Hey, you like Lost In Space?
Wait til you read this...
Okay, I love Irwin Allen. The man. He too was a radio personality. Just like me. Then he made it big. I'm still waiting...
I joined some Groups that keep the man and his achievements alive:
Lost In Space Fest
Robot
Roboter
Roboterer
Lost In Space Pod and Saucer Clubhouse
Irwin Allen
Lost In Space Memories
Lost In Space Pod
Lost In Space Collectibles
I sent a photo of the Jupiter 2 sitting on the launch pad that I found on the Fantastic Culttvman.com, then I sent this picture to these amazing home builders who must be aliens, by was of France. Kinda saying can you build this house? These are the coolest F'ing houses in the world! So now I get an e-mail from these French guys saying...
Hi Jerry,
We are Domespace Inc. based in New York City. Patrick Marsilli forwarded me your email. We can indeed use our design to build a house as per the photograph you sent. We will require extensive engineering regarding the stand on which the dome will be build. It could be made of steel or concrete and here again it
will have to be studied. The structure of the dome will be made in laminated beams with a copper roof. The bottom could be covered of either Aluminum or stainless steel sheets.
For your info our standard dome is about US $ 100 per sq. feet. My wild guess (subject to a complete study) could probably double to costs to US $ 200 per sq. feet.
I will have to get a quote from an engineer regarding the engineering study of the the base as well as costs estimates which will probably be between 10 to 20 000 dollars.
It is an exciting project. Please let us know how you want to proceed.
Regards
Shiva Vencat
Domespace Inc.

I hope I don't get a bill for this inquiry...
This really could be the coolest house on the planet and every Lost in Space fan's dream. Please sent me money, so I can have these guys build it for me to live in... I let you sleep over once in a while. We can stay up late watching Lost in Space on DVD in the theater room.
Are you an actor/performer looking to meet new fun people to bounce your skills off of while getting it on camera?
Filmmaker looking to put together a group of fun actors, who get together once a week, who can create their own roles on films, who are self starters and comfortable in a fast workshop pace. We split any money it makes evenly (you know it won't, but then...) but we really just want to sell these off the group website, the accounting will be open book to all members for that film.
If you've ever just wanted to see yourself in another role that casting directors never put you in, this might be the place. These are no-budgets, so any props you need, you bring yourself. When we finish with the edit (also open to members) or even complete the piece, we can buy a copy for $10. or if you don't feel it was worth having pay nuthin'.
Think of it as free workshop that you just might make money from... You always need something to show, credit on your resume, and free press. You will get that here in this group.
Only serious actors please, no crazy people (wait what am I saying...?) Okay, no trouble makers! Just fun people putting on a show!

Video director of Pearl Jam, Dramarama, Charlatans, and your band.....
I don't care what music style, format, signed or unsigned... I just got generous and want to continue stretching the skill palette of my fast shoots. One song under 5 minutes in length for $500. Got two songs 2.5 minutes in length? Those two songs $500.
One day shoot. You do the hair and make up and clothes.
Depending on the complexity of the song and video turnaround should be under two weeks. You get VHS and DV tape.

I'm starting a Club, not a Club-club, but a get together thing where we meet at a restaurant for about an hour every week. In this meeting we can talk about comedy that makes us laugh and comedy that makes us think.
Then we can brainstorm ideas about writing sketches and performing them on digital video, live, and or on the radio. We can share in costs (which better be small) and share equally in any (as if) profits.
I currently make music videos, have equipment, and a radio show, so we got that covered. We might want to think about setting up a streaming audio website where we can display our (if any) talent we have.
Looking to make faux documentaries, commercials, infomercials, and other spoofs.
Think of this as just fun meeting new people and no one hopefully will get hurt.

Every week meet a friendly group to swap videos and DVD's of Adult Films. We meet in a restaurant, in public so be cool!
We will also join forces and funds to generate Adult Product of our own. Each participating member (no pun, please) will share equally in any profits.
If you are interested in meeting like minded people and making Fetish, Lesbian, any kind of legal porn, or just sharing product... Let's get together.
We will create our own website and sell our own stuff. You will be able to check the accounting. If you are a dancer/model/actress/actor looking for safe, fun, and a more active role in your career... Let's meet!
Only friendly easy going people please... No wackos, unless you're a total babe, then we will just suffer with your personality while only exploiting your looks.
---------------------
Let the fun begin!
Well, all I can say is... I didn't lose any money on the Super Bowl thing. I wish there was a Super Bowl everyday. There was hardly any traffic, the restaurants were nearly empty, unless is was one with a bar, and all the assholes seemed confined to their own groups.
It looks like the job with the Radio Station in Grand Rapids isn't happening. Got the "vib" from an e-mail saying that they had "come up with an interesting idea". Well, that can't mean me. I think alot of Program Directors lack any kind of vision. They fear hiring anyone that might sound better or do a better job on-air pulling in ratings. That's okay. You wouldn't want to work for someone who felt insecure. They want to pick'em young and malleable, so that DJ will be wearing the PD's brand on their hide. Just part of the game. Best to continue and look for PD's without fear.
Or just continue making porn videos here in Hollywood...

