Blogger and Tumblr don't work well together...

(originally published 3 weeks ago, but Tumblr stopped redirecting the feed to the site. Oops.)

So…I’m writing a book.

I know that sounds odd but it is true.

I have several friends that work for some publishing companies and I recently skyped with a friend in NYU who works for (message redacted). Pretty cool huh? She works for (message redacted) of all places! It turns out that they are looking to publish books for free, giving them releases online and select books will even see hardcover releases as well. It was a lot to take in, but we determined that my next year on this Earth will be a good topic for a book.

Y’see, I hate my birthday. I don’t like celebrating it. I’m not a fan of getting older. I’m sure there’s alot of unexplained psychological reasons for this, maybe some Peter Pan complex, but it is something I really can’t come to terms with…until now. I decided that I was going to make my next year on this Earth a life changing one. I’m going to say “yes” more often. I’m going to try new things and learn about subjects I was too timid to introduce myself to before. I’m learning solfege now, and have guitar lessons on my plate as well. I’ve going to be furthering my theatre training and taking classes at iO soon. I’m going to throw myself into situations with such helpless abandon you’d think I was possessed by some unruly force.

I’ve been practicing this way of thinking for the last 7 days and I’ve been very successful with my experiences. To support this idea, I’ve said “yes” to the book thing. So we’ll see what happens.

Whelp, here goes.
