A Post, Post

Sometimes, especially lately, I feel like I have gone through my book so many times, I just have to let it be "as it."

However, in spite of this, I still feel compelled to proofread it one more time before I print a proof and then I will proofread it, and proofread it again (and all right in a row) and this will be my final effort before I publish in October.

My goals are to improve the language and eliminate the typos.  I want every word to be what I intended, whether it makes sense or not.  It's a lot easier to justify something that I planned than to explain a typo -- which seems like it should be a whole lot easier of a problem to fix.  HA!

The next novel I am in the process of brainstorming and fully planning out.  I expect to be started writing officially soon.

This, of course, is all in addition to my thesis, which I really have to get started on researching.  I just don't want my summer to be over yet.  I have to give myself the right amount of time, so I don't go crAZY!!!!

Then again, that was probably too late a long time ago.  Oh well.  What the fuck ever.

A Note About Survival Pilot

As I am sure you are well-aware of by now, I have this music-recording thing I have been doing -- the latest incarnation of which is currently called Survival Pilot.  I am currently recording an album, newly entitled Goodbye Melancholia, and am releasing each song upon completion -- instead of the traditional route of releasing everything at once.  This gives people a chance to be in on the creative process (and it will keep me on my toes).

Anyways, the results of the recording I have been doing are turning out rather well (if I do say-so myself).  The latest (fourth) single to be released is called "Goodbye", and I encourage you to go to My Soundclick Page and check it out.  After a few days to get the vocals right, I have released it -- and am very happy with the results.

As I am poor and being forced to be creative on the fly, I have to use what I have available.  This is why I am using for my album art this image --

 -- which is a cell phone picture of the visualizations on Windows Media Player (and which I edited with the very basic photo-editing software I have on my computer).

All of Survival Pilot's music is also available for free download -- if you are interested.
