And the winner is!

Cody and Nikki sort of...

On Thursday I posted a few comments about reaching a major milestone, the book was not finished then- but it is now!

I wrote my first book ever, and I think it is pretty good. I have some editing to do, some details to add- but overall I am quite pleased. It is 66,000+ words, 120 pages singled spaced, 12 point times new roman.

I will now have to start trying to find and agent, join a writers guild, or find out some other way to get noticed, and published!

A special thanks to all of my friends who believe in me, one day I may be able to put you in my acknowledgements section.

I would still like to make a trip to the FBI located on One Justice Way in Dallas Texas- it is odd, when you start researching things for a book, sometimes you realized how easy some things are, and at the same times, some things are often much more complex than you ever thought they would be.

Another special shout out to God above, who is the master creator, and as Julia Cameron points out- he is an endless source of creativity. I hope that my book is real, and pleasing to him at the same time. Often times I found myself led to write on a more worldly level, but I wanted something my mother could read, and I could not be ashamed of.

This weekend has been good to me. I went to Lousiana on a Song of Solomon conference and met the woman that I will Marry since Nikki declined my multiple proposals, I thought the one from the hot air balloon was really good. Amanda, declined me as well, and so did sarah, all for reasons that seemed genuine at the time, I was too tall, or too funny, or too smart, I really liked the one where they said I was "too good looking", they are too kind.

Anyway, back to my future bride, she is 5' 4" tall, cute as a button, and is just as handy as they come. When I needed a good laugh, she provided one, when I needed a bottle of water, she handed me evian, when I needed a pen, she cut herself and allowed me to use her blood. She already has two kids in college, and a nice Z71 Tahoe, a nice Victorian style home, and she is an interior designer. I am just waiting for her husband to die so we can move on with our lives together.

On a much more negative note, I tried to pay my phone bill, but they wouldn't let me do it with a credit card over the phone- and right now I need to pay with credit, I have the cash, but I want to keep it safely in the bank, and sometimes not being contrained by the digitial devices of this world is kind of nice.

If you don't know this about me, then it is time I told you- Sometimes I need a small break from reality, especially after something like this SOS conference I was just at. You talk to so many people, and you have to be nice even when people aren't nice to you. You laugh and you talk and you reach out, and then you are very tired, and you want nothing more than to just veg out and to be left alone. Then, once I have had sufficient time to vegetate, then I am back to my loveable self, I hope I am loveable- am I loveable? People sometimes tell me that I am, but normally that is after I have slipped them a twenty!


I have written much this time because my banter over the last few weeks has been minimal. THE BOOK has taken most of my time- yes, that is what it is called.

I have updated, refreshed the comments portion of my website, so please feel free to drop me a line-

I miss you and love you.

Hugs and Kisses!
