I was planning to do some more writing for my re-write of “The Godchild” but I ended up being kind of lazy, talking to my boyfriend and some friends on Facebook. I was gonna make more stickers too, and I may later. I did manage to cook dinner and took out the trash without getting mauled by a coyote or bobcat even though they’re all over town and there’s definitely something living out by my dumpster. I feel like I’m in “12 Monkey’s”, in more ways than just that, but that too. If you don’t know “12 Monkey’s” I’m referring to the Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt Sci-Fi/Mind-Fuck film from the 90’s. I highly recommend it and Sci-Fi isn’t my favorite genre…Mind-Fuck, on the other hand, kind of is.
I wasn’t eaten by any animals though and I definitely got a few things done, but I’m thinking of spending the night watching “Stand By Me”. A number of my friends have mentioned it lately and it got me thinking about how when I was a kid, I related to the main character and how he was a writer. I saw his adult character and thought “That’s gonna be me some day, writing about my adventures as a kid!” and then recently while writing “I Write the System”, my autobiography that focuses on my childhood and teen years, there were moments I thought to myself “I’m just like the guy in ‘Stand By Me’ now!” and so I think I wanna give it a watch. It’s been many, many years since I’ve seen it and it’s a brilliant film. Not only that, I’m reading “On Writing” by Stephen King right now.
These are the stickers I made the other night and hope to make more of…
and here are the ones I sold recently. My friend Shawn got the package and took the photo…
I got an email today saying the pack of 250 stickers I bought with my logo have been shipped. I hope I like them.
My friend Janina took this picture of her cat sitting on my books…
I’m ahead of schedule with my re-write of “The Godchild” and putting my press kits together for “I Write the System”, so I’ve even started putting some thought into how I’m gonna go about the fiction book I’m planning to write. I’m excited to attempt something kind of new.
I made this for dinner tonight…
I got some Bubba Kush the other day which is an old favorite Indica strain I used to get on the street from time to time. If they said it was Bubba Kush or OG Kush or Sour Diesel, or Pineapple or whatever; basically if it had a name, that was usually good news that it wasn’t mids. It’s 100% Indica though, so that’s fairly intense to begin with, and then I recently found this hookah-like pipe for super cheap and I love smoking from this kind of thing but if I put too much in the bowl, which is fucking huge, it gets me more high than I’m generally used to these days. But I wasn’t nearly as high as my neighbors who were out in the parking lot taking bong rips and coughing their lungs out, although I could tell by the way he was talking that he also either just shot up or drank an obscene amount of alcohol, because weed doesn’t fuck you up like that.
I’ve had a busy week with lots of appointments and working hours a day on the book, plus I went through my friend list which only had 350 friends when I released “The Godchild” and I now have 1100 friends as of the past year. I tried to pick out the people I feel like I’ve got to know best, especially if they’re trans or non-binary or artists or whatever, and I wrote down all the names of people I felt like I’d feel comfortable messaging to ask for their mailing address. I found about 65 people. I had about 100 addresses from before, but I’m not gonna send to half of them who showed no interest the first time, yet the other half would likely buy another book… a least maybe half of them anyway, plus I will hopefully have about 65 new people to send to who haven’t read my other stuff but might read the new book if I ask them to. It seems like I have a decent chance of doing as well, if not hopefully better than the first time around. I have a few tricks up my sleeve this time and new things I’ve learned. I’m gonna give it my best shot.
