In a nutshell.

I realize it’s been a quite while since I last updated.
A lot has happened.
There’s no way I can fit everything into just one post, so I’m keeping this short.

I’ll update in the next few weeks with some more detail.

The book is still on its way.
I appreciate the patience that everyone has shown.
Right now we are working with three different editors to polish it up.
There were a few choices that I made that inevitably delayed the whole project.
I’ll explain more later on, but for now, just know that we are working on it, and it shouldn't be much longer. (Expect a hard release date soon.)


Some of the most exciting news is that Richard Longtails was given the green light from kickstarter.com.
If you’re not familiar with kickstarter, basically, it’s a way of bringing fans and projects together.

This site is really awesome because the more people that come together and support a project, the better the project becomes.
We have some cool ideas in the works, with your help, we can make them happen.
So, if you know anyone that’s interested in reading about cats, time travel, and all that good stuff, make sure to pass the word along.

Sorry for being out of touch, sometimes life throws us a twist, but things are back on track.

Make a list or clone yourself.

Let’s face it, the days are getting shorter.
Where information, entertainment, or creation, is just a few keystrokes away, it seems that twenty-four hours just isn’t enough.
Sometimes I get frustrated. Like most people, I’ll be thinking about 20 different things, but only be able to work on one specific thing at a time. Sometimes I wish I could just upgrade my body, install a few extra arms, or even better yet, clone myself.

But since these options aren’t readily available, (at least not yet) there is one thing I do that helps keep me on track. Make a list.

Every morning, the very first thing I do is make a list. This helps me prioritize my goals, schedule my day, and most importantly – get things done. If for whatever reason there‘s something that I didn’t get to yesterday, then I just move it up to the new days list. This way, if I have a goal, it’ll get done. It’s that’s simple. I keep the list handy, and add to it throughout the day.

It’s satisfying to scratch things off.

For big projects, it’s a great way to track progress.

I realize the idea of making a list is not a new one; you find thousands articles talking about how helpful they are, so I’m not going to get into the details. All I’m saying is that they’re helpful.
