Well, I finished my first french calendar story. And for a writer who's mother tongue is English, maybe I don't have any business writing one, but I did And I did a fine job if I do say so myself. And I did. It's a good story. oh sure, it will need editing, like maybe word b instead of word b, but it was a damn good effort and will be an enjoyable read.

Just when it will be ready though, that is another question. It needs to be edited and I need some artist's darwaings and a calendar publisher...though it would be cool if I could do that...it would unfold better if someone else did that. And all of that takes time. Can I make it happen in time for 2009? Yeah, maybe. The question is, will I? Not so sure of that.

Now that that part is done, I suppose I have an opening for a writing spot. I've got room on my daily writing plate for a few stories. I have my daily book paragraphs, currently focusing on the story only and I just recently returned to working on my graphic novel. The blogs...I don't call them dailies, because too many days are not used. And the screenplay is only worked on weekly. As is the new OctoberTuesday VideoRadio show on youtube. So, a slot has opened up I think. The question is, how will I fill it, because I should. Hmm.

Well, that isn't much, but it is enough for me, so la revedere. Next when.

That Wouldn't Be Good

That wouldn't be good, if I continued leaving myself little time in which to post my blogs, not that they are gaining me anything...as near as I can tell, but I'm in a posting mood of late so...yeah.

This comes up because I went three days without posting at any of my five blogs...though, I continued writing, so on that front at least, it isn't anything to be concerned about. Otherwise, this posting would be angry. I'd be p*ssed about missing even a single writing day...which hasn't happened since May 18, 2006. That's a nice little streak of days.

But that isn't the issue and three days without posting, well, that really isn't all that big a deal. it would be different if posting was helping me, but that seems not to be the case at all. Sigh.

So I'm back to it...but is this even worth reading? Where's the good writing you'd be asking if you were here to ask...that I could see.

See, this doesn't feel like good writing. it's just writing, ho hum. Give us something better...chum.

Well, on that front, it's out there. I have my book of poetry after all, Jason's Book Of Poetry, selling for a mere 7.00$. You can get in touch with me on how to buy it. And I am launching a poetry monthly in April. I know what you're saying...poetry? Well, I write poetry for those who don't read it. So invest wisely in your joy of reading and buy my book and forthcoming monthly. it will benefit us both. :-).

And I am working other good things too. I am a writer to watch for. Believe it, you read it here first. lol.

Oh yeah, I'm also beginning to upload youtube videos. Look for WhatOfMeh Radio Videos coming soon. It too will be a good investment in your joy of listening. And yes, I am aware that youtube is an audio/visual medium. Call this a throwback to the days of yore. :-).

Next when.

I Shan't Be Long

I Shan't Be Long

 

I shan't be long

Not here tonight

As I am about

The doings of my Wednesday

And it is past the supping time

So I best to go

Like quickly so

 

Life is eventful these days. Things are happening and some of them are like good...gooder than I would have thought a year ago. My little idea of a company is getting incrementally bigger. And I am going do some good things with it. And dare I to dream, even a couple of great things. Just wait and see. The time of me is slowly unfolding.

Some of them are not so good. I have a perilous financial situation, but fingers ar crossed that it will "stabilize" then slowly get better this year. Sadly, this requires governmental intervention that never have I had before. I will find out about that by next week. And yeah, it will come my way. But I will not let it be too too long a way. See above as to why.

Well, I think I'll get back to the poemage before I sign out.

 

I shan't be long

Not here tonight

And already have I

Been here long enough

So be you well

I'm off to other things

Shall I Try Again?

Shall I try again

To write some words

Fit for reading

As I would so believe

No matter what

Some others would say

 

Yes I think I will

And already am

As what before

I tried to post

Was sadly lost

Though it flowed not as like

A loss of words

Remains a loss

Nonetheless

 

So forgive me for the speed

In which I visit now

For I would so scream

If I lost again

Another goodly work

 

Shall I try again

To write some words

Fit for reading

Yes indeed

Whatever the merits be

It is better to write some meh

Than dream of greaters undone

Here I am. Don't mind me. I'm just tidying the place. It's a little dusty. I'm not the writer, he's away, working on something brilliant. If you have a message for him, you can leave it here with me. I'll be sure to pass it on to him. He's very appreciative of your comments. And if not, he understands that too.

:-b

It's me of course, but you know that. I don't have any writers to manage here. Yet...if ever. But that's okay, this is my least popular blog so whatever happens here..is whatever.

:-|

One reason I didn't bother posting any of the four from my book poems online. But, just for fun, I'll post the addys here now. Why not eh?

Do your joy of reading a favour and check them out, you won't be disappointed. I write poetry for people who don't read poetry.

:-D

And I know you're disappointed that I don't have a poem to send you off with, hey, you could be, but I have other places to be. Next when.

Menamos

I'm back online. For the second week in a row, I had a minimum of seventy hours where I wasn't able to get online. This week it was a few minutes shy of ninety-three hours. Do the math and that is some effin' shade of bad. C'mon, reliable internet is what you are supposed to provide. Yes, shyte happens, but that is decidedly bad shyte.

Anyway, I'm back and I am able to post blogs again, something I've been doing daily, when able since January 29. And I am blogging well too, I might add. In fact, I did...whether you like it or not. :-).

No, I haven't heard from anyone at any of the stations regarding the copies of my book that I dropped off. Am I surprised? To be honest, I haven't much thought of it since. But no, I am not surprised. That would be too easy for me...unfortunately. Sigh. :-(.

But, I don't really feel like wallowing in my glooms right now, too damn easy to get swallowed up in them. And since I've done some good writing already today here...I think I'll go now and take some forward steps with my idea of a cool company.

As long as my service provider doesn't keep phugging me around with their idiot problems, I'll be back here Thursday. As ever, take care in the meantime.

Waiting For What

I took a walk with my books today and dropped off two of them...and time will tell if this complimentary giveaway will do me any good.

What do I expect? For this, I don't like the word expect. I have my little hope of what will help, but...who's to say it will happen from either giveaway. This is my life after all and such a good almost seems unlikely, as I retreat to the darker parts of my head whilst I wait.

I could mention the stations, but I'll only do that if, in the unlikely event, as I am thinking darkly, that I get invited on the radio.

Sigh.

I don't regret dropping off the copies, it's a good idea...it just seems unlikely in this moment, that it will result positively for me.

At one station I left it for a specific host, hoping for, but not expecting to get on the radio. The other station...well, stations, because their all in the same building I just left it for all of them. There too, I do not expect, I just hope..distantly.

Sigh again.

Will I even get feedback from these giveaways? I don't know. Even that would be nice. I'll let you know.
