If you have been following my random blog, you know that I love to play Everquest 2. EQ2 is in MMORPG, which means Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. Hundreds of thousands of people across the globe log in, make characters, and go on quests and adventures to raise their level, get equipment that will help them be stronger and better, and meet new friends. Yes, it is a game, but it’s more than just a game. MMO’s offer a social aspect to gaming that you can’t find on a single-player or even a regular 2-4 multiplayer type game. One…

If you think about it, most of us use some kind of excuse every day. We all make excuses for things we were supposed to do or things we planned to do, but didn’t, or excuses to get out of things we just plain don’t want to do. We make excuses to get ourselves out of trouble and to justify our laziness or our inability to perform. Sometimes, excuses are just to make us feel better about ourselves. If you can honestly get through a single day without using an excuse, either to someone else or to yourself, then you…

Sometimes I wish that I didn’t need to sleep. Wouldn’t it be great if we could just sleep for say, 24 hours straight, then wake up and stay awake and productive for the next five or six days? If we could just store up the sleep that we get, that would honestly be possible. It’s not though, and I didn’t need to do some long, drawn-out research study to figure it out. I was trying to remember the longest I ever stayed awake without a single minute of sleep, but I just can’t place it. It was probably right around…

Yay! They have officially announced a second Sex and the City movie! Everyone is on board from what they are saying, which means the same great writer, same amazing actresses, same trendy stylists. According to People.com, they will start filming this summer and the movie is slated to come out summer 2010. I’m very excited, but I have to wonder where they’ll take this next movie. Carrie and Big are already married and that has been the central love story of the entire series. Maybe they will have a baby? Hmm. And Samantha is over 50, which isn’t old old,…

It’s very strange, but I swear I had a feeling something was going to come in yesterday. I’ve been waiting to hear back from the latest editor/publisher about my short story and Woman’s World magazine about my very short story. Somehow, I just felt that I would hear about one or the other. And I did. At about 9:00 last night, an editor from the publishing house I sent it to emailed me. In terms of rejections, it was the best possible scenario. She gave me a full paragraph on how I could improve my story, and then continued to…

That is the question… G and I were up ’til freaking 3 something in the morning talking about money. Basically, the short of it is that the publishing business is freakishly slow, so even if I happen to finish three novels before October, there’s a very slim chance an editor will have really looked at it, much less paid me for it. I could try to find an agent, but that’s 15% off the top, so by the time my $5000 advance got to me and I pay taxes on it, I’ll have more like $2500’ish… which is no week…
