It’s been an okay day. I didn’t make it to the gym. )= I did read two chapters out of The Seeing, the last part in a trilogy. The main protagonist, a teenage boy named Luke, trips on some drug that is supposed to allow him to see the spirit realm. Boy was he wrong to do that. lol. The chapter I stopped on was where Luke is coming out of his trip.
I want some fantasy to read- something wholesome and preferably Christian.
I just checked and there are quite a few Christian fantasy authors out there. I wanted to know more about this one dude that sounded like his books were attractive. His name is Craig Halloran. Most of what I saw was alluring-dragons, magic, swords and shields, mysterious worlds. Unfortunately, most of them are exclusively on Kindle. One author got his muse from fantasy games! Who’d a thought it?
Jim is home. He and my mom are having fish for dinner – yuck! The only sea food I eat is shrimp, crab and lobster as well as calamari.
So I got this real good idea for a Writer’s Cramp entry. Then I realized it was a basic cop out of my unpublished novel The Gate of Vessels. I was in the middle of doing my outline, and then I caught myself. lol. The Cramp prompt was to write about something happening at the end of Summer. Oh well, there is always tomorrow.
Chad called me. We spoke for like four minutes. He was trying on clothes and shoes for his first day at Del Taco on Monday. I need a job. )= I want to get a hold of my anxiety so I can get a job and move out - and drive.
My mom set out some texts to all our family about the gathering together at our house. Its’ going to be a mad house. lol. I’ll be happy to see my bro’s and his wife’s baby. Butters, their dog, should be coming too. She’s a Shih Tzu like our smaller dogs.
I was feeling horrible fro like a few minutes. I don’t know what it was so I audibly rebuked the Devil. It passed.
I’m so happy how closer to the Lord I am. My anxiety is very negligible at best. Usually when I listen to music, I pace around the computer room. Now I don’t. I just relax.
Jim is on the phone concerning a financial thing. He’s on hold in the que. Up, he’s with a rep now.
I checked and I have over 15 anniversary reviews or more. I want to do more Please Review reviews. That will help others to review my chapter; it’s over 3k words long. lol.
I’m excited for the second Tales of Arcadia installment. I’m also looking forward to the new Dragon’s movie to come out. I’ll just wait until it comes out on Amazon in HD quality.
Well, that is it for now. Goodbye.

I did three reviews today – two an anniversary and one from the Please Review page. The one from the Please Review page was atrocious. I surmise it was not proofread. I did four pages of feedback to the author. I hope he or she corrects it so I can enjoy it more.
I got up super late at like 11:30 A.M. Oy. I so wished I’d gone to the gym. Oh well – hopefully tomorrow.
One of the FSFS members said she is not active enough on WdC to promote A.E. Wilcox as the next leader of the group. I plan to do some more Thrice Prompted stories and it called Matt, our former head, to read them when you come to the point where an awardicon is being given. I want more prompts that appeal to me. But Matt can’t do it looks like. Someone better step up.
I think I may want to do another mini contest. I intended to make a one year premium membership a prize but it is almost $100.I think I’ll make it a one year upgraded membership. lol. There will also be MBs given out. I still don’t know what the prompt will be. It should be a cinch. Maybe it will be to write an essay on who is one of your favorite author and why. Or it could maybe to write a story in space, castle, or another realm/dimension. That sounds good.
Jim works today. That means he’ll be off on Saturday and Sunday. Or one day of the weekend at least.
Last night the sermon was about Jesus getting arrested by the Pharisee soldiers. We only went as far as the 27th verse of a chapter in John. I forgot which one. lol. It was good. I bounced when service was over. Before I did Bob, the Most Excellent way Dude, prayed over me. After that Dan brought me home just as Jim was about to go to bed. Jim is at work now. I think he’ll come home by 7 P.M. or so.
So Lonnie came by and picked up a part from our house of a hanging board. My bro broke a part of the first one and bought a new one. We gave that one to Lonnie in exchange for some of his services.
It’s 97 degrees outside. It’s been in the triple digits. That means the temp is cooling.
I just texted Gio. He does not sound like talking. I wonder why. I would have pursued him further but my phone was on 20% so I had to charge it. lol. I said I’d hit him up tomorrow.
I still need a publisher to submit to. But I think I’ll edit my story over one more time.
Well, that is it for now. Goodbye.

