This is a test. |
| balh blah ablan |
| Under the discretion of my mom, I will not be publishing with Westbow Press. The deal sounded great but my mom said there would inevitably be more specials to come. I was excited but oh well. I asked the publishing consultant about editing. He said only people who have purchased packages can take advantage of any type of editing. That’s bad business if you ask me. I hit the PS4 for too long again. Uhg. At least I did two anniversary reviews. Chad called me on his last break. He got off at three and said he would call me back when he got off but he hasn’t. I’ll probably hear from him later on. lol. Yesterday was a buzzkill. Both Dan and Ricky were unavailable to take me to the Bible study. Dan had a race to prepare for and Ricky was out of town. Hopefully he’ll be able to give me a ride to the early service tomorrow. lol. Chad said there were no games that came with the arcade stick he got. He must download them first. It was advertised to have 1,300 games pre-installed. Sucks for him. My mom and I were watching Tron: Uprising last night. It was a series on Disney that had only one season of eighteen episodes. We already watched them but we’re re-watching them. This morning she was enjoying the very first Tron from the 80’s. Chad sent me a pick of his Native American check. It’s a considerably large sum. I won’t say how much though. That lucky dog. I am still looking for an online job. It’s hard. But seek and ye shall find. Chad is texting me. He is mad over there being no games in the arcade stick. He wants a refund from his bank. He says he has the ad that says there are 1,300 games. He thinks that will work. Well that is it for me Goodbye. |
| This will be short as I have thirty minutes to write. So I am thinking my story is not worth publishing yet. I especially feel the ending chapters are rushed. I’m thinking of asking Westbow press for a content editor. I think I will forego the publishing package. I feel most of it is okay though. I’ll have to tell Eric, the publishing consultant, I have declined his suggestion to publish. My mom looked on Google and the average amount for content editing is $7.50 per page. My story is about 56K words. My story, the Search for the Wizard King, was in the Fantasy NL. Two people reviewed it. One said I need to develop characters and give them background. The other reviewer more or less said the same thing. He also said it was rushed which is the same thing I noticed myself doing. lol. I did not hit the PS4 as I said I would not. I read the second to the last chapter of the book I’m reading writing. It took over an hour. The book by Frank E. Peretti, the Oath, will take some time to read. It is pretty thick. I walked for over an hour today. It went by fast strangely. I did not bring my phone with me. But I recalled I left the house at about 11:10 A.M. and got back at about 12:30. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control. Against such there is no law.” I think I may have it down. lol. Well, goodnight. |
| I’m a little excited. I just spoke with a publishing consultant on the phone who works with West Bow, a division of Thomas Nelson-Zondervan. I recall it is a self-publishing company. The consultants name is Eric Schroeder. Among other things I will get into later, he basically gave me the rundown on the different packages. He really emphasized and explained all the perks of what is called the Online Platform. It’s more or less the whole shebang. It includes marketing, distribution, a website, and more specific things. The whole thing will cost $3,299.25. Now this price is a sale price. Originally it is $4,399. The sale runs through November. It all sounds great. But I am erring in the side of caution. Eric said he would talk to me again on the phone on Saturday and 1 PM. I have more questions to ask – specifically other unmentioned fees if there are any. I feel like God is telling me to wait. Hopefully for not too long. Chad called me when I was on with the consultant. I called back. He was cleaning his mom’s house to prepare for Thanksgiving. My mom heated up a bird she got at Albertson’s. She was supposed to make a chicken pot pie. Oh, well. I had my roast beef to eat. I saw Chrystal and Jeff at the gym today. I waved to her and smiled. She seemed to respond to me but Jeff wasn’t too happy it appeared. I have to work on my back tomorrow at the gym. I left for the gym at about 8:30 A.M. today. Tomorrow I want to leave at like 6:30 A.M. or a little later. I have to get back to writing every day again. I missed the last two days I think. I will not play any games tomorrow. I will have a nice quiet time then I will read then write. It was warn when I was walking to the gym. I had to take of my sweater. lol. Jim gets off work at 7:30 P.M. after this I will watch stuff with my mom. I love when God’s Spirit speaks through the Word. That’s when I feel Him. My bro and his family of two will be here on the 27th I think. I dread the noise from the kids. It will be crowded. Uhg. Well goodbye for now. |
