New Year-new story

Well, I think I am going to start writing again. Ive decided in the crack of dawn and I am excited. I looked up my LinkedIn profile and it has encouraged me to dig a little deeper and find my writing website and my health and wellness website. It is remarkable the amount of time and effort I have put into writing and researching. This blog will be full of day in and day out recaps and summaries and even projections of my days to come and past. I look forward to even getting some business cards and to network with LinkedIn. I want to write a story that is fresh, new and creative. I want to do more than just survive. I have been cleared from rehab about a month ago and I was in for 3 months and previously to that I was homeless for 6 months and previous to that I was in a domiciliary for 9 months. I have a story to tell and I also want to write my nonfiction story. I WILL get back into writing and I will work on my webpages and LikendIn. Thanks for reading my blog and I hope to add more content as the days pass by. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 

New ipad

Good morning blog readers. I just got a new iPad and I'm getting used to the extendable keyboard. It's  unique. The first thing I did was checked out my new headphones. They are Dr. Dre beats wireless. I went through my iTunes library and found Switchfoot and listened to them for a while. I also have been playing Xbox one. The game I chose to get was GTA V and it is enjoyable. With Xbox gold I also got Watchdogs which I just started playing. I also got Battlefield 1 with the Xbox one although I don't particularly enjoy war games except for Call of Duty and some others. I'm staying with my parents for a while until I move in with my brother his partner and his partners mother. At least I will be living with other people and I wont be isolated. I'm enjoying some Starbucks coffee I brewed at around 5AM. Yes, I woke up early. Maybe because I was excited with all the new electronics. 

Diamonds in the Rough

I am staying at my parent's house. I just woke up and I'm watching Zelda Breath of the Wild and a new show called Shameless. The game is living up to the hype and the show is absolutely insane. Insane as in like American Pie but in episodic form. I'm enjoying a nice coffee and a nice morning at my condo.

I just picked up a new novel from by brothers friend Kyle. It's called Shock Wave. He got it for 10 cents; a deal of ten paperbacks for a dollar from the library.

I'm starting to write again. I have 10 chapters for Diamonds in the Rough. It's pretty cool. The robbers have decided to leave their homes and go out and party at a casino with their cash. Okay back to writing...wish me luck! 

Just went on a bike ride. I have been riding my twins bike a lot. It feels good with the endorphins after. The medication I am on is complimentary to ADHD treatment. It doesn't work for me unless you work out daily. It is supposed to work 30 days after you start taking it.

I just went to a group meeting at the Orlando VA and we talked about values. One of my values is knowledge and another is health. Drinking is bad for both of those. I am on Naltrexone, a drug that takes away urges to drink. I mentioned it in the group meeting and the other members had no idea about it. They all asked how to spell the name and how they could start. I mentioned they should ask their doctor. I was wondering why their doctor didn't mention it before.

Anyways, I still have not edited Diamond in the Rough.  I have been putting it off for a while now. I think it's because there are so many errors that need to be fixed. Logical and order errors but it's because I had a friend edit it and he is kind of a perfectionist. 

Nintendo

I'm checking out the new Nintendo switch on youtube. There is a video that is over 6 hours long on the new Zelda game called Breath of the Wild. I like the graphics. It's not really next generation but the world seems so large. Nintendo can get away with that. Zelda is such a big title that it doesn't need next gen graphics. It has unlimited puzzles and cool enemies.

I'm on page 636 of The Fireman. I'm surprised how the protagonist is pregnant and able to deal with all of what is going on. I really think the book could be condensed. There is a lot of rambling about nothing going on. They have escaped a near death explosion and a 50 caliber gun with a harmony called the shine. I usually write notes while I read a book in case I am going to do a youtube review. I have lost myself in this book and stopped writing notes.

***

It's a new day. Just got back from a nice bike ride. Actually two bike rides. My brother's bike is awesome. Going for a nice walk now. 

I'm back to audio books on audible. I'm listening to the fireman by Joe Hill. It's not that confusing.

I pawned my apple computer. The one with my novel on it. Now it is gone. So I have to write another novel. I'm editing Diamond in the Rough. It's about a robber who has schizophrenia and a detective named Deacon Metcalf who is chasing after him. In order for Deacon to find the robber, he must think like a robber.

Just chatted with a professor from Full Sail. He taught writing horror and suspense. He told me that amazon Prime has audiobook channels.

Just took a long walk, to clear my mind and to get some exercise. Then ATT came here to install fiber optics. It's optional so I am not going to sign up. 

Classes

I can't sleep. It's 3 am and I woke up. I had a cigarette and made some coffee. Now I'm watching House and trying to decide whether or not I am going back to sleep. I think I'll stay awake for a while then hit the hay. I have to stay awake now that I have made coffee. The episode of House is about an author who tried to kill herself. She is good at reading minds. She also finished her novel by killing off the protagonist Jack Cannon, boy detective. House is stunned. Off to bed...

I rested again and now I'm back. My dad is going to pick me up so I can go to the VA. There are some classes I need to take there. To be continued....

I just got back from the VA and I have classes Tuesday and Friday for alcoholism next week. I really think I'm taking the right steps in defeating this. It will help me to write more. That is my main goal. Oh, and to quit smoking. They really got a lot of information from me in a short period of time. She was a younger person and she was good at what she does. Evaluate people. It was a short session, maybe an hour or so. They asked a lot of questions about alcohol and other stuff.
