I've been busy all day. Just now getting productive, though.
wrote for a couple of hours and sent out / prepared a few short stories for submission. If I get my fourth one out tonight then I'll be happy.

In other news, work quited down this afternoon.'
This morning was absolutly nuts [nuts], but this afternoon was good.
Which was nice, since the whole week was kind of crazy. 
We were able to joke around for a few and unwind.

In reated news, its supposed to rain all weekend, *again.*
seriously getting tired of this sh!t.
Gorgous all week.
Sunny, brisk. rained over night wed, but other wise clear all week.
Supposed to go camping with Jake and his scout troop Sat night. In the rain. They didn't want to cancel, since they haven't been able to get out for any hiking or camping, because of the on going rains.

And in my experience, albeit in a completely different field, working on spec is by far the most rewarding. now if I could just turn that spec into a guarantee then I'd be all set.
Have you thought about writing for an established publication? Does that appeal to you at all?

Actually, we may have talked about this before. Memory is failing me.

Every so often Leigha will see me speed-scroll past some pictures or something and it catches her attention. "What was that? That was awful fast." "Oh nothing. Just something Bryan posted." Problem solved.
Woo!

Depends on the publication and the terms. I'm not a prima donna here and demanding that I have creative freedom over my work; I'm just not at a point where I feel confident enough to take on an assignment. Otherwise, yeah, I'd do it, but I'd probably need a patient editor / mentor.

Closing a bit of the PCI gap eh? I missed Magnus when he was over here but I'm headed to Austin for work from the 8th to the 15th. Perhaps I'll run in to Kachoong. Next month? Could be possible... we may be busy that week though... Yeah, I'm headed down in a few days. It's gonna be a week full of putting names to faces, working and training. Not exactly a good time for all but I've never been to the "Hottest State" so I'm not gonna complain too much about a free ride. I don't even know what part of Texas you're in. Are you familiar with Austin? Any worthwhile bouldering near by? Sounds like a worthy journey... unfortuately it won't be too hot when you come down. I guess in Austin it may be ok round this time... perhaps a day or two in the 70's if you're lucky... or it could go the other way. We're about 4 hours drive West of Austin. I've heard there's bouldering at McKinney Falls... may want to check out erockonline.com for info. Never been there. There's lot of other places too I've heard... check out this guide. http://www.erockonline.com/pdf/TLBintroweb.pdf4 hours eh? Yeah, I doubt I'll be bumping in to you at the grocery store. Thanks for the link though, I'll give it a look and see what I can find. A lot will depend on the hours we work, I might end up just hitting a local gym. We just discussed going to Austin soon, but I think it won't be until later in the week of the 15th... oh well. You'd probably have more fun if you head down to the Green Belt with your harness and shoes and jump on someones rope. The gym in Austin is teh suck IMO!
Hmmm. The problem is, I'm pretty much working during daylight hours and flights are already booked so staying thru the weekend isn't an option. Perhaps I'll just make do with exploring the city and save the climbing for a more opportune time.
