home at last
16 hr days are tough but the JOB is done 4 a good bit. Chicago's trip is coming Friday. I'm probably more nervous than excited because I wasn't sure this day would ever get here. White Sox, Cubs, Solder Field and United Center I'm on the way!!

One Last thing...probably
One of the guys from the JOB is going to help me with adobe Photoshop to help me design my covers. Again, I'm looking 4 a noir look with a black n white photo of structure's within my city with the silhouettes I've downloaded appearing somewhere n the pick.
Avenging...
Although its looking less n less likely I'll be getting any prose work done 2nite, I did get some template stuff done. I'm going to change the title of my series to Avenging from Killing. I've decided to use a detective for all the stories who I'm leaning heavily towards calling Angel. Avenging Angel. Get it!!
Anyway, the female names that I was going to use still come into play. Except Angel will be looking into solving their murders: Being an Avenging Angel.
I'm working out rather he shoulf be a city detective or a private one. If he is a city cop he would need a partner who WILL be female but beyond that I don't have any idea.
The Avenging aspect has more of a positive conotation than the killing does but that's not the only reason for the change
Again, I like the idea that I discussed in one my post yesterday about being a little more singularly focused in these stories. I think this happens 4 me now, while still being entertaining and literate.

I Was Wrong
i redesigning my killing series. I think each story needs to be tighter, maybe closer to 5000 words in length, more singularly focused, weeding out the extra characterizations and scenery. I'm working on it now.
Tebow Update
I believe I've got a nice article up into the end of Part I, but Í admit I'm getting tired. I finished half of my first section of Part II but I've got a ton of editing. It feels like I'm straying from the subject in hand. Some rest should help me with that evaluation.
Like I've said here before, one of my biggest failures in life is a lack of patience. I want this article posted on Amazon so badly but I've got to be more patient. I'm getting frustrated that NO one has purchased Waiting. I'm confident that the Tebow article can help generate some sales for my first short story.
The original idea was to post Tebow's article and The NCAA Playoff one of the same day to help both of them make sales by feeding off of each other. I hope I can stay with that idea.
