I wish I had some cigarettes. I'm getting bogged again in my writing. And also keeping up with my book too. >> I can't wait for this Thursday though. I'll be going out with Kelly and stuff. It'll be SO awesome.

Well, that's about it for today. Short, sweet, and to the point I guess.

I feel like him. I eat so horribly.

I'm also so tired lately. Felt like I was going to pass out in WalMart today, from the heat. I probably shouldn't have worn my black pants in this weather. Didn't realize it was going to be so friggin' hot!

Yes. We were at WalMart. But guess what? The place was CLOSED for Easter holidays. >_O Great. Oh well. I can try AGAIN on Thursday. I'll be going out with Kelly then, and I'll get some good stuff done with her. Go get sushi. Yummy.

Yeah, this is becoming a very boring blog. Oh well. I can rant and rave and no one will care. Because no one reads it. Great.

Happy Easter, loyal readers of the blog! Still trucking along with the story. Hoping it'll be easier soon, but I know it won't. Still trying to get over to Walmart to fax the letter. It'll be quicker instead of mailing it, but it won't be easy trying to get over to a fax machine either.

God, I gotta get in tune with Emily and Jerome now....can't seem to write anymore, and I've left everyone on such a cusp too.

Well, gotta get back on the story now.

The trials of a Muppet Author:

I have to get that letter faxed off to Disney about the stories. Got it proofread, and I can't think of adding anymore. I want it to be short and sweet. Nice. Got it done, but I still have to send it off.

Met up with Uncle Dave and Aunt Janice on Tuesday. Took TONS of pictures! Uncle Dave even took a very beautiful picture of myself sitting on the sidewalk, infront of some georgous azealas. Once he sends me that picture, I'll be able to use it for the back of my book!! It's nice looking and it's VERY recent. Plus...it's not copyrighted! So I have no worries about some photo company getting on my ass about using a photo they took of me! Yay!

Conked my head at the park though. Hit the same spot where a ten pound dictonary hit me only a few days before, and it STILL HURTS like mad. >_< I hope the swelling goes down soon. It's not too bad, but I was seeing double for a couple of hours after it happened. I'm okay now, but it still smarts.

The stories are going along nicely now. I've been writing off and on in a new story called "Love is Neverending"

It's going nicely I think. Everyone's all so "aww...Fozzie and Emily and Doc" They think it's so cute! Well, I think it is too, but now I'm in a rut. I can't think of what else to type. I might listen somemore to Muppet's Family Christmas music, I might get some more inspiration.

Love ya'll I guess.

Well...the alteration is going nicely. I must say though, it's tedious and tough. I just hope Universal has gotten my email about the 7th book. I really also need to get that fax to Disney.

I just hope everything that happened can be smoothed out. For a lot of things.

So goes the inderous work of my book. Currently, I'm polishing the cover art, and putting the finishing touches on the layout of the pages.

It currently stands at 685 pages. Most likely will be much larger as it progresses. I may very well have to break this into individual books. I really hope not. >> That will make it SO much more expensive to do then it already is.

That is the current cover for "Sadie's Stories". I'm hoping to really get it smoothed out now. I'll post more when it's done. Love ya guys.

A cute widdle kitty! Look at da cutesy kitty!! AWWWW!

Okay, onto more serious matters now! My book is in the last steps before being able to be published!!

*Thunderous Applause* YAAAAY!!!!

Right, right. I'm getting the offical letter done now, and I'm refitting my story with 12 pitch text. Originally it was 8 pitch Arial text.

It was 236 pages. 6 inch by 9 inch pages, with a mirror margin of .3 inches. With a top and bottom of .5 inches. The gutter was .63.


It's....still writing it. It's at 335 pages. I'll give an update soon enough to how long it ran.

The Trouble with Forums

Well, I've been on MC forums for nearly a year now. (May 13, 2006 is when I joined.) And I've read a lot on the ToughPigs website. I really enjoy the information and the snide twist on that same information that Danny (the webmaster) puts to it.

I've known that ToughPigs has had a forum for quite sometime now, but I've only recently decided to join.

I've basically told, that we don't want you there, it's a bad idea to join us.

Great. Just great. I've been bitten by them now. I'm an outcast. Oh well...I'll just stick to where my friends are, Muppet Central Forums.

I'm getting so discouraged with my book, "Sadie's Stories". I am really hoping to be able to use a friend's picture that he drew for me, slightly altered for the cover art. Finally figured out how to fix up the book, so it looks normal though. I will make the text larger. Perhaps 11 or 12 pitch in Garamond. I do not want to use Times New Roman at all. That text sucks ass.

So, onto the stories. I've written 7 books now. But I've thought about it, and I'm only going to publish 6 of them. I should have just gone with gut instinct, and just printed them off plain as day. Just gone ahead, printed them up and shipped 'em off. It would have been easier that way. But the 7th book, I can't use (most likely) because it involves the Muppets and the Back to the Future trilogy characters: Doc Brown, Marty McFly, Biff, and Griff. As well as the DeLeoran. I'm a sucker for sci-fi comedy. Plus it made the perfect foil for traveling in time.

Blame a weekend marathon of BTTF. That's what originally inspired me to write that 7th book.

"The Bonds of Family"
"Forgotten Wishes"
"Remembering The Good Times We Had"
"The Search for Sadie"
"Demon's Delight"
"Is That A Song There?"
"A Grand Adventure in Life!"

That's all of my stories that I've written so far. I just wish I could include the 7th book. I'm already having to grapple with the mouse for minor publishing rights, non-profit for my book. Because they own the friggin Muppets now. I wish Jim Henson Company owned them still. I mean...I'd still have to get the minor publishing rights, but I have a feeling it would be so much easier if it was still them that I had to deal with.

Well, so goes the fight for the book deal.
