GlennM's Journal, 28 March 2011

There is SO MUCH information to add to the book (the western). I have lots of stuff, enough information to add, I will change it to a better ending too. I MUST get the query letters out too for book 1 in April. The weather is frigid, probably the coldest March I can ever remember - like two days it was a little warm. I will watch the basketball playoffs but need to cut out the TV watching to get more done. Diet Cherry 7 Up is surprisingly good, better than most diet sodas. Anyway, it's off to highlighting everything that can and will go into the western. It's too cold to go for a long walk... 

Hi Glenn, I know what you mean about it being a cold March. Have fun with your writting....Enjoy your basketball play offs......Bren 

Thanks Bren - I think it is best for me NOT to go back to college even part-time at night as I would be spending so much time studying that it would take me away from my writing. I have lots of research to go through, I have dozens of pages to highlight with markers and will hopefully have that done some time tomorrow. The trees haven't even begun to bud here yet it has been so cold. Thanks for checking in, I'll get on buddies' journals tonight hopefully... 

Hi again Glenn, we had 3 inches of snow and now its about gone. But it is to get to 22 degrees tonight. Ouch!!! I am hoping after this week it really starts to warm up. If those cold fronts would not show up any more.. Hahahah... Oh I named one calf Elvis one year as he had that hair doo. People laughed at me but they could tell why he was called that. Have a great evening buddy......Bren  

That is a funny name for a calf. He should get along well with lots of the female calves if his name tells anything. I am a bit tired, I just took the dog out and do it many times a day and it is freakin' freezing out with a wind, and we're supposed to get a storm on April 1st, I'm hoping it is no more snow. I am ready to move to the Caribbean if I can someday. I saw a guy last week interestingly enough walking downtown with very thick hair and big sideburns and he looked fifty years from the past. Have a great evening Bren and everyone else. I will try to get on journals later... 

I did it - went through dozens of pages regarding the Wild West and the wagon train trip west for my western book to make it more realistic. I learned a lot tonight like if I had been in college for two weeks studying it or something. I found so much to add to the book too that is truthful, some people kept diaries so it helps to make things a bit more realistic. (They didn't really ride on the wagons very often unless it was a sick person, child or a pregnant woman because of the dust - I already knew those guiding the animals wore bandannas. Oxen were more commonly used than horses too. Our movies have made what was real a bit more fake in reality of things. Well, I'm off to bed hope anyone reading this enjoyed a bit of history, something I usually did well in school with (when I applied myself). 

I need to start applying myself with the finding of an agent with the same enthusiasm I have for moving onto the next project or I'm not going to get anywhere. This week I will put the western down and focus on getting the letters ready to send out in the upcoming next few weeks. Thanks all that have encouraged me. Off to bed for now, all the papers are highlighted for working on the western AFTER the letters to the literary agents get sent out. I went to a fork in the road and need to get back on the fastest roadway to getting published as soon as I can. Anyway, dieting going well. I need to find a writer's site to talk about all this stuff on and not bore anyone here with it...