Hey don't know if you remember the Fetish model that once responded to my Personals Ad, well I finally met her in person. I made sure that we met in a public place. I made sure to wash in all the stinky places. I made sure that I carried a gun.
We met at Star Wok, I woulda met her at Frontier Wok, but I had been there earlier in the day. They seemed please that I had a meal with a woman after so many dinners with my friend Aaron. After my divorce and spending so much time with Aaron, I think there were some questions bouncing around in the minds of the Chinese.
It was kinda funny. Aaron actually walked in while I was eating with this lady. I believe this gal thought it was all planned, but she just has no idea how dull our lives are... My life anyway. Aaron was there to see the waitress as always.
It was interesting cause I was still tripping from my Effexor Flashbacks and my dropping caffeine off my diet and I somehow ended the dinner by checking for a lump on this models chest in the parking lot. The lump was actually under her arm, but I have large hands and a depth perception problem, so I may have made contact with her extremely large breast. Well, she has two large breasts, but I only feel part of one and a lump. Repeatedly.
I only say this cause I've taken classes on breast detection and directed a breast examination video, so I'm sort of an expert. If you or some other models you know need to be checked...
I just read singer Anastacia Battling Breast Cancer, see if she had called me earlier... People you gotta go get checked, can't mess around with this. I need to get my prostate checked come to think of it. Maybe I'll get a gang of folks to all go and get their junk checked and make a day of it. Could be fun. Like Twister!
My friend George Noory told me he's moving to town. He might just be working down the hall from Phil Hendrie in Sherman Oaks. George is really a great guy and his show is getting better every day. Maybe just as he moves here, I'll be moving away to another station and market.
I got a call yesterday from the consultant, who's now flown out to Grand Rapids to the station to do what consultants do, and he tells me the PD never got my Morning Show demo package. I'm wondering if this is "Radio-Speak" for, "Sorry Dude, we're looking for someone else!".
I really wanted to get this gig, I could really do a number on market #66... 66? I've never been on the radio in a market less than #10 unless I was on an affiliate. Man, is my career goin' down!
Market Ranking: 66
Population (1997):(000) 822.0
Number of Households (1997):(000) 297.2

Retail Sales (1997)(000,000) 11,954.2
�
Estimated Growth revenues (2000): (000) $40,200

Don't know what all this means, but all that and 8 Degrees above 0!
Boy, I could ROCK that town's world if they'd only give me a chance!

Well, haven't killed myself just yet, waiting for that Pay-Per-View offer first. Still got the heebeegeebees from my lack of Effexor.
There's a radio station in Grand Rapids, Michigan that I'd totally love to be doing a show on... A consultant friend who's just flown out to try and push me sent an e-mail telling me the temperature was 8 Degrees above 0. He said,"Are you sure about this?"
My friend Aaron said, "Dude, you get cold when it's 60 Degrees out here!"
It is true. I do get cold. But, I feel if I had a nice lady to keep me warm, I'd be okay.
I had a German Shepard as a kid named, "Lady", she was warm.
Once, I was in a blizzard with Lady, looking for my friend Luke who was lost. And when I found Luke, he was frozen. So, I had to split Lady open and put Luke inside her guts to keep warm til the speeders arrived from the Rebel Base.
I remember saying, "I thought Lady only smelled bad... On the outside."
That got quite a laugh from the crowd. But, when I put a character named, "Jar-Jar..." Wait a minute! I think all that was a movie.
I think I'm insane, now. Me need drugs...
And a warm lady.

I ran out of my Effexor, anti-depression medication and haven't been able to get it refilled. So, I've been going through some amazing withdrawal hallucinations. Just like "Trainspotting", I've been locked in my place with images of babies crawling on the ceiling. Hope that's okay to have that happening to me.
It sucks being strung out on drugs when they are being prescribed legally and then your Doctor travels out of the country and the pharmacists won't help you. So maybe going cold turkey and just facing up to my suicidal tendencies is a positive thing.
I'll let you know if I end up killing myself.

