Dear Diary,

Life gets me wired up sometimes, like in a hostile come at me, bro! kind of way. There is so much I want to accomplish, but it seems like time just doesn’t give any fucks whatsoever. The more I want to do, the faster time seems to go, making the time I have allotted for each task just whiz by. Coffee doesn’t seem to help matters much; maybe I’ll develop a drug habit. I hear Hugh Hefner was using drugs when he started Playboy magazine. I’ll think about it. Any suggestions? 😅

Anyway, Interview With A Werewolf is finished and off to the Beta Reader Hit Squad, so as soon as they get it back to me, I’ll be queuing it for release. Motherfuckers on Patreon will get it ASAP, of course, but everyone else will have to wait until February of next year. My release schedule is just that full.

I’m writing my little ass off over here! 🙌

I also finished and uploaded the paperback version of Good Girls Gone Bad (which is officially available for July 1st preorder) and will hire a narrator for the audiobook version tomorrow; as soon as they approve the paperback, I’ll let you guys know. It looks slick. I’m really learning how to pimp the hell out of their paperback creation system. It’s all white, with a new picture of me—you’ll see. Soon. I’m also almost finished with Naughty Professor (you can read it’s rough draft here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/17955605) – tomorrow should be the day. It would have been done today, but I kept getting hit up with side tasks. I can’t complain though. One has to pay the cost to be the boss, right?

I just wish my girlfriend Rebecca understood this. She’s kind of going through a clingy stage at the moment, which generally I wouldn’t mind (and completely understand), but I’ve been so swamped with things lately that my free time has been whittled away to nearly zero. If this were any other time of the month, it would be different, but the first few days are always insane for me. I think sometime soon I’m going to just take a complete day off and take her out somewhere because she really deserves it for putting up with my bougie ass.

That’s all for now.

More tasks to do! ✊

Thanks for reading, my loves…

💡 The More You Know…

The average erection contains enough blood to keep three gerbils alive.

As lovely as it was yesterday to relax and unwind, it felt so good to jump back into my routine and start writing again. Well, I didn’t exactly fall back into my routine – I woke up shortly after 4AM and started everything early just because I was so anxious to let loose with all this pent-up creativity.

And boy did I.

I spent over four hours outlining Voyeur: Season 1 Episode 5, almost finishing it. I would have completed it if I didn’t have to go back over the previous episodes in the series to refamiliarize myself with everything. Luckily, I kept detailed notes, so everything came back to me relatively quickly. Going over the previous episodes made me realize that I’m going to have to edit and re-release them, however, as they are peppered with little grammatical errors that somehow, I missed the first time around.

When I finally reprogrammed myself for the Voyeur series, I sat down and started outlining everything for episode 5 and even season two’s first episode and was amazed at how fast the clock started counting down. It kind of pissed me off. 😅

My mood was lightened considerably throughout the day though, especially when an old high school friend and I started going back and forth on Facebook Messenger trying to gross each other out. I ended the competition a little while ago by introducing her to blue waffles. #Winning 😄

Our banter helped me knock out the rest of my tasks, like making the requested changes to the newly revised paperback version of When Daddy Was Away (which they’ll hopefully accept tomorrow), and finally starting the transformation process of making Interview With A Werewolf an eBook. Which should also be done by tomorrow. 🙌

Tomorrow cannot get here fast enough!

I think I’m going to sign off now and finish reading my current book, Daddy, I’m Sorry, which is a bizarre story with several twists I didn’t expect. Which is rare for a voracious reader such as myself. It’s a pleasant change.

Until tomorrow loves.

Stay happy. 😊

I went to bed last night and was so restless that I probably resembled a fidget spinner as I twirled around on my bed, flipping through position after position trying to get comfortable. I was all over that motherfucker. Luckily, I was in bed alone. Otherwise, someone would have ended up on the floor. 😅 It was obvious to me after an hour that I wasn’t going to be able to go to sleep, so I decided to be productive and use my insomnia to my advantage.

So, I slithered my naked ass (naked comment inserted exclusively for Selina 😏) over to the computer, briefly browsed through my task list for the day, and then proceeded to merc the shit out of everything on it. Long story short? By 6AM, everything I had planned to do throughout the day was complete.

Highlights: I finished flushing out my account on LibraryThing, completed the rough draft of Voyeur: Season 1 Episode 5 (Though honestly, I’m not happy with it yet. But then, it is a rough draft.), finally triumphed over Amazon in the battle over the paperback cover of When Daddy Was Away, and completely finished and compiled Interview With A Werewolf, which will be released September 1st (Unless you happen to be Ronnie, the VIP Patreon who requested the story. He has it in his hands now. 😜)

And then fielded an interesting question that gave me a bit of a pause on Facebook. A reader messaged me telling me she was a fan of mine (I really hate that word) and was shocked when I responded and even talked to her for a bit. She said she had written to other celebrities in the past (I quickly corrected her. I am not a celebrity! 😅) and never received a response from any of them.

The question she asked me was why I was so receptive and responsive to people.

My knee-jerk answer was something akin to “Why wouldn’t I be?” but I stopped and decided to think a bit deeper before I responded. After contemplating for a bit, I replied:

“Because we have a society built on idolization, and it shouldn’t be. We’re all humans. Celebrity is a man-made concept, and as such has little intrinsic value. Basically, I’m approachable because I truly believe that I’m no one special – I’m just someone who loves to write. Period. The last thing I want is someone looking up to me or turning me into some sort of metahuman. Be your own role-model. If I’m not part of the solution, I’m indubitably part of the problem, ya know? 😊”

She apparently liked my answer. I’m glad. It was the truth.

Anyway, I’m going to bed early, loves.

I’ll see all of you in the morning.

Thank you for reading. 💖

Such a strange day. Woke up at 3AM and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I decided to write – which I ended up doing for almost 12 hours. I completely outlined Voyeur Season 2 Episode 2, heavily dented three different projects under various pen names (you Patreon motherfuckers get ready) and submitted Interview With A Werewolf to Amazon for September 1st preorder. Once (if) Amazon approves it I’ll give you guys the link.

Professionally it was a productive day.

Personally, not so much. Maybe it was my lack of sleep, but I got into a screaming match with my big brother, and the sad part is I knew I was in the wrong even as I was in the middle of screaming, but I couldn’t just stop myself from being stupid because the momentum had been set and my mouth refused to quit moving. Have you ever had that happen to you? Honestly, I’m surprised he didn’t just slap me unconscious. I kind of deserved it.

And then I ended up getting into a fight with Anne several hours later that was again wholly my fault. It didn’t start out that way, but I sure accelerated the shit out of it and kept it going.

Sigh. I guess it was a diva day for me. I have them every once in a while. Fortunately, not very often.

My solution to this: get drunk, play a quest in Skyrim, and write some more. Cause fuck sleep. Anne’s at the store right now getting us beer as I write this.

You only live once, right?
