I am going to try and make a go of it. I’ve gotten some recent strong encouragement and it has recharged the old creative batteries a bit. So I am really trying to write more and get the REAL career going.
Wish me luck. I will try and post some tidbits for people to read if anyone’s interested. The ultimate goal is to be a published author. Now I just have to focus on one thing at a time!

Oh, and that new guitar?
I'm still going to do it, although now I've changed utterly which one it will be. On June 1st Fender lowered the prices on a lot of their stuff so I'm immediately putting a Fender Highway One Telecaster on layaway this Friday. It's awesome and I can't wait!!
The best part is they ARE American-made, have a cool retro nitrocellulose finish and are only six hundred beans at the moment. Can't really pass it up.

I'm not very good at this, am I?
I keep meaning to refocus and rejigger this blog to be funnier, or be more creative, but I end up just talking. One thing I am constantly guilty of is trying to do too many things, and having too many interests. It ends up costing me in the end because I never seem to get anything done. I mean, I'm trying to write various novels, screenplays, draw, learn to play the guitar, catch up on my reading, plus fitting in work and the time at home. All this while going through the single worst financial crisis of my entire life.
What I really need to do is focus. Focus, focus, focus. It's long been my problem but at least I am aware of it. I just honestly seem to have no way to really force myself into one thing or another, and I end up just goofing off most of the time.
It's depressing, and irritating, and I'm working on it. Bear with me, or offer words of encouragement or whatnot. It's equally depressing because I also see my brother doing the things I want to do and always expected I *would* do but never got around to it.
I will do, then, what I always say I will do and so far have failed utterly, completely and miserably at; reversing the process and getting something done.
I will try and talk about it as I am going on. That at least seems to be therapeutic, and helpful (while simultaneously taking me off task!)