Well, I tried to celebrate the Holiday of Larry King's Birthday this weekend, but just wasn't really into it. I don't get CNN anymore, so I only hear King's message in the form of a commercial for Ginkgo on late night talk radio. Ginkgo biloba works! Click here to view the latest research. Before breakfast, practice 10 minutes of even deep breathing to stay calm, prepare for the day and defend against stress. Studies show that too much cortisol, a stress hormone, can contribute to impaired memory. Lay down, Have a nap, and then say, "I have a Dream". Hopefully it won't be one of those where you find yourself walking in public without clothes on, I hate that one.

I want to thank everyone for getting involved in offering me help and advising me about my idea of living in my Honda.
The brother I mentioned before who thinks I'm nuts, has made my life a little bit harder... I have three older brothers and he is the youngest. Well, he had to go and tell everyone my plan. I even told him it was just a plan, or even just an idea, I feel that means room for change. Meaning, I was willing to listen to what people had to say. Now all my family members are seeking Medical advice for my mental condition.
Okay, so maybe it's not a great idea.
I did take the seats out of my Honda and measured some plywood and foam padding for storage and new flooring. A guy who lives in what probably was at one time a Airstream, before it was gutted by fire, walked down from the other block near where I live in Hollywood and saw what I was upto. He had some advice as well. After I gave him some spare change. He agreed with another poster here who said people treat you differently when they think you're homeless. This guy, who is probably in his sixties, but looks over a hundred years old thanks to the nice California UV Radiation, said his idea was to save money for a home as well. I asked him when did he start saving and he laughed and said once he started living on the street he just got
use to it and never tried to save any of his money. He just got accustom to living cheap, so he had no need of trying any harder for employment, or accumulating money.
This made me sad.
I wonder sometimes if these little accidents, this happenstance of conversations with strangers aren't sometimes someone trying to tell us something or warn us.
My Chinese friends still think I should do it. Then they say something to each other in Chinese and then they laugh alot... In my direction.
Come to think of it all my so called friends want me to do this... In the coldest of climates even.
Maybe I don't really have any friends, but this old dude from down the street that I just talked to for the first time and those that have sent me money to buy a Lance Camper.
Just kidding nobody sent me any money! Did you feel left out? Are you writing a check right now to me? Don't forget it's 200(3!), I'm still writing 02 on all my worthless checks.
I still have time to think this thing through before my family puts me away.
I might come up with a different idea with everybody's help.
Thanks for the the nice hefty check you sent me. I promise to use it to cover my Therapist's bill after I get back from the Strip Club.
Ya know, I see a Doctor every two weeks, actually I see a Doctor everyday. My neighbor is a Doctor and I see her leave for work every morning. But seriously folks, I'll be here all week.
My Doctor thinks I'm doing very well, he even enjoys my visits. I can tell cause I can hear it in his laughter after I leave his office and he closes the door.
He thinks the medication I'm on is doing good. He says, he thinks I'm doing so well in fact, he'd like to see me everyday. I haven't got around to telling him about the Honda-living idea yet, or that I can hear XM Satellite broadcasts eminating from my right shoe. Again just kidding, I did tell him about my Honda idea.
He said, "What? Are you freakin' nuts?"
Okay so maybe it's not right to live in a Honda, maybe I should try a Mini.

I just got off the phone with a friend who knows I love these kind of stories, so he had to tell me this. He works at Sony Studios in Culver City and he's been working late on the movie Bad Boys 2 with Will Smith. He said he was driving home late about 3AM in Hollywood and was approaching what looked like a cat sitting on a manhole cover. When he got closer its eyes turned glowing red in his headlights. But, here's the weird part. It wasn't a cat at all...
It was a human head pushing up the manhole cover and when my friend's car got closer it ducked back down and the manhole cover slammed shut.
He said that the guy was all hairy with black hair and dirty facial hair. He said the guy didn't look human at all, but like an ape.
I know there are sadly alot of homeless people in Hollywood, soon I may join them, but have you ever heard a story like that?
Why would someone be watching cars from a manhole cover in the middle of a busy (even at 3AM) street?

