What've I Been Up To...
Monday, October 3, 2011 at 8:04AM
I find I'm awful at blogging and Twitter when there's a lot going on outside of the computer. I suppose that's a good thing -- I'm not totally reliant on my computer. I did have the opportunity to test that out and was without my computer for about a week in there. A few Sundays ago, I was using my laptop (MacBook Pro) and after looking up whatever I was checking, I closed it and set it on the coffee table. An hour later, my girlfriend went to use it and it wouldn't boot up. Turns out the logic board (still not entirely sure what that is) went on it and I had to take it to an Apple Store in Pittsburgh to get it repaired. Cost me a few hundred bucks and it took about a week for me to get it back.
I've also been working on editing my first novel, Work in Progress. I've gone through several edits already, but still manage to find a lot more to things to tweek. I'm hoping it'll be released on the Kindle Market soon for anyone reading this or my Twitter feed. I've also been trying to put together more short stories and start work on my second novel.
None of that being easy when I've been working overtime at my job. I won't say what it is, but it's in Sales in retail, so the hours are long and I need to make sure I hit my numbers.
And then there's the fact that it's fall and there's great new television starting. Not to mention, that I've recently discovered I've been getting HBO and Starz for free, so TiVo is not only full of shows, but movies I want to have the time to finish at some point. And then there's the old television I want to catch up on, like my continuing commentary track of Battlestar Galactica, or my hope that one day I'll actually be able to find out why so many love Doctor Who.
But all that will come in time. I find that I have too many interests and too many things I want to experience. I'm torn between going outside and exploring the world, staying in with a good book, staying in work, or spending the evening with my girlfriend catching up on our TV.
There'll be more blogs to come, hopefully soon. There will be updates on my novel in the next month. There will be commentary on movies and TV soon too. Maybe I'll even keep up with Twitter again. Maybe.
