I’m really frustrated with WA. I need to add images to my home page. Nevertheless, I can’t access it to add to. It’s just been one thing after another. When will they learn? There are five levels. Each level has ten lessons. I’m stuck on lesson four of level two! It’s been this way for over a month. They won’t get back to me. I understand they have other issues to address, but this is ridiculous. I paid good money for this program.
I had two cups of coffee today – not something I do very often. lol. Chad lost his USB stick on the bus. He was very upset about it. Apparently, he had lots of stuff on it. Poor guy.
My bro got back to me last night. It was later at night when he did. He was about to hit the sack and said to get back to him today. I just now called him back but I got his voice mail.
Well, site support got back to me. I inadvertently, made my latest post page my home page. I need my bro to help me fix it.
Well, my ride is coming soon. Goodnight.

While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption. By whom a person is overcome. By also he is brought into bondage.

I added the last sentence I just got down. lol.
Ann got back to me two nights ago. She pretty much said “I’m busy. Take care.” How sad; she doesn’t seem to want my friendship. Oh well. I’m not bitter. I have some bitterness against other people, specifically those at church. But I won’t get into that.
I feel tired. I don’t know why. I bought beef franks for dinner. It’s healthier than the pizza I was going to have. lol. I got some coffee from the store as well. I was completely out of it. I actually had eggs and bacon for breakfast with salsa. It beats fast food any day. I do like Carl’s Junior though. But there is not a location anywhere close to my house.
It seems there is just one issue after another with WA. Now I’m dealing with how to put pics in my pages. I know how to put them into posts but not pages. I only have my home page and the privacy policy page.
Well, I’m tuckered out Goodbye.

This will be brief as I just wrote for an hour. I’m a little tuckered out. lol.
The day began well. I got up at about 10 A.M. I had my quiet time and some coffee. It was a nice period.

While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves to corruption.


That’s all I have down.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the spirit of God dwells on you. If Christ is in you the body is dead because of sin but alive to righteousness. If that same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then shall give life to your mortal bodies by the Spirit that dwells in you.

For we once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air. Which now works in the spirit of the sons of disobedience.

We got the bedding delivered to our front door. The main part was a foam spread. Then there was a top piece. Jim helped me to put it on before he left for his second job at Albertson’s. He’s working until 8 P.M. tonight.
I messed around on WA trying to figure things out. I learned about using menus and widgets with pages and posts. I still need to put graphics on my home page. I’ll check out how to do that next. My site is bare boned except for two pictures on one post.
Jim was late today to work. Thank God I was up to get him up or he would have been super late.
Well, I’m beat, Goodnight.

Wow! It’s been a while! I need to get back in the game. I just started my fourth Thrice Prompted story. It looks like it has a great beginning I think. I read three chapters out of Paradise War. I stopped at near the end of the fourth chapter I read. It is getting good. The fantasy world has finally been introduced. The protagonist has stepped into the Otherworld – a place of magnificent wonder and primal beauty. Upon arriving, he meets his friend Simon who had stepped into the Otherworld before him. Lewis, the protagonist, is in the middle of a battle of warriors that appear god-like in their persona and build. That is where I stopped. lol.
So Wealthy Affiliate is coming along slowly in light of the fact that I must keep up with my reading and writing. My goal is to do at least an hour of both. My goal for WA is to do at least 6+ hours a day on it.
Lonnie the handyman put in the diming lights over the cupboards. He had to do take out the entire dishwasher to do the wiring. Apparently, the owners did it wrong. Anyway that took about an hour I’d say. Next, Lonnie will be doing more lighting in the dining room. It looks nice in the kitchen. Our remote is giving us problems. Sometimes it works others it doesn’t. lol. It could be the battery.
Jim is at work now. I don’t know when he gets off – probably around 8:30 P.M.
So there was no group text saying where the C&C would go out to eat. So Ted, myself and this other guy who’s name I forgot went to Taco Bell. It was nice chatting with those two. I got what I usually get – XX burrito and a taco.
So back to WA, I want add pics to my home page as well as tabs. But I don’t know how to do that. I hope the training will show me that process. I’m still excited. I have to get my but in gear so I have time to do WA stuff and my writing.

While they promise liberty, they themselves are slaves to corruption.

