"Beyond The Bio"
"Namaste: May the universal spirit in me...bow to the universal spirit in you... in oneness."

Yikes it's February.

Still tossing and turning on the tangled sheets of my mind. The book will be titled "Celeste(ial) Windows)" and the short story "The Sun Bows To Libra".
1/5/11
Thankful for the warm that is keeping me company tonight. 2 bright shiny new pages are written from the tangled sheets of my mind. The rest of the story is pretty much complete, just need to edit, edit, edit. Deadline for this 7 page story is Feb. 15th.
Angel had surgery on her eyelid today, came home and proceeded to scratch it. The white dog is now pink.
Miss Malice is spending 24 hours hooked up to a heart monitor. It only took 6 years to get her to see a doctor and she is quite possibly more stubborn than I.
Oh and "DORK" is definitely a flashing neon sign on my forehead.
Late December
Working on a short story for the festival in May. The name for the main character had to be changed from what it was in the book. It's too unique (which is great) and the change has made me fussy yet again.
The book is 3 months behind schedule and the short story is to more or less give me that sense of instant gratification.
May 2011 still allows 5 months to write and edit sooooo.....
Late November
Catching a bad cold in October did absolutely nothing for me. Writing came to almost a screeching halt. In 7 weeks only 6 chapters are organized. This task is presently insurmountable. There is a certain instant gratification in being a graphic artist even if a project takes 300 hrs, there is completion.

Hey G-d kinda looks like Vin Diesel 'cept G-d is cuter.

Still writing and have been since March. This is merely the journey of 100,000 whispers. These whispers are now gently being wrapped into a book.
In thinking of cover art, I had no idea of what to do. Seriously. However I had one customer that almost fit one the main characters and could have been used after a trip through CS4. I honestly considered paying for his picture ( clothed) but that is insane and in the end in knowing me I would not have been happy.
I think I inadvertantly scared it since scanning it. Denim too dark. Femurs perhaps 2" too long, shoulders 6" too narrow, pelvis 4" too narrow, jaw needed to be broader, etc. Ooops.Sorry dude or The Man In Black Leather as he is affectionately called just because ( read above).
On to Plan B, duh, I will use "Dollhouse" after covering the penis. This is afterall almost where the story begins.
I would like to finish the book within 3 months but would need complete solitude. ( A psych ward might be lovely this time of year) The final chapter will be the ultimate suicide and would probably give King the chills. Lol. Trust me on this. Yikes.
If you feel compelled to poop in my happy-o's please don't. I know what I am doing and still fishing poopy out of the bowl from someone that was supposedly my friend. Ummm it wasn't chocolate milk in there. But thanks for calling me a piece of shit anyway as had you not done this I quite possibly would never have found this other "voice."
Out of some 250 people ( in the real and virtual world) that have read bits and pieces of my work, the warm responses I have gotten are mostly from men. (All of them polite btw with NO mention of hotel rooms). While I was anticitpating 60/40 it's been more like 90/10 thus far. (Most women don't say anything at all.)
I always finish what I have to say especially when it's.....good.

Another rewrite. Karen is just not arrogant enough to write in 1st person. Karen is also fussy.
Close to 200 pages and in some parts I am about as eloquent as a box of rocks. That's ok for now. Not really.
This "little" project was intended to keep me warm this winter but I am running out of....time. Hopefully hanging out with other writers (when I can get there) will help. They're rather impressive at Cafe Black with their English degrees and experience.
This Taurean Bull only has stubbornness.

Fun non-fiction must be 100%. Easy enough.

There are god parts err good parts and then unfortunately the sad parts.
"The answers always come in the quiet." Val was right. Thanks Teach. Wonder if Linda sunshine stayed in touch? Just another note to self.
Still behind the scenes. 90% is non-fiction. 40% will need god parts.That's roughly 120-160 pages minimum or the title and cover art will have to be replaced and the point lost.
Back to digging through my pockets.
Hit the sad parts, have a bad cold, still work at the same place. It's work.
The night vision is ummm probably never coming back.
Much of my work posted on here will be deleted and in time I might put up a new site.
