Ok, just a few quick updates:
Financial strategy is in full force. I do roughly 10-15 hours of research per week (at work of course) and i think i have a strategy which could make me about 3% return per week, minimum. That would equate to a 156% simple return on my money, but more importantly, it would actually be compounded interest. Which means if i can manage to save and invest a decent amount of money, i could pay my car off in December :) So, we shall see how it goes. In practice i have had 3 weeks of hypothetical investing in which i hit 3%, 5% and 10% in that order. So, i have gotten a bit better at it, but i do understand i am subject to the mercy of the market. The crazy thing is, if i made 10% per week....i could have my money 10 fold by december :) (or more). but enough of my wishful thinking, as long as i make 3% i am happy :)
Enough boring stuff :)
I have began a bigger dedication to my writing starting February 1st! :) Me and Denise have drawn a huge map of my fictional world on my wall :) So, it will act as inspiration :) I will be writing a chapter and then do 3 edits of the chapter with the help of 5 editors...hopefully. If i call to recruit you, just know that, more than anything, i probably want to know if you like the plot, characters and general storyline :) It is an epic, so feel free to say no if it is not your cup of tea :) I am going to start keeping my ideas quiet as i want my reader to feel the story develop and tell me what they think of whats happening instead of what they want to happen next :) So, any volunteers, just say so, otherwise, i may recruit you :)
Otherwise, life is good. I have been doing a lot of cooking, relaxing and the occasional video game...so i am pretty comfortable with my life right now :) And my 18hours of overtime check is in 3 days :) So, yeah, im great! :) Hope all you crazy kids are spectacular! :)
