changing the subject

Aug 26

I’m writing this while my son is sleeping not more than three feet away from me. The wife is sleeping in another room so if the son starts crying he won’t disturb her. So far, so good though. Changed his diaper and he fell right back to sleep. My shift ends at three this morning, a mere hour and ten minutes from now.

Why am I telling you all this? Don’t really know other than to say that the new 100 words is up and you should go head over to read it.

wait for it….

My latest 100 word will probably be up tomorrow. I didn’t have a chance to do it on this weekend because of the new kid and our living arrangements at the moment. I am hoping to get things better organized soon so that things like this don’t happen.

Also, I was apparently skipped over for two e-mails from my writing partners for some reason.

Whatever….

the good, the bad, the dirty….

First off, here’s the new 100 words.

Next up, I’ve been busy the last week with the birth of my son. It’s a frigging amazing thing, becoming a parent. All I want to do is sit and hold him all the time though I know that’s impossible. Still, it’s all I want to do. But I can’t not do anything else….

I started a new job last, last Monday. It’s retail, it sucks, it’ll last until the economy improves and I can find a real job. This is going to take up a shitload of time because the person in charge of scheduling, whom from this moment on I will call “the Manager”, has me working seven or eight straight days, starting later today. The Manager needs to learn how to make schedules because working hours like that will burn anyone who works in retail out. And it’s not a good way to save money for the owners.

Because of this, I’m going to have to drop one of my projects and it’s going to be the play adaptation. It’s not one of my own projects, I’m not getting paid for it, and all along this thing I’ve gotten nothing but headaches. I’m still going to be writing the 100 words because it’s fun and I’m going to continue to work on that new project with my friend I discussed earlier. I’ve already sent her some stuff and will write some more and send it to her hopefully by Friday.

That’s all for now. Time for bed….

two down, five to go….

Sorry there was no 100 words last week. I wasn’t sent anything to work off of and I just found out that two members of our group dropped out so there might not be one this week either.

You’ll know when I know….
