A long editing session and writing session is like a pain when your wrist decides it will hurt for more than a few hours. Being left handed has its worst perks ever...not to mention that moment when you look at your hand and see the black stain of black ink on it and as you go wash it off, you are then back at the service desk. Talk about the mood breaker, I was glad to get my two days off, but ended up not doing anything but watch TV and do laundry.
Much is the life of a person who is often time having a million things running through my head and end up watching old WWII Documentaries and wonder how the hell I get attracted to these things? LOL...yup that's what I do when I'm left on my own and my fiance/editor is out doing his side job. So you can guess that my life is about as interesting as can be.
For the most part I am waiting for "The Magicians" to return to TV and I could enjoy it again, it is one of the few things I love to watch on Sci-Fi channel now called SyFy. At first I was thinking oh great a Harry Potter knock-off, but as I watched, I realized it had much more to it, then I read the book, and have read it and re-read it from time to time to get inspiration for my own writing.
I suppose the fact I admire Lev Glossman and his world and the great many characters and my personal favorite is Eliot.
So there you have it, my day in a nut shell.
The story I am currently working on

Watching and writing
I was writing up some ideas recently when I was brought to my attention that being sick is not an excuse to not do anything. So I was not sure how to say this, but sleeping through some of the illness did help, but this cough is going to be around for awhile.
I am getting ready very early for a trip to Orlando, FL, but it is not for writing reasons, but I am hoping to do some creative writing work while I'm there. I'm not sure what I can bring with me, but I'm editing everything and getting ready to hand off the manuscripts to an editor near May or even June, if that is possible.
I'm going to be working on some artwork too for the story, I'm not sure how people are going to respond to my artwork, but that's just me...I have not been drawing for awhile because I have not felt the desire to draw, but now as I work on the story, I'm getting more and more enthralled to write and draw characters.

Troubling my past
Writing for me is a break from my life, and honestly, I don't love my past as much and getting messages from people while working is not fun. Truthfully, unless its my editor who let's face it, loves to get on me for this or that, I'm not going to get into details over that, considering he's also my fiance.
I'm to the point that I have not been honestly thinking about writing for a few days considering that I'm still plotting a trip to Orlando with my nephew and working on fun stuff. I'm no entirely sure what the hell is going on at the moment.
The message from a person from my past is a little annoying, but I'm like, okay, M.M. you can handle this kind of stuff, don't think it bad. Truthfully, it was more guilt trip than anything else, I just remained quietly hopeful this person finds their path. I know he's a person who might say this is slander, but I hope he finds his way and not think so ill of people who have hurt him. I moved beyond that and I'm thankful for it.
Yes, I have people in my past I dislike, but I don't go very far with it, I just sit there and shake my head as they make asses of themselves, while I just watch. It is not my place to say anything against them or do anything, I can say my peace of my disappointments in life, but I'm not going to talk anymore of these people who have hurt me...I write what I feel in my heart in a book, not the doubts of those who doubted me.
When I started this project I was angry at being hurt, at having people force their lives into mine, to block me out or walk all over me. I stopped wanting to make those connections again and made new ones that have been stronger and much more fulfilling, friendship is about meeting people who make the movement to understand, not change the person to suit their needs. Running away may not be an answer for the said person who contacted me, sometimes facing facts, knowing that being a jerk did something to them that made people hate them. That's what matters...
When I was thinking of the fact the library was built on my desire to shut out the world and then build a world of great magic around me, yes, it was selfish, but then I started to make a story. I started designing characters within that world and making sense of it. This is my therapy for losing friends over the years, this is my hope that people who went through the same pain find it too.

Writing and.....I don't know what I just saw on my newsfeed?
I was sitting at my house doing some minor work on the book and I was also glancing at the newfeed of my FB, just out of I don't know...just curious I guess. I saw a press conference that turned into an utter joke, I didn't turn on the sound because I was kind of busy and I didn't want to hear that trash...
I try to keep this page as nonpolitical as possible, I'm a writer not a politician and that's just not place, I just saw CNN and it was just wow...what future do any writers hold fiction or nonfiction? I'm not entirely sure, if this continues on, I'm scared of it.
I will continue with my work and hope to gods that once its met a publisher, I won't have to deal with the horrible thoughts of individuals who doubted this...what do I do?

Happy New Year
Yeah, its 2017, and 2016 left a sour taste in one's own mouth, so I'm proud to kick that year behind and move onto something new and better. As for the book work, yeah, I'm editing and redoing a part and then sitting down with the second book's rough draft and seeing where I'm taking it. I have a clear idea of the purpose and who it focuses on considering what I'm doing.
As for this years convention schedule, its been kind of pushed to the back burner as it were, Mile Hi Con and Myth and Legends Con are still a must, I'm attending to visit other great authors again. Hope they're having a great New Year already.
So that's the report