That’s all I can recall of my next verse to memorize.
For we once walked according to the course of the world, according to the prince of the prince of the power of the air – the spirit that now works in the sons of disobedience.

For He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.

Those two I got down; they’re short. lol.
My mom watched me play DBFZ. This one guy was wiping the floor with me. Then this other dude was a lot easier. I played for about 45 minutes. I had fun. lol.
Well, that is for now. Goodbye.

Well I just got to the lesson that discusses how to put pictures into posts. I’ve yet to put one in a post. I will be discussing heavenly/angel art. I have downloaded a pic from Wikimedia, one of the free image sites given in the tutorial video. I am quite excited about putting in pics to decorate my post. I have a general idea of what I want it to look like. Kyle gave a list of free pic sites too.
I hit the PS4 for about 25 minutes. I was losing. lol. So I stopped.
I read for an hour and got through three chapters. That’s a big difference compared to Peretti. lol. I remember some parts of the book from the first time I read it. Lawhead knows how to create atmosphere. I love it. It’s mystical and surreal.
There was a glitch with one of the plugins on WA; it failed to update. I got a hold of site support for the problem. Then I tried updating it again and it worked.
I posted my second article today. It was on art that is on sale at different sites. The article was about 700 words. I put in a very good key phrase: canvas oil paintings sale. It had a very low QSR and high traffic and monthly clicks. I also read a four page article called something like “the buying cycle.” It was very informative and gave knowledge about how to use what is being advertised on TV and magazines to my advantage. It also touched on narrowing down search words and phrases.
It was snowing last night at church – pretty well too. lol. It was snowing early in the morning when Jim was getting ready for work. Chad called me and left a message; wake up and look at the snow. I didn’t listen to it until later. He was at Walgreens concerning his job there I believe when I called him back.
I had my old favorite pizza: arugula. I ate the whole thing. lol. It wasn’t a normal size one. It was a personal size. Jim is at work now. I don’t know when he gets off. I texted him asking if he wanted me to put a pizza in for him but he said no.
I’m a lot more hopeful about my book being published by Electio Publishing. I will inquire about my book after 90 days. If it is rejected I will send it to a copy editor. Then I’ll try another Christian publisher called Dove Publishing. They require authors to have their works copy edited.
Well, that’s it for now. Goodnight.

This may be brief as it is almost 7 P.M.
The day started out nice. My mom woke me up at about 9:30 A.M. with a special treat – a poppy seed muffin. I started my coffee and began my quiet time. My mom was reading her Bible as well. I read out of the book of Genesis. It was about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Lot’s family escaping.
I was able to squeeze an hour of writing time. (= Soon afterwards we went to drop of our dog Nimue to the groomers. Then it was off to the dentist office. My friend Giovanni were texting up until the point that my mom and I arrived there. It was a short texting session. My phone was pretty low. After some snapshots of my teeth and face, my mom and I went to the store for some ingredients for spaghetti. It came out really nice.
I hit the PS4 for thirty minutes. I was kicking butt. lol.
By this time we had gotten Nimue. She was so cute with her little bow. Her bangs were cut so we could see her eyes and her cute face. She’s like a little black sheep. lol.
I’ve resolved to go on with the WA training vids. It’s been over a week and I have not gotten any assistance.
My mom went to CVS for some nail prongs. She was looking for wooden one but she saw a metal one instead. My mom and I saw George there. He grew a beard. It looks nice. We usually talk video games. He and I both only play DBFZ. He also foresaw how doomed MvCI was.
Well, it’s 7 P.M. Goodnight.

This will be short as my ride to church will be here soon.
I wrote for an hour today. I read for an hour too. Jim and my mom went to the doc’s office for Jim’s pain. He will be getting nerve blockage treatment. Hopefully it will do the trick. If not they will explore other avenues.
On another note, Jim and my mom will be going to Colorado for a week in the middle of April. Good for them. I don’t mind at all. lol. It will be quiet except for Nimue. She’ll be sleeping in my bed for the duration of time.
So it ends up that the TV did not just give out like I thought. Apparently, it just acts up from time to time. Jim fixed it.
I hit the PS4 for thirty minutes. I was doing well.
I successfully condensed my files into one continuous, chapter by chapter document. Then I submitted it to Electio Publishing. I submitted the same story to them.
Well, Chad is on the phone. Until tomorrow.

