This morning I was listening to an old song, Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here." And it made me want to post today. Not sure why, but it definitely made me think about posting something here today. Several weeks ago, I asked Erin to re-publish my stories. My old laptop's hard drive failed and took everything I'd written and posted here, and a lot of other material as well.

Techdirt has as one of their deals of the day, Scrivener for $19.50.

Here's the link.

Best writer's software out there in my opinion.

Unpublish my stories? I'm not 100% sure of doing it yet, but I'm close enough that I'd like to know how. I promised Sephrena that I wouldn't just delete them.

Below is a picture showing the first page of JG Ballard's Crash. The marks all over it are the author's edits. When I'm doing my own edits, I do this. I print out my work to edit in a different font (and font size) so that it doesn't look the same as it does on the screen. I've read and can testify from experience that changing how the text looks can help see it fresh. It can help you see those things that you gloss over from familiarity and such.

I also thought it was just neat as hell.

So... Here's my list of current projects:

The Eagles are one of my favorite bands. Writing amazing music that fit several different genres, they left a trail of hit songs that I can listen to again and again almost forty years after they were written.

Here's probably one of my most favorite songs of theirs, it's been playing inside my head all day:

Okay... So I'm feeling like crap; mentally, physically and spiritually.

I'm sick again, and while it's just strep, my doctor is wanting me to get chest x-rays to make sure that my weirdo pneumonia isn't coming back.

I have one friend left in the real world. He's dealing with his mom's stage 4 pancreatic cancer. And, he doesn't know about Erica Jane. So the friends I have, the ones I can really talk to are the friends I've made here.

Right now, depression, anxiety and the pain are just kicking my ass. And I think I'm losing it.

I was denied Disability benefits today.

I'm going to appeal. I also got denied for a discount program that would have provided my insulin for free.

I might not be around much for awhile.

I'm not a cat person. They don't like me. So I definitely giggled at this...

Be warned! This blog post has a Cuteness Factor of over 9000! (kudos if you get the anime reference)

Someone in this newsmagazine's layout department has a sick sense of humor.

I may still post blog entries from time to time, but I won't be commenting on stories or blogs, not even my own. If I've got something to say, I'll send a PM.

On the recommendation of a friend... Also kudos to anyone who knows where the response to the title, "It will have to come out!" comes from...

I have two author pages. One that I've personalized a bit, and one that was created on the 1st. How do I delete the 2nd one? It was a nice thought, but I have one...

It is a "real life" tagged serial/novel, if I recall correctly. It takes place in England. A fellow comes home from work early and finds his wife in bed with another man. He heads off, after leaving a note saying he'd be filing for divorce. He decides at this point that he's going to transition permanently at this point.

She drives off and her car breaks down near a small seaside village. She starts making friends and falls head over heels for this woman living alone in the village who has a number of cats.
