8.24A
Honestly I can't seriously believe that this is actually happening, that I'm actually back here and starting something that I've put off for at least a year, all things considered I'm at least extremely happy that I got out of that blasted state of California, and back to where my real true family happens to live, that and not near my nut cased crazed mother at all. However I figured that I would now document everything that happens here while I'm trying to get not only my life together, but also at the same time making my dreams come true. You see that was something that just wasn't going to be happening in that state at all.
Ok let's back up a bit here, I'm currently right now sitting in a motel room somewhere in the lovely state of Massachusetts where my dad, step-mother and my sister (of my two sisters) happen to live (my other sister lives one state to the south west of this one in Rode Island). I tried to sleep in as much as possible, but that just wasn't going to be happening considering my A.D.H.D. problem that I've had for years and doesn't seem to be getting fixed any time soon. Right now though, I've got a full plate when it comes to what's going to be going on today. I've got an apartment that I'll be looking into, namely since my dad and step-mother vetoed me coming to live with them, even though I can not only pay my own way, but I was actually kind of hoping to help with their bills and everything. After all once I got that first of many paychecks from the publisher in dealing with my first book, I knew that from there everything was only going to be a matter of time. However since they said, no it meant that I've had to not only live out of my car for a little while, but also hit up both truck stops and motels to make sure that I can get everything done that needs to be done (i.e. showers and laundry). However once I get the apartment today, all that ends and for good and of course I've got the job interview on Monday and that should also help out.
Now I know what you're thinking, ok he's published, why in the world would he be going to be heading for a job interview? Well here's the kicker of everything, a job only counts for a steady flow of income that will be there period depending on two things 1) how well you're doing your job in the first place, and 2)how long you last at your job as well. Where as when it comes to writing a book, that all depends on how many people buys copies of your book, and the kicker of it is with all of the e-readers that are out there these days writing may not be dying, but having hard copy books is. Now for me personally I make sure that I can get a box full of hard copies so that way I can always have some to give out, beyond the two that I personally keep for myself. Plus for me having a job keeps me grounded in the real world and that's something that I happen to like a lot better then thinking that I'll never have to work again a day in my life. The only kicker of the deal is that it happens to be a mail room position, but in truth that's the one job that I've been wanting for years any way. I'm just grateful that my sister Tina down there has been able to get this job going for me in the first place.
Anyway, I'd better get going since I have to be over at the apartment by at least ten, and this was the only motel that I could find that was even close or not full (talk about your biblical moments), only problem is, it's at least a couple of hours drive back to the apartments, and that's even with using a GPS system (which I always use). So till then, I'll let you know how everything goes.
