Hello everyone, this is Refried. It is 11:30 am on Saturday, Sept 6. I really like the month of September. It is one of my favorite months. Really October is my favorite but I like September too and it is nice because you haven't spent October yet. It is still in the future.

So okay. I just deleted my two spare websites. I kept them as extra for several years in order to help secure my pen name, be backup, and improve my googl-ability. I am okay with it. In the end, it was rather costly but I feel good about saving the money right this instant. The next payment would be in October. I might need to stop paying for the domains but I think it is okay. I bought the domain called refriedbean.com for three thousand dollars after the price dropped from about 26 thousand. So that worked out great. I think I made the offer and the people investigated who I was and charged a price I could afford.

Last night I watched part of the movie called 9 to 5. It was interesting. The part where Jane Fonda imagined shooting the boss was somewhat dramatic and kind of to me was like this scene where she was suddenly a true hollywood star instead of her shy character in the movie. So I have to think about that a little because I think what she did about Vietnam was very bad. Just imagine those 18 year olds going to the jungle and then she poses behind enemy guns. I mean maybe it is bad for me to mention it and bring up someone's past but I just think I am in the camp with my dad on that one.  He wrote me a note excusing me from aerobics for my 8th grade gym class when they used her videos.  That is awesome. I mean that is the best dad thing anyone has ever done.  

So anyway I think I will take a walk today. Maybe near the hospitals. Tomorrow I go to church and do not have to leave early because critique group is not until Sept 14.  Well have a good day everyone.

 Hello everyone, this is Refried. It is Thursday, Sept 4. I just went to my mental health program and it as really fun and they had breaded chicken for lunch. That is my favorite. When I was waiting in line I said if it is not breaded chicken they will need to take me to the hospital.

I saw the next agent to query. The one I just did was a very good option so I could hear back from that one. I am not rushing it with the next one. I don't really know what to say in my query but I think it will be the mice books that I tell her about.

My mouse father has been sharing parenting videos and he just told his viewers that I lost 80 points because of some bad behavior. And that is true but I usually end up doing well and apologizing.

I think I will soon have another cup of coffee. I saw a video online of someone thankful for their attention and following.  And it really makes me happy.  And I don't need to convince everyone that facebook is from my prayers.  But it could be funny someday to say that in regards to Mark Zuckerberg like to try to publicly take credit for it instead of him.

I need to gather some info for the PHP application. I think I might need to call Jorges Alvarado and ask them for some paperwork.

Well have a good day everyone.

 Hello everyone. It is 5:45. I looked at the publishers list. I saw an email address for someone. I was like, do people just email this person? Then I saw that it has to be an agent. I could tell her I am self-agented.

Pretty funny. 

I think I should start mailing some books, like maybe package a few packages and then get the addresses.

Well, soon I am going to my online group.

Have a good day everyone.

 Hello everyone, this is Refried. It is 5:15. I jsut posted two other posts. I wonder if I will start writing again.  Maybe I will write some poems. Maybe I will think of some rhymes.  Do I need to be sending more queries? I do not know. I think that would be a good thing to do right now is look through the books and the CWI directory. What does it all mean? I do not know.

Should I try to mail out all the books I have in my room? Maybe go through the names in my facebook again? I just don't know if anyone wants any of the books.  And what about the hospital people?  They did not get a book.  Dr. Halpern, Dr. Johnson, Dr. Griebe, Dr. Levin, Luis Falgundes, Alex De Silva, and the edema people. 

Do they want a joke book? Well I do not know.

Ok I just saw the missing christian market book.  It was under my computer. Well I will look for some more agents and publishers for a while.

Have a good day everyone.

 Hello everyone. I watched another Sept 11 video.  The national geographic series is excellent. Wow, this video had a section about flight 93 and a mom who left a message telling her son to overpower the terrorists. 

I just took my medicine. I ate some sauce and some corn chex. Hopefully that was enough food. Maybe I will also eat a snack size butterfinger.

I can stay up however late because I think we don't have program tomorrow. Maybe I will go buy some sour cream and make the corn casserole.

This was a good facebook share and I am so grateful to the nice people.  And it is probably going to be a cool mil, which I did not expect at first.

It is a more loving feeling for the God loves you posts.  So maybe I will do some more. I still think the Jesus died for your sins memes are good. There is a different feeling sometimes from that, but I believe it is good for people to be familiar with that if not try to understand it.

I can feel some of it now, how it has the bloody cross element which offends. And the gallstone that can't be removed without a sacrifice.  It is the reason christianity isn't necessarily easy to share. 

But anyway these posts are easier. How is my face doing.  It will be mostly back to normal tomorrow.  But not a great normal but an okay normal. It is not that big of a deal. I think it has been worse with the medicine.

Now how do we all feel about the query. I do not know.  I felt a slight depression feeling but that could be from successful youth ministry which for me is opposed by depression. When I saw the website I did like the people and it is only three people. But was I supposed to do a novel? I do not know.

I think my actual email was not very good. I had some awkward wording that could make them think I can't write.  But maybe it is good for them to know that they are dealing with a post career writer.

But maybe they will examine it and see that it does make sense and is grammatically correct despite wordiness. Anyway maybe they are reading this blog.

I am still a little shaken up by that racist security person yesterday. It is just a bad combo of people banging on the door, no obvious intervention from guards, and the awareness of bad cops in the neighborhood.  And now a gang that might have already sent me a personal message on the sidewalk with fresh barbecue sauce.  I mean I do not know. I just am not scared of the gang but am worried about the cops. So then I have to think about whether I can move to Greenville and that is another scene of torture.

Anyway I am still writing this even though maybe it is time to go to sleep. Well have a good day everyone.

 Hello everyone, this is Refried. It is Monday, Sept 1. I really like Sept 1 and always feel the fall season arrive on that day. Right now it is 5 pm. I did not do much today but it was a mostly nice day. I sent a second query and felt good about it but got an instant discouraging reply. But really I don't know how things will go, so maybe I could even do a few more in the next day or so. Honestly I don't even know if anything would be hinging on it. Because why haven't the books already sold?

I just flipped through my hokey jokester book and pinnacle of human folly. I could feel that my attention span is still damaged by medicine but much better than it was. I am staying inside too much and need to get more exercise. I think one way to do that is to mail more books out.  So maybe I can look up facebook friends and see if they want books mailed to them. I mean there could be ten more people right now who would be so happy. But I don't know.  It could be that the book giving phase is finishing up. 

Anyway I think at 6 pm I will go to a Nami group.  I hope it is meeting. I wonder if I should take art classes or something. Well I do not know. Maybe do the Pratt certificate.

But I think I am going to be in PHP soon. I hope that works out. Do I need to email Drena? I will email her tomorrow to see if she wants to meet this week. 

I read some poems from Plaid Birds and was happy with them.  My poems are good and worth reading.  Where can I find an audience for them.  Do I need to start a book exchange? I just don't have leadership skills.  Do I need to ask for a corporate donation? Maybe that is what I should do. To just randomly do searches online for companies and see if someone will donate before I have a school confirmed.  And then call a few schools.

Well, have a good day everyone.
