I was asked yesterday when my next livestream would be .
Over the last week I have taken a break of serve from my YouTube videography and streams so as to work on finishing the first draft of the massively revised and expanded 2nd edition ofCreate Your Own Florida Food Forest .
Two twenty-four hour period ago , I wrapped up the text and finished put out the list of interior exemplification , of which there are two hundred . Now I need to go through all that I have been direct by the artist and figure out which illustrations still need to be assigned and which ones are done . When we decided to lead Grenada sooner this twelvemonth I was go quickly on illustration and the textual matter , then liveliness fall asunder for a while and I had to cast the project until I could pull thing back together . Now that we are stable I decided to finish the first draft before doing anything else with illustration so I could ensure they would be space well throughout the textual matter and that I did n’t add or subtract any mintage after assignments .
I have also spill the beans with my publishing house and he would wish me to run a gang - funding crusade to see if we can add some really good supernumerary to this book , like a hardback option , interior color picture , more art and mayhap even a leatherbound edition . I really care the idea , so we are working on that right now .
In other writing intelligence , I am also almost done with the last re - write ofGARDEN HEAT : A Jack Broccoli Novel , which is the 2nd installment of my gardening thriller series . Both the interior playpen and ink representative as well as the cover of this book are being completed by the splendid artist Jeremiah Humphries properly now .
Here is a sample sketch :
I trust to complete the first potation this hebdomad and get it sent out for proofreading .
Winter is a stagnant time for gardening and is when my video views , pageviews and book sales are slow . Since this is the sheath , it just makes gumption to work on my Bible projection now so the hard oeuvre can be done before bounce when everything is really on fire .
I should get back to streaming but I am relish my evenings right now . My energy stage are super eminent , as I decided to entirely quit drinking and smoking and go full carnivore at the same time . Zero carbs , zero sugar , no nicotine , no alcohol . Though I ’m not a heavy drinker by any reaching , I have noticed that have a drink in the evening makes me sluggish the next daylight . Smoking a casual cigar also made me feel slow . Now that I have quit whole I have so much vigour I feel like my brain is on overdrive . Heck , I even feel like running now and I never particularly liked running . It ’s a good opinion . After three day the craving for nicotine give-up the ghost away , and I no longer feel like wassail either . Just had to ruin the use of decompress with a drink and a cigar .
Now in the evenings I learn in the living elbow room with a cupful of mint tea , like a sissy .
But I awaken at dawn with the creative fire burning inside and a immense amount of free energy . My writing andmy arthave both been gentle to carry through . I consider I ’ll just stay on this way – I care it . There are book that need to be written .
Have a great weekend .
