<p>I blinked when I left Ft. Myers, Margaritaville in January and now it&#8217;s May. The time between posts wasn&#8217;t an accident. I swear I went down to Indy n tore up Broadripple with Bling last month but that was back in Feburary. And I also keep thinking I went to Seattle a couple weekends ago to celebrate Oldold Man Finn&#8217;s birthday, but that was in March.</p>
<p>I got pretty sick in Feburary after doing the first part of a project &#8211; the events were probably related &#8211; n spent six weeks recovering. The illness left me feeling shackled up til when sis n I went to my aunts place in Seattle for Oldold Man&#8217;s birthday &#8211; the events could be related.</p>
<p>The light is finally coming at the end of the project tunnel. SEO projects can be exhausting when you have to restart from the ground up n&#8230;rants for another day. Once upon a time I got the job as &#8220;plan B&#8221; to <strong>Book of Blues</strong>. Still, I&#8217;m blessed to have a &#8220;plan B&#8221; 4 miles from home. <span id="more-772"></span></p>
<p>My copyediting cousin has gone from saying he&#8217;d be done with <strong>Book of Blues</strong> just after the Super Bowl to not returning phone calls. Don&#8217;t know the answer. Hope he&#8217;s alright. Maybe he&#8217;s pissed about my impatience. Either I could keep hunting him down or go on to those I can get ahold of.</p>
<p>Time for plan C:  listen to the copyeditors at work n let them go to town on the draft. It&#8217;s a lucky plan C to have in the back pocket. For in the end, the goal is to finish the <strong>Book of Blues</strong>. The work projects n editing delay gave me time to think about the idea of writing <em>to</em> the audience. So, I think I&#8217;ll do one more runthrough the draft as I print it out for <a href="http://www.twitter.com/MaxPowerMD" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.twitter.com/MaxPowerMD?referer=');">Max Power</a>. It also made me reconsider the book titles because now I think of all 3 books at once, whereas before I used to just think of the original book.</p>
<p>But, before I get to do the <strong>Book of Blues</strong> fun, I actually have to get to the end of the project tunnel.</p>
<p>Unless this is all a dream and I&#8217;m still in Ft. Myers, Margaritaville.</p>
