company I previously didn’t know. After work I’m considering a brief side trip to Shoppers Drug mart for test strips and if they have it a jar of coffee to refill what I’ve abused drinking lately. May as well do this while I have the money. Also, I’ve got no can pop so I’ll be buying from the machine instead this morning. Hopefully I can grab a nap when I come home and watch that Dallas/Vancouver game. Lets go Canucks.
Also, later tonight I want to do an initial edit on F and begin work on that. I might not be able to get out a hard copy (why bother I can’t read it right now anyway) so I might as well just work from the screen. F is 286 pages sitting at 86K. All I’m doing right now is catching the spelling mistakes and cleaning up the formatting. Sometimes I put little notes in there and stuff. If I can read 10 pages/day beginning today, I can have the whole thing read by the end of May. In, which case I should have my printer. And I’m going to make notes on the screen. The first rewrite should be done maybe June or July. The 2nd rewrite should be done about September. That will be the finale rewrite and then I’ll go over it a couple of times. If I’m lucky I may have it out the door by November and I might get results by this time next year. Of course this also means as I’m marketing F, I’ll begin work on S and so on. And I won’t mind shopping my book to the small press after the big 3 get a look at it. But in this case my first market is the small press as I want to get my first book published here in Canada. But that’s all for now.
