I Must Be the Most Manic Fucking Writer

These last few weeks, I've had the writing blahs.  Mostly, I think I've been tired, so I have been sneaking in writing time whenever I can, so I don't go crazy from wanting to write. 

Yesterday, I talked cover concepts with my friend Brett.  Today, I actually spent a few hours going over my short stories, and then I grew a pair of balls and asked my friend Todd Heldt to read "El Encantado".  Now, Todd is a fucking amazing writer.  His book Jukebox Loser tells me so.  Also, I know he will tell me if he thinks the story is garbage. 

In short, I am happy with the progress I made this evening.  I immersed myself in the writing like I wanted to.  I also have one more story to write, so enough of my self-analysis.

Stay tuned for a one day giveaway of a story my friends pick for Halloween!

Immerse yourself in your writing, preferably with a glass of wine.  #barrioblues

I immerse myself in my writing with a whole bottle of wine...at eight in the morning.

Does it work? LMAO! You're a trip. Oy, I finally got some amazeball comments! I will have to go over them later because I want to know once more out. I had three small glasses of wine.
