Hello Everyone! No, I’m not dead, maimed, or even crippled. I’ve just been busy doing OT at work and writing.
Let’s see, I guess I should update everyone. I’m working at Mt. Saint Mary’s college (pictures one and two). It’s a girls catholic college located in Brentwood which is next to Beverly Hills and Bel Air. The school is situated on the top of a hill that overlooks Los Angeles. To the east, I can see downtown and to the west I can see the ocean. I’m working the nightshift again so I run into quite a bit of wildlife. There are deer that graze the area every night. I’ll usually run into about 5-7 a night. I also see coyotes, skunks, and the occasional raccoon.
I’m working on a book of short stories that I hope to finish by the end of the summer. I’m about 75 pages in. My style is slowly developing but I feel it still needs a little work. With all the work I’ve done you’d think my grammar and spelling would’ve improved. Nope. Good thing Mona’s a great editor.
I pretty much finished my script. My second draft turned into a complete overhaul. When I get a chance I’m going to finally finish the stupid thing. Anyway, the second draft turned out great. It definitely needs some work but I think it’ll get there soon.
I haven’t been reading much nonfiction lately. With the exception of a couple of economic books, it’s been mostly fiction for me. I have concluded that I actually like nonfiction better. People look at me strange when I say this. Nonfiction is faster paced and more interesting. Besides, reading fiction is almost like watching TV. The only reason I’m currently still reading fiction is because that is style I’m working on.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been taking any pictures. This is partly due to the fact that I have been working so much overtime. The other reason is just plain laziness. I’m going out this weekend so hopefully I’ll update my Flickr site soon.
I feel like I pretty much spend my days (or nights) doing the things I love. I’m still growing as a person and constantly reanalyzing everything. In short, things are going good.
