Getting familiar with tech stuff…

ok so I some how got behind the times… easy to do in this day and age…

I am trying to get a better grip on the blogging concepts in general…

Well when I don’t get something I learn about it. I am rather good at research… well when it is something I want to learn about at least…

So anyway i thought I should catch up with some of the tech stuff… i just now got around to learning about RSS feeds… lol yes i am only now learning about them. I mean in concept i knew what it was but not how to use them…

I realized i waste allot of time because I do not take advantage of them… so now this mornig I am getting on that…. opps

I have many times been slow to get with the times… but only sometimes… well i have taken a while on this but have learned my lesson… at least on this lol

Editing

I am not so good at it actually… but i have been hard at work…

I got the first 7 chapters edited

I am happy… but now my brain hurts…. and my eyes burn a bit too i may be done with the first half of the book tomorrow…

The second half will take longer as I have done less editing in general…

I am going through this book much faster than I expected. I can only hope hat getting an agent and getting it published goes as easy for me…

An of course I am gathering notes for book two and forming a story for another set of books with different characters. I have a story idea about an female embalmer…

Dose any one know how cover art is dealt with???

If you just need to laugh until your sides hurt!!!!!!

I heart Fark!!!!

lol platypus

My dad was here pretty recently and I introduced him to LOLcats! I have not seen that old man laugh so hard in ages. He had me send links to my step mom who he is sure would love the kettehs!!!

Well anyway, my dad had asked me to make one with a platypus about god having a since of humor. That has alway been one of his fav jokes, well at least one he tells allot…

So i made this today for my dad… I hope he likes it… It is my first try at making anything like this… Giggle…

Chapter 4 now posted!!!

I have posted the last of the chapters that will go into the blog….

I have also updated all the pages that go with my book.  I have reformatted the chapters, and made them a little easier on the eyes… Also those are the more resent edits of the book (not much has changed, just spelling grammar and typos).

I am working on the over hauling of the second half of the book today… not sure when I will be done with that but i am excited, over all this project has moved much faster than I thought… I can only hope that all the stories come out of me so fast.

Well with out an further ado: Live After Naomi Main Page

or skip straight to Chapter 4

Enjoy and happy reading….

I am back to editing now….

Zippy!!!! My New Kitteh!!!!

He is too cute… He adopted us too….

followed Jon and I in after we came home from shopping one night and has made himself quite at home.

HE LOVES to snuggle and loves to sleep next to me, and on me… In fact at this moment he is asleep in my lap…

I know i look like crap, but he looks sweet.. this was right before we went to sleep last night!!!!!

Editing the second half of my book…

Sucks….

I got really sick a few months ago and edited the first half of my book already. Well the first time… I would call it the second draft… I still need line edit for that, well I did that even once so I guess part one is on its 3rd draft.

The second half…. well it is written… blah… I have not even read through it…. I put it aside for the last few days… So i shall work on it today…

I have gumbo on the stove and my writing music on… Any one who knows me knows that my spelling sucks, and my grammar is at times archaic… so I need to fix all that… Thank Those Above for word perfect!

it is time for that dark and evil side of me to come out! The Grammar Nazi! (Not that I really have much of that side to me! For this I will try!)

My goal is to have all the editing and rewrites done by the end of the year! I know I am going to have to do some rewriting… for that is the way of life, and the sooner it is done I can start the next book… If I am lucky I can do all of this with out havening to go back to stripping… I unlike Naomi do not like being a stripper, but hey it has payed the bills in the past… And it is getting time pay those again… and OH MY the booze is running low… We can not let that happen!!!! So Time for me to get to work… sooner I do that, the closer to a paycheck I get!

Allergies I has them

My noes is mad, at me… I hate this I hate coughing and sneezing, and such. I am drinking coffee just so I can breathe… At least i have netflix to keep me up all night…

If I am lucky, my noes will not hurt in the morning…

Despite all of this i can not help day dreaming about going to New Orleans. Not That I can go, but i wish I could…

sigh…

No doubt if I was able to go i would not be  able to breathe there.

Blah… Guess I will have to take some medicine soon…

an evening with Keven Smith 2: Evening Harder

OMG this is the funniest shit I have seen in a long time! I laughed so hard i almost peed myself…

Keven Smith is one of the funniest guys ever. wanna know what chuck norris, Chewbaca, and  Keven smith have in common?

Well i am telling you this  made my whole night better!!!!

my alcoholic friends

This has been stuck in my head all day!!!!!!

I love this song too!!!!!!

my alcoholic friends

I’m counting back
the number of the steps
it took for me to get
back on the wagon of the weekend

I’ll use the autotimer to prove that
I got home with my imagination
if they find the body in the basement
“in the very house that she was raised in!”

I’m taking down
the number of the Times
so when we get the sign
from god I’ll be the first to call them

I’m taking back the number of the beast
cause 6 is not a pretty number
8 or 3 are definitely better
a is for the address on the letter
to my alcoholic friends

I’m trying hard
not to be ashamed
not to know the name
of who is waking up beside me
or the date, the season or the city
but at least the ceilings very pretty
and if you are holding it against me

I’ll be on my best behavior
taking shots for mother nature
once my fist is in the cupboard
love is never falling over

should I choose a noble occupation
if I did I’d only show up late and
sick and they would stare at me with hatred
plus my only natural talent’s wasted on my alcoholic friends
my alcoholic friend