This will be short as I will be going to church soon.
The day began well. I got up at about 6 A.M. after I heard a knock at the door. The person who got our package accidently, put it at our front door. It was a box of anime movies. My mom and I love those.
I went to the gym! I hope to go tomorrow. I did my chest. This one guy I know of was there alone at the front desk. I gave him a fist bump on the way out. He said he will be there on Friday. There are some cute chicks that work there but they’re all too young. lol. The odds of finding a girl my age that is single is slim. I’m 35. Oh, well.
I did not win the Cramp. )= so sad. Every writer gets lots of rejection at first. lol. I will get better – for sure.
Dan just got back to me. He’ll be taking me to church at 6:45 PM. I may not hang out afterwards. He said he was not. Everyone is going to one of the pastor’s house to celebrate birthdays and eat pizza. I’m on a diet. Plus, I don’t want to hang out until like 11 P.M. I have to go to the Gym in the morning. lol.
I hit the PS4 for too long – a little over an hour. I had fun. Other players bite much more frequently with ranked matches.
My mom is talking about my personal and old scholastic life. She’s a blabber mouth. lol. She speaks well of me anyway -mostly.
It was very cool when I went to the gym this morning. It was nice.
My mom was watching Trollhunters for the umpteenth time. It’s all good though. (= I like that show. I can’t wait until the extension of the series comes out. It’s supposed to be more lighthearted and wacky. I’m thinking it will premier in mid-2019.
I had some cereal. It made me tired so I slept. I drooled over my pillow. lol. It’s nothing new.
I need to do more writing. I’ve been slacking. Today’s Cramp prompt very appealing. It was having a weird experience and then explaining it to another person. I could have written so many things.
I read a chapter today. I’m going to see if I can forego the PS4 to write and read.
Well, that is it for now. Goodbye.

My whole day has been alright. I was here when Lonnie was putting in the new kitchen tap spout. It is pretty cool. There is a small light indicator that is near the base tells you how hot or cold it si by the color of the light i.e. the bluer the colder and redder the hotter. It is also touch activated - which is pretty nifty. Lonnie also hooked up the new waste disposal. Lonnie is suffering with kidney stones. He said he was peeing blood. The poor guy needs a vacation. My mom and I prayed for him concerning another matter. Kyle, his future son-in-law who is his helper, quit working with him. It mainly concerns Lonnie’s daughter. I won’t get into it though. Anyway, he’ll be back in a few days to finish everything. There’s a part we need to order first.
Jim is working his eight hour shift at Albertson’s. I hope he doesn’t have to work so long tomorrow.
Chad is still saying that Star Trek is evil. He sent me a link that said totally false or inflated accusations. They were extremists. lol. But Chad won’t listen to reason. It is true Gene was an atheist. But he doesn’t push any anti-God propaganda in his series. And even if he did it would not affect me.
Tonight is Most Excellent Way and I’m eager to go. It is my weekly dose of the Word and God’s Holy Spirit -more so than regular service. Next Sunday Ricky should be able to pick me up. I did not see him there yesterday. He switches from Calvary Lone Mountain and Calvary Paradise.

Blessed is the people who know the joyful sound. They will walk O Lord in the light of Your countenance. Psalm 89:15

I’m just working on small verses that pop out to me.
Psalm 86:12 I will praise You O lord my God with all my heart and I will glorify Your name for evermore.

I hit the PS4 for thirty minutes. I was getting killed a bit. lol. This one dude I was playing with was really good. lol.
I need to get the ball rolling with my paratransit thing. I could visit Chad that way. That is my main motivation. It’s been years since I’ve seen him. We talk all the time on the phone thanks to Chad.
Jim is home. I hope he can just relax. He needs it.
I think I’ll start a new story from one of the prompt on the WdC HUB page. For some reason I have to refresh the page. I don’t know how.
Well, that is it for now. Goodbye.

