intermission

i'm feeling better
I'm finally starting to shake whatever bug this is that has kept me down for the past few days. People with communicable bugs and diseases should not come to work. I caught this from someone at work. Next time, keep your tail at home.

and i found the inspiration i was looking for
I dug out some old journals and thumbed through them this week. I was looking for details with which to fill up my story. As I read through notebooks that have held my words since the year 2000, I was amazed at the wealth of notes I've taken on my life.

There were some incidents in my past that I had forgotten about, but reading through the old journals made me remember them vividly. The details I used to describe events made them as fresh in my mind as if they had happened the day before.

I'm enjoying this storytelling adventure. The names, locations and some minor details have been changed to protect the not so innocent but all these adventures come from my life. For the longest time I thought my muse was dead. Then I found her, in my closet in notebooks that have tape around the binding to keep them together.

the story will continue
I appreciate all the positive feedback I've been getting on "Adult Conversation". The next parts of the story are being worked on, so stay tuned. I hadn't initially intended for this to be an ongoing saga, but since it's well-received and I am having a lot of fun doing it (not to mention my writing practice is a breeze these days!) I am going to keep at it. Part 3 will be coming soon. In the meantime you can catch up by reading Parts One and Two or the interlude "Relax" to get a feel for what's going on. I feel like I'm working on a television series or something. The problem I'm having now? Deciding which part of the story to let people read next.

the weekend
This weekend is the Silver Dollar Classic. You know what that means. Negroes! We are going to be out and all up in it. I'll see you guys on Monday.
