Well, thanks so much for such a resounding note of welcoming back! I truly appreciate it! And Cannafan, that wasn't a real growl, it was more of a playful kind of growl. I'm sure you did, but if you didn't, I hope you realize that now. I would never mean to be rude to you, or anyone here, in any way. I hope that is obvious by now. I'm high. What do I know? But my back isn't killing me, that's for sure.
It's a beautiful day here out in mid-eastern Central Alberta. I was just re-reading the CBC article on Justin's announcement that pot would be legal to use recreationally in Canaca by 1 July 2018. An enjoying little read, for various reasons. Not the first of which was the authors incapacity to write a sentence, paragraph or article. My gawd! it was awful! Then I read that it had been edited a second time to include some info or take some info out or some such thing and I thought, after experiencing the editing process myself these past couple of months, I thought wow-I can see how that could terribly ruin a piece, to be edited twice by different editors. I can only imagine the havoc two different editors who don't see eye to eye could really damage a piece, even just something as small as an online magazine article.
Things on the book are going well. I've recently begun work on Chapter V of Finding Max. For those of you who don't know, I am an as yet unpublished author who had a book taken up by a publishing company this past fall that I had written in the summer. Don't mind my english today. See above for reasons why. Anyway, after that interruption... Anyway, I had this novel that I had written this summer called Finding Max and it was picked up this fall by a publishing company in California who wants to publish it. So we're working on the editing part, me and my editor from the company. And we're now on Chapter V of it. For those who don't know, there's also two sequels planned for Finding Max, Loving Max and Killing Max (these are potential names, not names set in stone). Oh, and release date is set for 14 Nov 2017, so lookout -- it hits the stands on that date! It'll probably be easier to get an online copy for your eReader or computer, though. I don't think there's going to be a ton of print copies available unless you live in big urban areas. But we live in 2017 - by the end of the year pot will be legal for people to smoke in our country, we sent a man up to the moon almost 50 years ago - don't we allow ourselves the luxury of reading from our eReader or our computer? Okay, so that was a push, and it didn't quite make it... Regardless, it's a good book and worth reading. That's all I can say. Wait, no it isn't.
Finding Max begins around a 5 year old boy, Max, who is abducted while playing in a park with his older brother, Gary. Fast forward 17 years and Max and Gary are reunited through a strange series of circumstances. And while Max and Gary and Gary's new girlfriend, Jean, must evade the maniacal Quinn's evil retribution directed towards Max, they must all also learn to love each other and, more maybe more importantly, learn to find each other.
So that's what else I have to say about the book. If anyone has any questions, feel free to pm them to me, or I suppose you could ask them here, too, but I try to keep this thread kinda chatter free. Yeah, right. Like what am I doing right now, eh? Chattering. I know. Actually, maybe we should continue to keep this chatter free unless you have other reasons for posting on the thread to do with the work of the thread. I guess that was good enough english, right?
Aww, hell. Do what you want! Who am i to police the thread? I have no interest in doing that. None at all. I just want us all to have good discussions and tangible work product to say for our work on the thread, something we can go to others with and say, hey! We did this, and it works, come try it! Kinda sounds like getting your friend to try pot, doesn't it. Hey, we did this and it works, come try it! Yep, sounds a lot like my first time trying pot. I was the guy coming to try it and my friend was the guy who was convincing me. Actually, he wasn't a friend. Pretty much an acquaintance, pretty much a stranger to me who was convincing me to try it. Didn't take much convincing, actually. I was ripe.
Okay, I'm just blathering. Rather than erase my whole post, I'm going to post it. If it's really too bad i hope someone will pm me and suggest I delete it.
Anyway, I hope all are well! Sorry for those I offended in my earlier posts. I think it was only Cannafan, but I could be wrong... Actually, I'm sure I didn't really offend Cannafan...
If ya can't have fun....what's it all for?
