Going in the Opposite Way of Writing

Sometimes life just breaks down the door, grabs you, and pulls you out on a journey that ignores your pitiful screams of "WAIT!" and "I'm not ready yet!" And that's wher I've found myself for the last month.

For those of you not privy to the events of the past month, I've been promoted to the Store Manager of a (not-so-local) GameCrazy store. In this exodus to this store in Lawton (roughly an hour and a half away), I've had to move myself all the way there and take over a store that has been without a store manager for the last month (which is when I got the store but as held back at my old store until certain things got taken care of). Now I've taken over the store and am in the process of putting in a filing system and fixing the way they do paperwork.

What does all this mean?

I have had no time to write. I'm moving up in my company, but stalling out on my actual passion. Add to the fact that my laptop was stolen about a month ago and am now restricted to writing on random computers or at home on my desktop where there's so much shit to do that I cannot seem to focus on the writing at hand. I need to re-immerse myself in the world and will do my best to get back into the habit. Maybe I'll finish this book by the end of the year.

God I hope so.

Damn J., you didn't tell me that your laptop was stolen. Get a cheap assed desktop for your new apartment. If you can set back some cash for a good one that's great, but there's a used pc store here in OKC and they sell 'em real, rel cheap. Of course they're not so good for gaming for video intensive work like that, but you can word process until the cows come home without any problems at all.

Best wishes,
