Oh yes, the struggle is real.

I have been working on my Married story, and I have written a second version of their wedding, now I don't know which version to publish. I suppose I could publish both version and let you all decide which one you like, but I just don't know.

I guess I have seen too many romantic comedies in my lifetime. Which reminds me, Tom Hanks in "You've Got Mail" is a good movie. I don't care what Rotten Tomatoes says about.

Back to writing seeing where my story takes me.

One more thing. I received a email comment from a reader that I would like to address. The email called into question my lead's desire to live in a tiny house. My thinking was that if a person was going to change their lives, really change how they acted and thought about their life, they needed to change their environment. Which includes where they live. This character was living in what many would call the lap of luxury with every known entertainment experience available to him. He had food a plenty. He had his parents who let him do whatever he wanted without restriction. Once his dad talked to him and verbally kicked his butt, he changed. He changed what he did with his time and how he lived. It is my thinking that he built his own tiny home so that the change would be real and tangible. Put everything aside and be a show the world that you are a real man, not a man-child.

Take care I will get the next part of Married posted.

For whatever reason, I watch "Married at First Sight." I know, I know, what is a man like me doing watching a sappy drama like that? Well, I find it very interesting from a sociological stand point and how modern people handle something that has been done for thousands of years. Arranged marriages have been the norm for people throughout Europe, Asia, India and even parts of Africa. Now they take what has been the norm and apply it to people who believe that you only get married if you are 'in love.'

So I took that idea from the show and I am currently trying to write a short story with my own couple I created. The beginning third is done and I find it interesting, now all I have to do is finish the next two thirds and get it published. Maybe it will be interesting, maybe it will suck the air out of the room and kill everyone. We won't really know until it sees the light of day. We shall see.

More later.

I've gotten a couple of people to give me positive feedback about the continued story of Paul and Ashlee. Chapter 2 has been submitted for posting so I hope that this one is just as good.

This past weekend someone, who shall remain nameless, emailed me saying I should finish "Jack's Gift". He accused me of being a hack.

I don't like being called names. It does no good to call someone a name. It doesn't accomplish anything and in the end it creates rifts between people. I won't do it and I don't like it.

The only thing this person did was to remind me that my story has been left sitting around waiting to see the light of day and to spur me to finish it. Well, "Jack's Gift" is not done per se. I have spent many hours working on the beginning and the middle leaving only the ending hanging in the wind.

So far, I have edited the beginning making it a bit more interesting and considering I was probably drunk at the time, hopefully it isn't too badly put together.

Here is a repost of chapter 1 for your pleasure.

Chapter 2 later this week and so forth.

To the person who wrote me and called me a name, thank you for caring so much about my writings that you took the time to write to me and urge me to finish the story. Be Well and Live Long and Prosper.

I was thinking while at work today about a story that I read some time ago, "A Better World" was the title. Link: http://storiesonline.net/s/43540/a-better-world

Now I thought this story was interesting considering what a sci-fi buff I am, and the idea of how would an anthropologist look at the change in our society with the introduction of the WE into our society. What would that anthropologist talk about? What would he notice and document in our society? Well, I'm no anthropologist but I could play one on the internet. Ha Ha Ha

Anyway, one of the other issues is that I don't own this story, can I add to the "world" by righting something in that world without author permission? I don't know, which is one of the reasons I'm writing this post. I would look at it as fan fiction but I'm not sure. Anyone reading this know how to proceed? Please let me know before I waste time with a far fetched idea. Thank you.

Oh, you might want to read the story to fully understand what I'm thinking about.
