Quinn Chapman and the Altar of Evil I

Quinn Chapman and the Altar of Evil The flames of Hades flickered off the rough hewn walls of the cavern as I stumbled my way deeper into the earthen maw. Acrid, black smoke invaded my eyes, blurring my vision and clouding my lungs. Dark voices shouted in a rhythmic chant somewhere beyond the hall of fire through which I now walked. My body was cut and bruised; my clothes turned to rags barely clinging to my sweat glistened flesh.  What maligned road led me to my current state of depravity? My mind flickered back to that fateful day in the warrens of Singapore, to one of the myriad of seedy opium dens lining the alleys. It was there that I found the remnants of the infamous Anglo explorer Sir Percival Covington.  I pushed back the shoddy veil of the curtain to find Sir Percival upon his back, clad in sweat-stained khaki and a weeks' worth of grime. So much for the hero of the British Empire. His glazed eyes alighted upon me, and a flicker of recognition danced across his ...

State of the Union

 STATE of the UNION

The American flag waving in the sun.


No. Not that one. 

This is the State of MY Union, aka my writing situation. 

Ultimately it is not so different than the last one I did. BUT there is good news! I actually have a better idea of my ending and I typed a couple pages towards that ending. In so doing, I discovered numerous things that I need to go back and adjust. 

Writing has a way of revealing your errors or omissions.

Progress is still slow. I don't know if I will ever be a "fast" writer. It does not seem likely.

I am facing the same issues and a few new ones. Will they ever change?

First, I need to edit and add things to my draft, but it is on my computer. I am finding it extremely difficult to come home and stare at the screen after 8hrs staring at a screen. Work has also be busier than normal, so I am mentally wiped out when I get back to my fortress of solitude. 

Then comes the procrastination. I talked about that before. On the positive side of that, my laundry is done, apartment clean, Jeep washed, and I am earning my gym membership.

Another issues I have dealt with, apparently, is chronic under-eating. I have not been feeding myself nearly enough based on my body weight, muscle mass, and physical activity. Who knew that would lead to the inability to lose weight (which really effed with my body dysmorphia and confidence), fatigue, increased anxiety (this is really bad since I already suffer from it, so I was making it worse), poor sleep, brain fog, lack of ambition, and muscle weakness. 

On top of that it is allergy season in southern Louisiana.

In essence, I have felt like hot garbage. I mean rancid hot garbage. 

Good GOD I have issues.

Fortunately, I am changeable and have started a new and improved diet with immediate effects. I am more awake and alert. My fatigue and muscle weakness is gone so my gym workout have improved drastically. I started to sleep again as well! The weather is beautiful, and I am finding motivation again.

F@ck yeah Friday! I'm back!

Time to wreck this draft straight into number 2!

Man jumping into the air to celebrate.

Idk who this is, but that is how I feel right now.
