Okay.. so the writing...

Yes, I can still post about my writing, can't I?

First off, it's kind of hard to make the time to do it! I keep feeling like there's a way that I could be managing my time better. Discipline, it seems, does not spring spontaneously from my, or anyone's, forehead.

This is unfortunate.

But I simply have to find a way to get all of my writing going steadily, while at the same time making full-time income. Perhaps I have too many irons in the fire?

In any case, what I have been spending the majority of my time on has been these two main areas:

This is my political blog. I'm trying to do it without left or right bias, but I think I'm failing at that so far... Is it that there's nothing useful being said or done by the left at this point? I find that hard to believe; there are plenty of intelligent, well-meaning and effective people on that side of the aisle.

The other thing I spend my time on is this one:
www.wexlfinancial.com

If you follow the link and look for the ticker at the bottom right, you can see how much we've saved clients. Well over 120 million at this point. It's a real feel-good thing that actually acts as my day job.

Other than that, I'm trying to carve out time to devote to Helium.com.... as I don't want to get lost as they start to take even more flight. That site is going to change the online publishing world as we know it.

I have to run now.. got phone calls to make.

Don't worry, I'm still going to keep at the writing... heavily. I've got stories aching to be told. I just have to learn how to do fiction better.

Up for 39 hours

and not going very strong at this point.

I've been keeping up with the feedback from the client in Korea. I get paid when the project is done, so I have a vested interest in moving the project forward.

I also did work at WeXL today, for the morning time.

We attended a blue and gold banquet tonight for our oldest, Thomas. It was fun; our first.

Tomorrow's plan:
Start my day by exercising.
1) At WeXL in the AM. Prospecting by phone and by going to business parks.
2) Home for lunch probably, or soon thereafter.
3) Bang an article together-- at least the rough draft, for Maximum Yield magazine.
4) Spend time keeping up with the project for my Korean client.
5) Do some Helium administrative stuff.
6) Check out the Ensign, Liahona, and New Era's editorial calendar. Outline an article based on what I find.
7) Add more to my brainstorm for my America essay.
8) Go to the bank.
9) Do a creative writing experiment: characterization.

And that is all. It ain't much, but I'll probably be fighting sleep all day.

Speaking of sleep, that's what I gots to do now. Good night moon.

Some changes and links

Hello all
I've added a couple features to my blog. Now you can subscribe to this blog, and I've also got a blog roll going.

Here are a couple links I wanted to share:

http://www.helium.com/marketplace?placement=CL45690

The first here is one that I've shared before. It'll take you to Helium.com's marketplace, where you can find some article titles posted by actual publishers who need work done. May the best article win!

And here's a link to the company I'm working at. This will actually take you to my portal:

http://jaredgarrett.wexlfinancial.com/

Check it out. Let me know what you think of these folks. I'm pretty much blown away.

And that's all for now. I will report on writing later tonight or early tomorrow.

carpe somnium!