I haven’t written in a while and I just did so for over an hour. I was feeling a little baked but I took a quick trip to the store and that helped relax my mind. lol.
So I’m still waiting for tech support to assess my issue on WA. I stated my problem on the chat forum and I got some replies. One person said to wait another day. Some other dude said not to stop in my training. But I don’t want to skip a segment of the process. Nevertheless, I still must go on. Who knows when my issue will be addressed? Uhg. I even asked Carson, the technical dude and co-founder of WA. I’m getting impatient.
Apart from that thing, the weather is very rain for like three days. I love it unless I’m caught with it out on the streets. lol. There hasn’t been much thunder or lightning. There was a 40% chance of rain today. I hope it rains tomorrow too, he, he.
I need to supply my creative muse. That means to practice writing every day. I need to read more too. I’ve already picked out a book series I’ve read before called The Song of Albion by one of my favorite authors, Stephen R. Lawhead. My bro Josh likes him too. He suggests I read Brandon Sanderson, a prominent fantasy writer. He is not Christian though so I don’t know what I should expect.
My mom is having her stomach surgery on her stomach on the 26th. I hope that is the last surgery she has for her stomach pains. Before, it was gall stones and now this.
Well, I’m really tired, Goodbye.

I don’t have much time to type. My mom will be taking me to church soon.
I had my dentist appointment and got three cavities filled. It didn’t take long. The doc had to give me an extra shot of anesthetic. lol. It looks like I’ll be getting three molar extractions in preparation for my Invisiline treatment. Instead of the conventional teeth molding, they used a new 3D scanner to render a super accurate image of my mouth. What was really cool was this pic of what my teeth will look like when I have completed the treatment. My mom put a down payment of $1,000. I’ll be paying $2,500 which is half of the cost. The whole shebang should last a little over a year or less possibly. A good thing is that if I need more Invisiline at the end still, I get more trays with no additional cost.
I find I’m not as hyped as I was at the beginning with WA. Part of it is because I know I have to keep up with my writing. I want to spend like 8 hours a day on it, but I have to write too not to mention read.
I’m half way done with condensing my files of my chapters. I think I’ll have a much better chance at getting my story published. I’m excited already. I will have it copy edited soon. I still have to look up Christian editors first. That shouldn’t take too long. Before I do that I want to send it in to Electio Publishing. I will wait for the 90 day max wait until I send it in to be copy edited if my manuscript gets rejected by that publisher.
Well, Dan isn’t going to church and my mom is feeling unwell. I haven’t fellowshipped in two weeks. Well actually I do go to Most Excellent Way. I fellowship there. It’s good to hang with peers around my age though. I do just a bit of fellowship on Sunday mornings, mostly with my friend Jared.
It rained a bit on the way to the dentist office. I love the rain as long as I’m not stuck and exposed in it. lol. A few days ago I was walking to the gym and it began to rain. I had to turn back.
Well. that’s it for me.

Today has been good. I did some file adding of my chapters to my single file that now contains about half of my chapters. (= I found a new Christian publishing site called Enclave. It is strictly for sci-fi or fantasy. Unfortunately, the minimum word count is 75K. My fantasy book is about 56K words long. I will resubmit to Electio. This time, I’m doing it right. Now I might get published for real. lol. In my opinion, publishers get way too much of the pie when it comes to book royalties. One publisher has an 85% cut of the book sales. I think it would be advantageous of I got my manuscript copy edited by a professional. I don’t think it will cost overly much. I’m thinking of around one-thousand dollars. It varies with the length of the story.
It feels good to be in my true element. Writing is the best!
My stepdad is watching an ER type show like House. I forget what it’s called.
I’m going to have to do lots of research on art.
I did two anniversary reviews. Both of them were flash stories. One was in need of some work, the other was very good. I gave it five stars. It was very raw and gritty. It was about an insomniac on a balcony.
So I’m all caught up with WA as far as the training goes. I have a long way to go though. My new year’s resolution is to read and write every day. WA has gotten in the way, sad to say. I have to focus on my baby – writing. When I have condensed my files I will send it to an editor. I have a bad idea it needs a lot of work. lol. But maybe I’m wrong. Who knows? When I do finish condensing, I will send it as is to Electio.
Well, it’s past 7 PM. Goodnight.