I’m in that rut stage again – no motivation to write. I was going to enter the Cramp but the prompt was too hard. We had to make a poem or a story and not use the letter “e.” Way too challenging!
Today’s sermon was good. It was called “Fight the Good Fight.” It was out of 1 Timothy 6. Pastor Jimmy mentioned the fallacy of evolution and how it is taught as fact. A lady he was talking to at one time said it is not even a theory but a fact. That’s called ignorant thinking. I saw Ben at church. He was well. Jordan and his new bride Shannon are going to California to go to college. It’s bitter sweet. Chason, the head of the children’s ministry, will be moving with his new bride to Mexico to minister here. One of the workers there will be taking his shoes. Her name is Ashley I think.
Jim is off today. He’s asleep in front of the TV. lol.
My mom is taking care of all this paper work. Tomorrow we’ll go to Walgreens, where me pharmacy is, and print out some info. I think the information is for my snap/food card. It will only give me an extra $10 a month but every little bit helps.
I talked to my mom briefly about getting a job at CVS or Walgreens. I will keep praying about it. It would be a two-fold profit – it will give me something to do and it will give me income. (= I would be checking and that is new. Lines are pretty much moderate at the most at Walgreens.
Being 35, I may never get married at this point. Not to be pompous, but I am a good looking guy. My 25 year old friend Michael is the same way. As a kid and teenager, I resolved to never get married. I intended that my job would be my life - much like being a pro author as a matter of fact. There will be lots of rejection at first, much like what Amanda did to me. But it’s all good. I know I’ll be a fine writer in the near future. I have a YouTube playlist with writing how-to vids. In one of them, a fantasy writer gave some pointers. One thing he said is that as an aspiring writer, “You’re going to lose your faith, you’re going to find it again.” That is a good adage when you feel like you have or will give up. I also know God is helping me.
My mom cooked a burger patty for herself. I had a thick sandwich earlier. If only the deli meat is not so expensive. I like the Boar’s Head brand but only Smith’s carries it. It’s a few blocks down from where we live.
Tomorrow I will go to the gym. I must. It’s something God would want I’m sure. I’ve noticed a lot more people are there in the early morning. That shows you how recently I have been to the gym. lol.
Well, that’s it for tonight. Tootles.

I got up late again. I need to start writing on projects more. While I have been waiting for my story to be critiqued, I have done none. )= I have to check out more contests man. I have been reading though. I read three chapters like the goal I set. (= Tomorrow, I’m entering the Cramp.
Amanda still feels the same way even after I edited it. She’s pretty tough. But I’m not giving up. As the saying I heard a while ago, “Losers dwell on mistakes, winners build upon them.” I also asked her if she would review my first chapter to the Gate of Vessels. I hope she likes it. lol.
Chad’s not called me yet. He may though. He starts his new job in a few days. He’s excited. It’s a fifteen minute walk to Dell Taco - his work. I’m hoping he likes it and that it’s not too hard on him.
I hit the PS4 for an hour. I was winning. I may forego games tomorrow though. I’ve got to focus on my writing but more needful I must read more. Reading is the life juice of writing – another quote I heard.
I texted my older sister yesterday. She was shooting me pics of the inside of this alien themed pizza, arcade place. She said it was kind of like Chuckee Cheeze but with pizza that does not taste like cardboard. lol.
Jim is working now. He got off real late yesterday like at 8:45 P.M. He works so hard.
My mom and I went to Smith’s to get some cheese and lunchmeat. My mom got junk food. I got pop tarts.
So I’m thinking of getting a job – at the CVS next door. I asked if they were hiring. The lady on the phone said to put in applications online with as many locations as possible. That was not helpful. First and foremost, I must pray about it.
I need to get up tomorrow and do my regimen then read.
I can’t wait until it cools down. This heat is a killer. It looks like my bro and his family may not be able to come over for Thanksgiving. I hope things do work out though. We’d all love see baby Eliana.
I wonder when Kingdom Hearts will come out. There’s no way of me buying it. It would take away to much time. DBFZ is a match by match game so I can pretty much stop whenever. RPG’s require lots of play time and you have to wait until you get to save points in most of them.
Well, that’s it for me. Goodnight.

