Writers Log: Day 109

Two weeks ago I stopped all personal hygiene as I think it interferes with the creative writing process. Folks at my day job seem a little concerned but they no longer come around my office. This frees up time to proof read my guide. I asked John to do it but he curled up in a ball and started mumbling something about making the typos go away.

I have finished the first couple of builds and will hopefully publish early next week. I miss my HTPC, I wish had time to use it. It calls to me. My couch misses me.
