My blog is being written while I have been recovering from my illnesses, therefore it has been influenced adversely by my condition. I apologize in advance for any confusion.

 

June 2, 2007

I still haven't completely recovered from paranoid schizophrenia and possibly obsessive-compulsive disorder which only time will tell if I still suffer from. I plan to find a place to live probably as soon or soon after getting all better, which will be the first time for me living on my own, and not with my parents. I must accept the probability that it will be a while until I am feeling all better.

I only found out today that I am going to be looking for a new job as my employer, Ethan Allen® Home Interiors, is being bought. The warehouse, not the store, will soon be shut down.

I haven't been working on my picture book or children's novel very much until very recently because of work and publishing my Web site which took most of my time particularly over the past month or so which is an understatement. I had been updating my Web site's blog, putting old entries into place on the site's blog pages.

Please be a friend to someone special and let them know about my children's picture book manuscript which will be ready for submission to the United States Copyright Office, then to an editor and finally to an at least decent publishing company as soon as I completely recover. Please be patient as I am going to be.

Perhaps, I'll see you at a book signing. Could I be a great public speaker? I'd like to learn how to be one as I have very little experience, as if it's necessarily a requirement to become one. I once read a book about public speaking when I was in high school. Possibly because I was mentally ill, experiencing the prodrome of paranoid schizophrenia, I did not take advantage of public speaking and the like as much as I could have. I did do some oral school reports in front of class and more. Perhaps I'll develop an affinity for public speaking especially if I'm great at doing it.