My eyes are so sore, but I can't stop reading!
I just finished Captain Nemo by K. J. Anderson about Jules Verne (1828-1905), writer, creator of the troubled and bi-polar captain of the Nautilus of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. In this made up biography of Verne, Kevin Anderson imagines a "real" Andre Nemo with A.D.D I believe, Verne's boyhood friend who lived the life that Verne wanted but didn't, cause the dude had to write. I liked it! Don't know if Anderson is a Scientologist, but start lining up to follow this prolific writer just in case he starts his own cult. I know I am!

Boy, I've been in such a funk lately.
I just have no energy.
The crack I've been smoking just doesn't have the same kick anymore.
I read all those Romance books and I don't think I enjoyed them, but I did shave my legs today and I sat on the toilet when I peed. The Librarian for sure thinks I'm Gay now, I picked up Christopher Lowell's, If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It: Dream Decor on a Budget It's a New book on Interior Decorating, The Symbolist Tradition in English Literature:A Study of Pre-Raphaelitism and Fin de Siecle by Lothar Honnighausen and the Navy Seal Handbook.
My cat (boy, that seals it! he's Gay!) well, not my cat, the neighborhood cat, he so funny, he does this thing where when a nice warm car pulls up to park, he runs and jumps up on the hood to get warm. He has to get there fast, cause all the other cats in the area have learned this trick too. Well, this morning about 5:30AM it was real cold when I came back to park, but I had just pulled in from a few blocks away, so the car wasn't even warm when I parked. So here he comes and he jumps up on the hood, hits what he thinks is gonna be a nice butt warmer, but it's wet and cold. He slides around, gives me a real weird look through the windshield and jumps back off and runs away. When I got out of the car, his ears were all back and he was actually pissed at me. Like I didn't warm the car up for him on purpose. I bet in the morning there will be cat crap on my Welcome mat.
Monday, January 13, 2003
It's sad that all the people I used to look up to have fallen so hard; Pee Wee Herman, Pete Townsend, Jeffery Jones, Gary Glitter, Paula Poundstone, R. Kelly, wait a second... I don't remember really ever looking up to them. I guess I always knew something wasn't quite right. I feel sorry for the little ones that do look up. They don't need to look up and see nuts bouncing around acting all silly.
I wish life was easier for kids. People get all mad when they hear about children carrying guns, but look at what kids have to deal with. I say teach 'em how to shoot straight, then hand out condoms and bullets. People say, "What about all the people wounded each year by kids using guns?" I say, if you teach them how shoot STRAIGHT, there won't be that many wounded. It's those Uzi and automatics that children have problems shooting. Give them tactical training, nice handguns and some Michael Jackson posters for targets... Problem solved!
Sunday, January 12, 2003
Well, didn't do too many of those things I thought I would, but I picked up a few new books from C.J. Cherryh, Fortress in the Eye of Time, Nora Roberts, Time and Again, and a Anne Knoll book, The House in Thornton Wood. Okay, that's it! I must be gay!
Saturday, January 11, 2003
Man-o-man! I slept for something like 25 hours. No, I haven't seen the Spike Lee flick.
I was so tired. I've been very busy dealing with contracts and legal things lately, that when I finally got to sleep I just went into a coma. So I missed Friday all together. Anything happen?
Well, I'll just have to make this Saturday twice as special! What could I do today...(?) Let's see:
Read a Romance story by Stobie Piel maybe?
Eat Orange Chicken at Frontier Wok?
Eat Mu Shu Combo at Star Wok?
See an Indie Film on the almost big screen at one of the Laemmles?
Go thrift store shopping?
Write another book?
Go back to sleep?
Take more Effexor? Yes, that's it!

