Time flies when you’re having fun.  Or doing whatever it is I’ve been doing since the beginning of January.  Where to begin?

I have been writing a bit, mostly SEO articles for paid blogging sites at other locations.  It usually results in gas and grocery money for the week, sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less.

I’ve whored out my oldest blog to pretty much nothing but paid articles.  I won’t even link you because some of it’s lame.  The bad thing about those content mills is they don’t let you choose what you want to write about.  At this point the only thing I’m refusing to write about is diet pills (and by refuse I mean I ignore the assignment until it goes away).

I’ve also been doing a lot of reading.  I got a Kindle in April (yes, two months before the price drop), and after filling it with stories of wizards, vampires and werewolves, I started in with the self-help books.  These are the ones I am currently reading, and I will be sharing more about them in the coming blog posts:

The 4-Hour Workweek, Expanded and Updated by Timothy Ferriss

On Writing: A Memoir Of The Craft by Stephen King

The Well-Fed Writer by Peter Bowerman

If you’re still reading, thanks for hanging around waiting for me to come back.

Today was a very light day, because today was a very heavy day.  My day job seemed more like a nightmare than a way to make a living.  It’s gotten to be mid-evening now, and I’m just not willing to write anything tonight.

Here’s what I got done today:

1.  Personal blog post.

After work I ran by the library and picked up a copy of The Well-Fed Writer.  I’m on page 13 (Chapter Two) and I can already tell that I am going to have to buy the book.  I really like what he has to say.  He thinks the way I think, and after the day I had today, I could definitely seeing living the life he talks about.

Tomorrow I will be doing lots of writing.
