It’s Wednesday.\u00a0 It’s my duly-designated day to write.\u00a0 I don’t see clients today.\u00a0 I typically won’t run errands today.\u00a0 Just write.\u00a0 Seeing how I’m now relying on the royalties I receive as a way to pay the bills, I figured it was the least I could do so that I can continue to release stories in a timely manner.<\/p>\n
What’s holding me up today, you might ask?\u00a0 Writer’s block?<\/em>\u00a0 Nope.\u00a0 Sick dog?<\/em>\u00a0 Nope, although it’s happened before.\u00a0\u00a0 Ate too much?<\/em>\u00a0 Aha!\u00a0 Therein lies the problem.\u00a0 Damn Chinese food.\u00a0 That all-you-can eat restaurant certainly didn’t make their money on me today.\u00a0 It was the first time my mother and I visited that restaurant, so clearly I had to try a little of everything, right?\u00a0 Well, I’m paying for it now.\u00a0 I want to curl up into a ball and take a nap.\u00a0 However, my wife is working and I\u00a0believe in equality.\u00a0 She works, I work.\u00a0 Since I won’t take clients today, that means I write.<\/p>\n I know what you’re thinking.\u00a0 Suck it up, take your punishment, and get back to work!\u00a0 Yeah, yeah, yeah.\u00a0 Easier said than done.\u00a0 It’s gorgeous outside!\u00a0 70 degrees!\u00a0 I’d much rather be insde.\u00a0 I can’t wait for it to get dark again and I can play with my telescope.<\/p>\n Now wait.\u00a0 Before\u00a0you jump to the wrong conclusions,\u00a0and I have to tell you to pick\u00a0your mind up out of the gutter, I want to say that I meant that literally.\u00a0 I have an 8″ Schmidt-Cassegrain Meade telescope that I can control wirelessly from my iPad.\u00a0 It’s awesome!\u00a0 I\u00a0have an astronomy app that shows me what the sky looks like from my location (I input my lattitude\/longitude), and my wife bought me the wifi adapter that plugs into my telescope, and then my iPad connects to it wirelessly.\u00a0 It’s a lot of fun.<\/p>\n But, it’s a toy.\u00a0 I have work to do.\u00a0 I am really enjoying how this story is developing.\u00a0 My wife is pointing out flaws in previous chapters (which I’ve corrected), so hopefully when I get ready to give the story to the editor it won’t come back to me resembling swiss cheese.\u00a0 I guess what I mean to say is, I really love writing.\u00a0 I might not be the best at it, but I sure as hell will strive to be better.\u00a0 That’s why I tell everyone who reads my stories that if you find something that is wrong, or else you didn’t like something (concept or execution), let me know and I’ll see what I can do!\u00a0 The fans are what makes this possible and I enjoy interacting with you guys!<\/p>\n Kendall, just wanted to say that not only is Athos armed with a crossbow, he is also\u00a0armed with a dragon-shaped collapsible boomerang he keeps strapped to his left forearm!<\/p>\n J.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s Wednesday.\u00a0 It’s my duly-designated day to write.\u00a0 I don’t see clients today.\u00a0 I typically won’t run errands today.\u00a0 Just write.\u00a0 Seeing how I’m now relying on the royalties I receive as a way to pay the bills, I figured it was the least I could do so that I can continue to release stories […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1,70,74],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.authorjmpoole.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.authorjmpoole.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.authorjmpoole.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.authorjmpoole.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.authorjmpoole.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=815"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.authorjmpoole.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":817,"href":"http:\/\/www.authorjmpoole.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815\/revisions\/817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.authorjmpoole.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.authorjmpoole.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.authorjmpoole.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