| I only have an hour. My ride for church may be calling me soon. I spent an hour editing my story for the Thrice Prompted thing. I changed to a little. There was one place where I had “hose” where I should have put “horse.” lol. I realize it would be advantageous if I wrote outside my genre – fantasy. I need to do modern, real life fiction or speculative fiction. The last four books I’ve been reading were modern day Christian supernatural. I have a semi-idea for a modern day book about dreams and other realms. It will go much deeper than that of course. I want it to be a surprise. lol. My mom is at the store no picking up some things. I just looked at my phone and Dan, my ride, said he would pick me up. I have to verify the time so I texted him again. I’ve missed the last two Wednesday nights I think. I don’t now if I’ll stay afterwards though. So I am still looking for an online job. As usual I want submit fiction stories. I need to keep seeking. lol. That would be some of the dream. Like always I want there to be evident Christian undertones that gives allusions to the Bible, such as heaven, Jesus Christ the son of God and God Himself as well as angels, elements from the book of Revelation and other spiritual content. Our manual garage door opener panel was not working. Apparently, it had a battery that was close to dead. So we replaced it but not after getting stuck outside with no key inside and no way to open the garage door. We called my mom and she didn’t pick up. I got lucky and the panel worked for me. I thought we were stuck outside. Phew. Let’s see, what else? Fox is siding with CNN to sue the White House for firing Jim Acosta. In laymen’s terms he was being pushy with interviewing the president that is alleged to be doctored. In this accusation, he was asked to desist his inquires of the president when he shoved his mike into an intern’s face. Well, I have to go now. Goodbye. |
| I’ve been out of the house for some time with my mom. We left the house at about 1 P.M. to go to her doc’s appointment. That took a little bit. My mom and I were really hungry and we saw this place called Rubio Mexican Grill. I got a steak burrito for about $9.50. My mom got a vegie burrito. Both of us were really impressed with the food. After that went to Sprouts for some lunch meat and cheese. My mom ordered a big turkey for our Thanksgiving/ Christmas gathering. After that, we went back to the Mexican grill for two more vegie burritos – one for Jim and a whole one to split with my mom. She wants me to see how it tastes. On our way out my, mom thought he she lost her keys. We both panicked then she realized she put them in her pocket than her purse. lol. That spooked me. Jim had a full day off today. Good for him. He deserves it. He’s still out and about now. One of the things he did was get our dog groomed and washed. Jim also got a haircut. I wonder where he is now. On the way home, my mom talked about using marijuana to help with her pain. I’ll be honest and say it makes me a little uncomfortable. lol. I just don’t want it to dull her mind. I was surprised that three or four doc’s highly suggested she take it. Our neighbor took lots of morphine and she had to get off it quick and she tried it and it did miracles. Huh. Jim just got back with Nimue. It was too dark to see her but I’m sure she looks cute. My mom wanted her to retain her fluffiness. Chad just sent me vid form his phone. It’s called Queen, Freddie and the Devil – no idea what that could be about. Chad will probably call me soon. Well, I just watched that vid from Chad. It was about a singer from the rock group Queen. Apparently he claimed to have traded his soul dot the Devil for fame and money. He also was a pedophile. The whole rock/metal idea of being affiliated with Satan is nothing new of course i.e. Kiss, Ozy Osborne and many other such groups. I’m still looking online for a place to submit stories for pay. A good overall plan is to read the WdC newsletters. I have not read them in a while. I’ve found they have very good info. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Goodness goes after Kindness. lol. I almost got the whole verse from memory. God is so good. His love is unconditional. I really want to witness to my, loose fined Joel down the street. I’ve thought of asking him to go to eat at BJ’s. I hope that happens. Well, that’s it for now. Goodbye. |
| Today hasn’t been bad. I hit the PS4 for thirty minutes. It was enough. I edited my shot story The Wizard King. It took about an hour. It looks a lot better. I didn’t realize it had so many problems. I still need to go over it until I find nothing amiss. I need to do some reviews. It’s already the twelfth of November. lol. I watched the third Maze Runner with my mom last night. I also texted Ricky briefly. I told him about my online job I am going after which is being an online Juror. It’s one of seven listed jobs on that site I looked at. There may be more elsewhere. The jobs pay next to nothing but the experience and the resume material will be helpful in me eventually getting paid to write. I wish time would pass already so I can know if I am published or not. Lord willing, I will. But the fruit of the Spirit is love joy, peace, patience, goodness…” I missed that kindness go after patience. lol. Lets’ see, what else? Tonight is Most Excellent Way. I’m grateful for it. It’s helped me. One of the girls got a $14 an hour pay rate job at some store. I forget which one. Good for her. Chad may call soon. The guy has so many health issues, a lot of them self-inflicted. I pray for his salvation every night. It will happen someday. It’s cool outside. Very nice indeed. Jim is at work now. He’ll be home in less than two hours I think. My cousin gets out of jail in a week or so. I hope and pray he goes where he needs to be. He needs Jesus. I’m pretty sure I heard my mom say my bro and his family of three will be here on the 27th. That will be cool. I don’t know where they’ll be staying. Maybe they will go to a bed and breakfast place like last time they visited. Well, that’s it for now. Goodbye. |