It's not a Condo, it's a Hondo! The idea of living in my Honda Civic has really sparked a flame in people.
I've gotten such a reply from people on this idea.
I called my older brother who lives on a farm in Missouri and told him my idea. I could literally hear his eyes rolling in his head. He hates the idea that I live in Hollywood, so he said he thinks I've lived here too long and the pollution has rotted my brain.
He reminded me of the winters we had in Missouri when I was a kid. Then he reminded me of a radio stunt I did when I first was in radio where I and another DJ climbed our radio station tower and sit up there for 24 hours for charity. That was real stupid too! And it was freezing!
Today a friend took me to a friend of his who owns a Honda shop and they had a Civic out there that the seats were out. So I laid down on the floor and while I did fit comfortably, I wasn't really able to turn on my side and curl up. I sleep in a fetal position. I don't suck my thumb though, cause I grind my teeth. This Honda guy thinks it's very possible to make it to sleep in, but he's Chinese and about three feet shorter than I am.
Another Chinese guy there got real excited and they started talking in Chinese, then they explained that that guy could weld an extension onto the hatch to put a tent-like thing that I could pull out and set up. That sounded cool, but I've got so many people telling me what problems I'll run into just with people hassling me while I try and sleep.
Maybe I should just save this idea for a radio stunt and raise money for a charity by living in the car for a short time.
See, this is why I don't post more often, I come up with stupid ideas and then shoot my mouth off and look like an idiot. Maybe my brother is right, he thinks I need help.
Once while visiting his farm, he showed me a storage shed that he bought from the Amish. It was cedar and it was real neat. He said he paid $1500 for it. I told him I could totally live in that. So he just thinks I'm nuts.
I just hate paying rent even when I can afford it. I hate making any kind of payments. I'm always looking for ways to save and recycle.
Thanks for all the help and replies. I haven't totally given up, just may think of another way with all the responses I've received.
My friend Aaron thinks I might be able to find a house or some land and use that as a home as well for my taxes. Suzy Orman always says to live house short and something else, I can't remember...But she thinks you should always be paying on your home as a tax-thing and save your money elsewhere. I guess I don't pay much attention to her since I can't remember what the hell she said. Why did I even bring it up? Do you like her haircut? It's really short. What do you think her sexual preference is? Just wondering. No big deal, just wondering.
Wednesday, January 08, 2003
Lately I've been letting what hair I have grow out cause once when I cut myself badly while shaving my head and had to let my hair go without mowing it, Aaron told me he thought I looked good. For some reason his opinion mattered to me and I again have let it all hang out. Last night I decided to shave my beard and afterwards I noticed I had neglected trimming my nose hair. I couldn't believe how long they had gotten without me getting them caught in my food or something. I dug through the medicine cabinet and found my Panasonic nose trimmer. I love the idea that Panasonic also make nose trimmers. I could understand maybe Black and Decker, but Panasonic?
I hadn't used it in a while so when I turned it on the battery was kind of slow. I looked for another AAA battery but couldn't find one. I went back to the nose trimmer and gave it a shake as to possible wake it up or something, like the electrons had been napping. To my amazement it kicked off with power so I jammed it up my nose, but I guess the little blades inside the trimmer had oxidated and were no longer sharp, so all it did was wrap all my nose hairs up into the machine which grinded to a halt like a propeller caught in a fishing net. When I came too, and got up off the floor, I had to make a decision... Do I try and get the tweezers and surgically pull the hairs from the machine or just rip it loose?
Well, there just wasn't enough room up there for fiddlin' around so I just yanked reeeeaaalll Hard! Again I nearly passed out, but this time the trimmer came apart with the blade mechanism still lodged in my nasal cavity. This time I had to get the pliers out of my toolbox and get a grip on the tiny blades because they were way up there near my delicate brain. I pulled slowly this time and could feel each wire-like hair being pulled from its roots like the trees in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. This ordeal and my telling of this story seems just as long as that movie too.
I now have one clean and smooth as a babies nostril and one like a sascuatch waiting to be trimmed.

There seems to be a few radio stations that may be interested in having me live in their markets. That's cool. The cities I'm referring to are very cool, or seem to be by the websites I've checked out. I'm actually looking forward to explore a new city.
I was thinking about living in a camper from one of my sponsors, but I've been kicking around the idea of pulling the passenger seat and the back seats out of my Honda and converting it's floorboard into a bed and storage compartment. Living rent free and just packing away all my money so I can finally afford that cloning experiment I want to have done on that cute chick from "Smallville". Just a dream I guess, but one I feel that's good to have, specially when I put my hand in my shorts and notice the results.

