One of the things i struggle with as a writer is the process of proof reading and editing. Both when others are helping me, and when i try and do it myself. I know if you want to do quality work it is a vital part of the process, and yet i find myself being impatient. Yeve Eeffoc has been a WWW acquaintance who has been an incredible encouragement and help in this area. 
But, she has a life of her own and sometimes my stories get lost in the shuffle, etc. Well last week i finished up my commentary (from a Christian "samurai" perspective) of Miyamota Musashi's The Way of Walking Alone. I asked seven friends to give it a look over and get back to me if there is anything that needs to be corrected. It's been four and a half days! LOL See what i mean about not being very patient. One person is on vacation this week, four of them i "dropped" it on them, and the other two were aware i was sending it (and so did the one going on vacation), but like i said before... they all have lives. But i really am anxious to know what they think...

Over the weekend i finished a personal project. It was a small woodshed to store firewood for the winter. When i mean small, i mean that is only a 1/2 cord of wood in there. I am really happy with it...proud might be a better word. I built it with the scraps from the deck project, with the only additional materials needed were some lag screws and a sheet of plywood for the roof. It's a really simple project, and most anyone in the world can, and do, do much bigger and complex projects, so i am not really sure why i am so 'puffed up' over this.
The movie TRON is not due out for 4 months 27 days and 16 hours (as of when this blog post will post), and i am still really looking forward to it. I know it is just a movie, and i am not like a giddy school girl waiting for the Beatles to come, but i am also aware that there is a very good possibility that it is not going to be as good as the hype. But i am interested in a lot of the press releases and all. but i think that a lot of my facebook friends are thinking i am over doing it. But this is what i do... when i am interested in something i like to learn as much as i can, and even share it on facebook. I know the movie is also only going to be 90 minute movie, and i also know it is only a movie... so... am i doing something wrong? I did this with The Book of Eli, and The Hobbit Movie, and my interests in Shadowrun, Flair, MouseHunt, etc.... I think i am beginning to understand why people block me on facebook... I don't really care if people like what i like, i am not trying to make them like those things, i am not trying to annoy anyone, i am not trying to boast somehow... i am only trying to share my interests... i am just being... well... me. Is that wrong?
