Life interrupts constantly - that is a hard and fast rule to live by.
When things not-life interrupt, it's terribly irritating.
No- I am not talking about death, or some surreal limbo of something zombie-like in between.
I am talking about those things in life that are not normal, that blind-side you from the back-seat and send your car into a curb-check right in front of a cop on a monday morning on your way to work.
The wife has health issues. that's been taking time and effort away. I choose to take off from work to take care of her and rest and heal. Makes money scarce and hard to make ends meet.
With the health problems it makes finding time for over-time (or make up time in my case) harder to find.
All in that I'm supposed to be one here promoting my book. I got a new cover to make my cover more conventional. i got a better description on the book.
Guess what! Everyone loves the new cover and I haven't sold a copy of it yet!
F*ck!ng mass majority doesn't know sh!t on marketing! My last Cover stood-out! yes it was an eyesore but people stopped and looked! people bought the fu*king book! Now it just sits there with all the other covers looking like the same sh!t as before!
I am glad I was right- but I'm even more sore I caved into the pressure and change dhte cover because too many P*ssies cried about it being immature and making their eyes bleed. WAH! My pussy hurts! go fuck yourselves. if you JUDGE a book by it's COVER than you are a F*CKING MORON!
Anyway, just venting!
The old cover will be restored soon enough to all available avenues.
have a good one and enjoy the life things that interrupt you. not-life things have the suck factor of a large black-hole and really f*ck up your writing.
And yes, I know no one reads this fucking blog, so have fun if you stumble upon it.

This is my blog page.... "Future Useless" is the title of my first novel... This page is for my thoughts and a place I can deposit my latest ideas up here to work on later or refine as I see the need to. Ideas here are not complete but will give me a way to tap into the random insights I have as I work and be creative. You are welcome to look at my thoughts. Thanks- W. A. Patterson

Life lately.
I know i haven't updated this lately.
Quite frankly life has been hard to contend with on its own the past month or so.
We moved and now are adjusting to a changed lifestyle, trying to work out schedules before the kids go back to school, and trying to find time to write has been a major challenge to balance between hame and family life and work.
I will post more later - much later, but for now it will have to wait.

School is out!
Now i can start sleeping in on mornings during the week and get some much needed rest.
I've been averaging 5-6 hours a night for three months now due to publishing my book, my wife's helth and getting my 7 year old to 2nd grade each day.
Now that they are all out of school, the kids can sleep in, and now Dad can sleep in.
That leaves more energy for work and more energy to write!
Auuuugh! YIPPEEEEEE!

General Updates
Just a genreal status update on everything going on with my life lately.
Family and Wife are well, considering the problems the wife is having and unique challenges every child brings with them. School is almost over - (C'mon Thursday! C'mon!!! Get here already! I need to sleep in again!)
Book sales are going well enough. I'm on Amazon, B&N & Smashwords now. Still waiting for Kobo and Sony to get with the program but that will come.
The Kickstarter Project is going - slowly but surely. I am getting some more interest in my project and two supporters yesterday. Now up to $160.00 out of 5000 and over a month to go. No worries and I hope to make it (see other blogs to see how this project will work if I don't raise funding)
The script for Leebor & Woolee is finished for the first fdraft and I'm supposed to get feedback to re-write now. Hopefully I'll see some cash soon before I'm writing it while living in a Van down by the river!
The book
Prometheus: The Ugly Boy - And Medusa! is currently stalled at chapter 3. I know what to write but making it to the page is hard as I am constantly distracted by life and money and other peroanl issues that rob me of my time!
I will get back to it soon as I hope to have it finished by a certain Little Girl's Birthday this summer. It's for her afterall and I can't afford too great a gift this year, but am working to have that to do! (1 Month to go on that Anita - way to pressure Daddy!)
OTher that that, I'm menacing Facebook and everywhere else with updates and pitches for my project for the next month as well.
I did however get to see some of the new Dr. Who episodes this week. I admit I had doubts about the new kid, but so far it's fitting with the whole new series rather well.
Ok that's it. It's my lunch time and I'm gonna relax for some time today!