The winds are so strong here the house shook all night.
I kept getting dust in my eyes today.
I saw a portable carport blown down the street.
There was a murder in my neighborhood.
A truck drove into the Metrolink and derailed it.
Then I found out from a writer friend who e-mailed me about my writing that, if I was dictating to double spaced text, font size 12, and it takes me 3 minutes to do 1 page, my goal of 500 pages it would take me 25 hours. One hour more than my one day goal of 500 pages. I must be way off on my other novel results. I'm bummed. I might just quit this program.
Unless...
Sunday, January 05, 2003
I can imagine you must be tired of me talking about this novel a day program I've started for myself. I'm tired of just talking. I've been using my VCR to record my voice onto 6 hour VHS tapes I picked up at the 99 Cent Store. Tonight I talked a good two hours before I realized the VCR was just on Play and not Record. That just knocked the wind out of me. Maybe I should Tivo my books instead.
Tonight Aaron and I ate at the other Wok, Star Wok in North Hollywood. I had Mu Shu Combo with scrimp, pork, beef, chicken, and some other stuff. Aaron had the Starlite Cup. Not really sure what's in that, but it looks like ground hamburger meat in a cabbage leaf.
We saw the band, "The Other Half" come in and talked with them for a bit. I did a couple of videos of them that I think turned out well. They had one of the hottest chicks with them tonight I may have ever seen. I really need to start a band. And be talented. And be good looking like them.
Then my world will be complete...
Saturday, January 04, 2003
The novel a day program continues... I've been using a VCR as an audio recorder back up since the dictation software is so far off from what I'm actually saying.
My throat is sore. My eyes are swollen. But my art must go on...
I've only clocked in about 246 double spaced pages for today. My original daily goal was 500 double spaced pages. I've only hit 438 pages in one day so far and that was day before yesterday.
Again, it's just about output right now, not quality. Something happens right when you fade out and realize you're just babbling that kind of takes over and it makes you feel that maybe you are saying something profound. It probably isn't profound, cause I can't go back and read them, so I can't really say if it's good or not... MUST GO FORWARD! Maybe it's like a runners high. My brain is trying to keep up with ideas and once the current pool of ideas are drained, it starts tapping in to something pure. Not necessarily good, but better than horrible. I think so anyway.
I wonder if I can keep this up all year? Let alone the rest of this month.
Friday, January 03, 2003
Boy, this novel a day thing is tough. I'm really exhausted. I've had weird dreams. My stomach hurts. I told my friend Aaron that I think I'm going to stop. Writing 400 pages a day is very hard. He talked me back into it though.
Today's book looks like it might be about the String Theory, but I swear I was dictating about the subject of old monster movies and how they can be parables or mythology for the economics of the time of their creation, and how stock market flux might be predictable from the success or failure of an audiences acceptance of implementing that monster into the public conscience as an icon of horror.
I really need to cut down on my orange chicken intake.
Thursday, January 02, 2003
Well, I wrote two full books last night and today. Both were non-fiction. One was about starting a lawn mowing business. I did that as a teenager and made good money. And the other book was about filmmaking and how you can learn alot from watching porn. I did that as a teenager and as an adult and learned I had spent alot of money.
I used a dictation software for my iMac that has a few bugs, like typing the wrong word for every word I speak. The lawn mowing book reads as a book about being a Lawyer Toad. Not sure what that means, but the book might need some revising, or I'm the next Gerry Spence.
I haven't even looked at the porn filmmaking book.
I think 800 pages of double spaced pages is pretty good for basically one day. Even though it's crap to read, I feel a Best-Seller or two is hidden somewhere in them there pages.
Wednesday, January 01, 2003
I haven't mentioned it before but, I've had a plan to start the year off by writing one novel a day. I got the idea from that novel in one month contest. I feel that it's possible to write one novel a day. I think I'll try and make this a performance and write one novel a day for a whole year. That makes... three hundred and something novels for 2003. However many days there are in 2003. Is it a leap year? I need to find out before I get started just so I have a nice clean goal.
I need to get started on the first novel soon cause it's getting late in the day. I haven't got much time left in this day. I might have to write two novels tomorrow just to catch up. I could make this a novelette, but not a short story. I have to be clear about that. If only I hadn't slept late today. I also wasted time trying to figure what kind of novel to write. Non-fiction is what I'm thinking of right now. I better get going I have less that three hours before day two of my one novel a day begins. I guess if I wrote one page a minute that be sixty pages an hour times whatever many hours I have left today as day one. Maybe I could write all night and just make sure I have two complete novels by tomorrow night before midnight. I'm thinking both could be non-fiction and maybe I should make it about something I know so I don't have to keep getting up and researching a subject. Maybe I could write about me like I'm doing now, but make it more exciting, not lie about it cause that wouldn't be non-fiction that would be something else.
Boy, my head is already beginning to hurt. I feel like I really should start this thing today, because it's the start of the new year, right? But then, a lot of stores were closed today and the mail didn't get delivered so they all had a day off, right? I mean, I could start tomorrow because today was a holiday, right? You just don't celebrate a baby's birthday on the day it's born, right? This being "day one". So what's so bad about putting this novel a day thing off until tomorrow or when there's not a good show on TV?