| Not much has happened today. The highlight of the day was church. Pastor Morales taught out of the very short book of Philemon. It was more or less about Paul’s advocating Onesimes as a viable worker in Christ. This man was once a slave and a thief. Pastor Jimmy said in the Roman emperor there were about sixty-million salves. Their overseers were leery of the possible threat of their superior numbers and how they could rebel and overcome Rome. The punishment for a runaway slave was death. In Paul’s letter he tells Philemon to accept Onesimus as Paul himself. Jared wasn’t very talkative to me today. I wonder why. so I’m really jazzed. I am looking for dirt cheap online jobs. My first selection was an online juror. It requires a degree of reading and critical thinking though. Each gig (as the site I found it on worded it) pays like $10 a week. But my goal is to build a resume and go from the ground up. My prime goal, after getting published, is to submit short stories for an online job, regardless of pay. I’m still waiting for Electio Publishing to shoot me which means I am published. The process can take up to 90 days but they will of course try to get to an author sooner. I submitted my story ten days ago so there will be some waiting. lol. I hot the PS4 for too long – an hour-and-a-ten minutes. I will not play tomorrow. Got to focus. I have to hit the gym in the morning. After my quiet time I will read. I submitted my Thrice Prompted story to the Please Review page. It is about 3.5K words long though. Well, that’s it for now. I want to do some proofreading for a while. Tootles. |
| The left are vying for the removal of our freedoms! Biased, fake news companies i.e. CNN, NBC, MSNBC, are manipulating the people with false, distorted content. I just watched an interview with Mark Dice hosted by Next News Network. So many conservatives are being trolled or shadow banned like the “hate speaking” anchorman Alex Jones. As of right now I don’t know how or if he is still broadcasting. Concerning the 2020 election, a prominent democratic expecting runner is Bloomberg. It appears the left is using the businessman card after Trump’s success. Chris Mathews, who once hosted the political show Hardball, is another person from the left is a possible runner in the next presidential election. Our basic rights are being debunked on a national level. The liberals are trying to change the very Constitution! I urge anyone who reads this to get out of the pleasures of society and look at what our country is becoming. I only pray that God will somehow reconcile the US to honor and righteousness. I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God to present you bodies a living sacrifice which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind; that you may prove what that good and acceptable and perfect will of God is. Rom. 12:1-2. Got it on the first try. Yes. Well I have call Chad or he’ll call me. lol. Goodbye. |
| I did not go to the gym today. I am making writing and reading everyday a habit for the past 6 days. Soon it will be second nature. I had a nice quiet time. I beseech you therefor brethren, by the mercies of God to present yourselves a living sacrifice which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to the world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. I think I got all of that passage down. Jim worked later than he usually does. He left around 1:30 P.M. Today is voting day. I hope we get as many Republicans in office possible. Last night at the meeting, I was appalled to learn that we almost lost our religious rights two years go. I did not hear of that. Bob told us. We had a full house last night at Most Excellent Way. It was a continuation pf the indwelling of the Holy Ghost and how to walk in Him. It was nice. We had two new people – a guy and a girl. The girl’s name was Ashley. I forget the dude’s name. When I was in class, Michael texted me about voting. I said I voted early like I did. But he forgot to send the link. It was something he made himself. He’s very good at making them. I’ve decided not to hit the PS4 again today. My homie George from CVS said he’s more or less stopped playing games. I could leaner from him. lol. DBFZ is the last I’ll ever buy. Soon my big interest in games will be gone. )= Chad has not called yet. He may. I think switched days with someone. So my enthusiasm in a job is going by the wayside. I may not be able to take the pressure and stress. Both Cane’s and Teriyakis Madness are fast food and they will be in such an environment. I want to work at Yogurt Land. My mom was is pain yesterday-poor soul. I thought the spinal shots were supposed to take care of that. Well, Kingdom Hearts 3 is coming out the 29th of January, 2019. I won’t be getting it though as I’ve more or less stated. Games like that require long intervals of play. My spiritual life comes first. Other than that I read and write too. lol. Chad sent me a trailer of an upcoming game with the Joker and Harley Quin. The graphic were atrocious!-I’m talking PS1 and PS2 picture quality. I hope it bombs. lol. Chad will love it regardless. Eleven days and counting-that’s when my bro and his family of two will be coming. Well, that’s it for now, Goodbye. |
| I only can write for twenty minutes. I’ve been on the phone with Chad for an hour. I I made it to the gym. I also read for a little bit over an hour. Then, I proofread most of my story for some time. I caught some things here and there. I’m sure there is more to correct. lol. I am at the ending climax of my story I’ve been writing. I need some kind of grand climax. It has to end with a conflict. I have to brainstorm. My mom was at our neighbor’s house again visiting. She was there for a few hours only this time. It’s nice outside. We opened some windows. Jim worked his eight hour shift at Albertson’s today. He seems well. He bought a wooden nightstand from our other neighbor’s house. It was relatively light to bring in. I did not hit the PS4. That is when I read. I have like three chapters to finish. Wherein you greatly rejoice though now for a season, if need be you are in heaviness through manifold temptations. That the trial of your faith being more precious than gold which parishes though it be tried by fire…” I beseech you by the mercies of God that you offer your bodies a living sacrifice which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Well, that’s it for me. Goodbye. |
