I'm publishing a novel and burning cookies
I made gingerbread cookies today, and I burnt them. I'm kinda disappointed cause last time they tasted so good. But last time I also forgot to put the egg in and this time I remembered. Apparently that affects the cooking times. I didn't know that. But now I do.
I feel like all I've been doing lately is writing. It's like I'm back in college again.
I woke up today and spent 3 HOURS reformatting my novel "People of the First Light", which I'm PUBLISHING. For those of you who haven't heard... it will be available in about a week. (keep your fingers crossed though cause that's what I thought a week ago.) But until then, you can get excited that you know a published author and check it out here. Well, I had some copyright problems. Did you know you can't use Microsoft Word's clip art in commercial projects? Well, I didn't, so they told me I had to take out all the clip art I had at the beginning of the chapters. And while I was doing that, I changed all the font sizes and redid the table of contents. Then of course there were the inevitable problems with the pages and formatting and shit. And of course I had to redo my cover and marketing stuff as well. That was so bad since I've already done it twice now... just a matter of doing the same thing AGAIN. But still...
Then after that, I was back on the computer for another 3 HOURS of researching and finding references for "Why You Are Fat", which is the ebook Greg and are almost finished with.
Then, I spent another hour editing my mother's thesis, which is due on Sunday.
So all in all, I spent 7 hours writing today- or doing shit that's related to writing. Hell... at least I'm getting good use out of my degree.
Anyway... Greg's brother Ross is here now and his girlfriend, Lisa. Greg and Ross have been playing video games for about 4 hours now. They're crazy. We had a Christmas dinner with them, Gary (Greg's dad) and Susan (Gary's Filipino girlfriend who now lives with us). That's why I made the cookies. Next time I'll make them better. No EGGS. I really didn't know eggs made such a difference in cooking. I honestly don't know what they do. But I guess they must do something.
Well... here are some pictures of me. We went to a Christmas party last weekend and this is me fucking around before hand in a Santa hat. You can add them to your collection of hot and sexy chicks.
Okay then... that's all from me. Catch you on the flip side.
