I’m also thinking of taking part in Art House Co-op Fiction Project. My friend, Sarah, turned me on to it and it sounds interesting. The Project sends you a Moleskine cahier notebook and you fill it up with writing, send it back, and then it goes on a nation-wide tour. You can even keep track of where it is and how many times it has been ‘taken out’ and read. Looks like things will be changing in the new year for me, writing-wise.

(I should mention that my son is 16 months old and that it was probably my wife that bought it for me. But he may have bought it on his own. He’s cool like that.)

Nothing much has really been going on, not doing anything but working, taking care of the hybrid, and sleeping. I’ve come up with some ideas for a couple of things I’d like to do, and spoke to a friend who is willing to collaborate with me on a project. I think it’s going to be fun and may earn us a couple of bucks while we’re at it.

I need to get in touch with my other friend to see if she still wants to work on the project I first pitched to her 11 months ago. Not that I haven’t been in touch with her over facebook or twitter, I just keep forgetting to ask her about it.

And as for facebook, I’ve deactivated my account. Nothing on it has proved useful to me for the past few months so I figured it was time to give it a rest. Feels good to.

What I’m hoping is that the time I spent on facebook I can now turn to working on projects that really interest me.

Or at least not bore me.

Be back soon.

The new job was supposed to allow me to have more time to spend with the hybrid and more time to write, but that isn’t happening. I pick him up from the grandparent’s home after work, but then have to help the wife make dinner during which the hybrid is usually sleeping. Then we watch a little television and go to bed. Or I fall asleep during while watching the damn tv.

Also, I’ve dropped just about every writing project I’ve had, including the 100 words. One of the coordinators sent an e-mail to the group stating that she was looking for things from the group that I didn’t really want to do. So I guess you can say that I left it due to ‘creative differences’. Never thought I would say that about anything.

The only other projects that I have are the Uké manga, which looks like it is on hold, and a website design that is two months late. Go figure. Oh, and then there’s is the secret project that I didn’t tell anyone about that is also looking like it is on hold.

Next year I plan on doing some things for me. Like more writing. I’ve got some ideas that just may work.

Happy new year.

Since the hybrid was born, nothing has been the same, not a damn thing. Mostly not living in our own apartment. Having to stay with the in-laws is quite uncomfortable, not to mention it puts a damper on my own computer time.

And then there’s work. Not having a regular nine-to-five job is a real pain in the ass. Though, this should change in the upcoming couple of weeks thanks to a new job. This should give me to write more, let alone spend more time with the hybrid. But by writing more, I can actually get my projects done.

Besides writing, I also have a couple of website design/building gigs; one paid, one for a friend (so not paid). Still, it’s good to mix it up a bit, keeps the mind fresh.

I haven’t heard from the director, producer, or writer of the play I was working on so I guess I’m through with that officially. Which is a good thing because that annoyed the hell out of me.

So besides living by means of my crackberry, I haven’t had much time for anything. Coming back home in the next week and a half will help, plus that new job I mentioned, and I guess it’ll back to almost normal for me.

Oh, new 100 words up.

Still not home yet, still not with regular interweb access yet, still not anywhere near normal. But I’m guessing that’s okay for now.

Well, let’s see….

1. still at the in-law’s with limited interweb access
2. working at the mall six days a week, with varying hours
3. the hybrid is keeping us up during the night, and quite busy during the day

This is all well and good but I also have actual work to do. I need to continue working on that project I mentioned weeks ago that I am working on with a friend. I’m going to be two weeks behind this Friday. I have to figure out what I’m going to do since I don’t have my own iMac with me more, or even a MacBook of my own to use. Using the in-law’s computer doesn’t really help because I don’t have my files and I don’t want to tie up their machine(s).

And to add insult to injury, I forgot to write my 100 words last Friday.

I can’t wait to be back in my own apartment where I can do whatever I please.