The only constructive thing I’ve done is write and do my quiet time. I didn’t go to the gym. I mopped too. It took a while. I had to get behind the fridge. It just needed to be vacuumed.
My story is really shaping up. Like I said before, I am focusing on character interaction and development. And also POV.
No one has come forward to take up the mantle and lead the group. I hope someone does soon.
The dimmers were put in. They’re nice -very atmospheric. lol. There is still more work to be done with other things but not much.
I did not hit the PS4 today. I wrote just like yesterday. I’ve resolved to read three chapters a day from whatever book I am reading. This will partially depend on when I get up. lol.
My mom is filling up my pill tray. It’s actually my turn to do it. lol.
So Chad does not believe in mental illness. He thinks my meds are a placebo. He thinks that a person who has voices or has delusions should be like that. How cruel to let someone go through that! The delusions I had were horrible! Oh, well. There are other people who believe like him.
Jim was taking a sample question on his IPad for something regarding his work. After process of elimination, we got the sample question. For some reason the site that the question is on does not show up on a computer. /=At first we were dragging the letter with the correct answer to the matching selection. But, in doing so, the letter would overlap to two selection spaces. Then I stumble upon a way to tap the selection space and have all the letters (A-D) displayed vertically. Now he is reading something else about work. I prayed for him. He’ll get it.
Tonight, the group will going to Yogurt Land after service. I’m trying to lose weight so I’ll stay home.
Jordan, one of the guys at church, will be leaving Vegas with his soon-to-be-wife Shannon. I forget where. lol. He did a very animated announcement full of personality. He’s got a great, funny personality! It’s bittersweet to see him go. He will be missed.
Ben, another church dude, came back from being out of country. He is in the Air Force. I’ve only see him once so far at church.
I wish I had real friends at church – friends that want to hang out and text most of all. But none of them are like that. )= It makes me not want to do the fake after service thing. People generally don’t want to talk to me -especially Ricky. It is what it is.
Jim is still doing the work thing on the IPad. I can hear the female voice explain things. lol.
I still need an MRI for my heart. Our regular doc’s walk in time starts at 7 A.M. My mom wants to do that. We should do it soon. I was prayed over by Rob and all those there at Most Excellent Way on Monday night.
Well that is it for tonight. Goodbye.

I just got through three chapters of The Presence. I spent almost two hours reading. I think I have three chapters left.
I didn’t go to the gym. )= Yesterday night was good. We had one new person. That is all I can say since I signed a non-disclosure form. lol. Bob had to pick up a dryer so he came late. We just went over some verses. I didn’t write them down; I had no pen.
I am still looking to submit to publishers. I still have to format my page numbers and my chapter titles.
My mom is making stir-fry for dinner. She made the same thing a few days ago. This time she made more. It smells good. My mom got some ice-cream and Jim ate most of it. I didn’t get any. )=
My writing focus is POV and character development and interaction. It’s coming slow but I do have rhythm going. Maybe in two weeks I’ll let Amanda review it again. My original story bombed. lol. But I know Amanda has my best interest at heart.
Chad called and he was going to his house. He shot me this link about people who think that having plastic straws is worse than illegal immigration. /= Talk about dense!
So this guy named Ricky was very rude to me. It really hurt my feelings. I forgive him. He is just ignorant of his own actions. God will deal with him.
Jim will be coming home soon from work at Albertsons’s. He left about five hours ago.
Lonnie and Kyle, the handymen, were here hooking up the water filtration system. As an additional bell and whistle is that the water tubing lights up. Quite weird –but cool. Oh, we have light dimmers now. It’s a nice affect. lol.
I did not hit the PS4 today. I opted to read and write. I may not play tomorrow either. Gio has kind of lost interest in games. That’s what he told me.
Psalm 71:1 In you O Lord do I put my trust. Let me never be put confusion.
Psalm 86:12 In will praise you O Lord my God with all my heart. And I will glorify your name for evermore.
I’m working on another verse too.
Well, I have to eat. Goodbye.
