It'll be ok. I often dream about him. Usually I wake up screaming. At least I didn't last night.

I'll nibble on fruit with you. My dad is up so I think I had better get off the net for a while. He seems to be in one of his not so happy moods. =( No one can do anything right anymore which doesn't help with my depression.

I'm so sorry Presh, I sometimes wake up crying when I have those dreams. At least you didn't wake up screaming last night from your dream.

Sounds good Presh, you come hang with me.... I don't bite, but I'll probably not talk much. I'm sorry your dad isn't in a good mood. I know what it's like to feel like nothing you do is right, it sucks. I'm sorry that it makes your depression worse. Maybe I'll see you around later.

Yeah, I'm gonna pop in and out. While I'm out I'm going to work on "A Dimension of Tears" see if I can get past chapter 22. I'd like to see if I can get it published before the end of the year, like for my bday lol

That's be a pretty awesome bday present :)

It would too~! The only problem with it is I have NEVER written a novel before, only poetry, and I keep getting struck. Right now I'm on a house boat, one week in to a two week vacation on the Pacific Ocean and I'm running out of ideas of things to do on this little vacation.

Hmm...... Swim with dolphins, snorkeling/diving, go skiing/tubing on a ski boat that you have, sunbath/tan, fish..... That's about all I can think.

That reminded me of Bubba from Forrest Gump lol.

I caught a 150 pound salmon lol and then we cooked it and looked at scrap books (you have to read the book to understand the significance of that or I have to PM you) and likewise watched videos of my girls. I swam around the houseboat a couple of times and I spend a lot of time in the cabin or swimming in the pool on deck.

BTW I finished chapter 22 so now I'm on to chapter 23 which is a lot easier to write because it revolves around the family I left behind in the other dimension. More specifically my cousin Josh.

That sounds like fun, Presh. Is this the book you're hoping to get published by the end of the year?? If love to read it. Wait.... There's a pool in the deck of the boat??? That's awesome!

Glad you got through chapter 22. Chapter 23 sounds intense, but interesting..... Your cousin Josh is the only one who can go back and forth through the different demennsions, right?

Right. He is the only constant in the story. He can travel between the dimensions tho no one knows how and I have no intention of explaining it. lol

I think I'm going to go ahead and make it the pull between them because of the love they have for each other. Maybe that'll be the reason he can go between dimensions

Precious, I think it's fantastic that your book is being published!!
Super Congratulations!!

It's a dream I've had for 8 years and now it's becoming a reality and I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am!!! They are doing the illustration now. It's just the front cover so it shouldn't take long. I'm going to email them tomorrow and see where they are with that. The next book is the biggie. It's my first novel and I'm not only excited about it but I'm also super nervous. I've been working on it for like 4 months and I'm now on chapter 24 and I've never even given a novel a second thought. A lot of work has gone into it and I still have a long way to go. I'm afraid no one's going to like it. That goes for the poetry too tho. I'm afraid no one's going to like it.

LOL!!! Exciting isn't it?? I'm sitting on pins and needles just waiting for this to happen! It's the ray of sunshine in my sometimes depressing world. Sometimes when all I can do is cry I remember that I have something that I'm working towards and two kids that are relying on me to survive this depression.

Ditto with Sunny. And as for your poetry, the ones that you've shared with us, I loved. You write beautiful poetry, Presh.

Some is really dark tho. I don't dare share those for fear of triggering someone
