First things first, My book is now available at the Borders website. Like the Barnes and Noble site, the title is wrong (it's missing the "A") and there is no picture. But it's there, so that is cool in it's way.
I also learned today that some of my short stories are appearing in a book called Down in the Dirt which is put out by Scars Publications. I sent them some short stories a year or so ago, which they put up at their website. To my knowlege, they aren't paying me for anything even though they are selling it for actual monies. They didn't even offer me a review copy. I guess it's not actually a book book, but a collection of magazine issues. I found out by Googling myself, which I've taken to doing now that I'm trying to be famous. Anyway, it must not be getting much exposure since this is the first I've heard of it. And the same short story is being published in October in a StoneGarden book.
Going to the dentist on Weds. I have not been to a dentist in years, I can only imagine what they're going to tell me. I can, however, predict what the doc is going to tell me the following day. I had my blood sugar checked and checked again, and then they called me to schedule an appointment right away. I presume that they are going to tell me I have diabetes. Which means something like if I don't pay closer attention to my eating and excersize habits, I will die.
As you all know, I'm large with the fat acceptance. I'm not very good at separating my right to be fat from my desire to live and be healthy. So I'll be struggling with that for a while. And since I have insurance now, I have to prepare myself for the suggestion that I have Weight Loss Surgery. I don't really want to have surgery, nor do I want to take any crazy drugs. But at the same time I've been modifying my eating habits for a while now to no avail. I may even have to get into a real live, exercise routine. Honestly, I'm afraid to work out hard for fear of a heart attack. The delicious irony aside, that would suck. These days, I actually have things to live for...
Also, I need a wikipedia entry.
How does one go about getting one of those?
