September

I must say that I really enjoy these new Microsoft commercials with Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates.  My Dad told me about the one in the shoestore, and I've seen it a few times.  Then tonight I saw two new ones while watching [adult swim] where the duo stays with a random family.  I dunno what these commercials will lead to, but whatever it is, I'm excited.  And I think they are way better than the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" commercials (though ironically I am writing this on a Mac).

I have been working on stories recently, and am hoping to start submitting one story to a magazine every two weeks.  I do not plan on publishing stories here: I had been working on an old story that I wanted to publish on this blog, but then I decided it had potential (and the title happens to be "Potential") and I submitted it a few days ago.  However, if there is a story that just can't seem to please any editors, but that I feel really strongly about, I may put such a story up here; or any sort of flash fiction, like the two stories I have already put up here ("Fifty Two" and "Sodium and Tempura").

I have tried to put more structure into these blog posts over the past few months, but I have found it has led to less postings, since I must structure them before submitting.  I feel that I may move away from this, and turn this blog into more personal ramblings, such as this current post which I am writing while half awake at 2 AM.  I spend a lot of time structuring and editing stories to try and perfect them, so why do that as well here?  Instead, I hope that this new format, based on my own format, may lead to an increase in posts, and them possibly an increase in fanbase.  But either way, the main person to please is me, since I am, afterall, the one writing all this.  So, good night, and good day.
