Today I began my day at 3:01.  My editing work took me through the early morning, until 5:00.  I went outside to exercise for 2.2 hours, doing my routine of pushups and running. After exercising I continued editing my new manuscript.  It’s time consuming work because I have to read every line very closely.  I [...]

I began my day at 2:28.  Today, and for the next several days, I’ll be editing.  I enjoy this phase of the writing project.  Truthfully, I enjoy all phases of every writing project.  I like the planning, the outlining, the interviewing, the writing, and the editing.  Soon we will print the book and have it [...]

I began my work this morning at 2:19.  It was a great writing session, as I finished writing the first chapter of a new manuscript.  This manuscript isn’t about prison. It’s about steps to creating wealth from nothing more than ideas, courage, and commitment.  I expect to complete the manuscript before the end of February.  [...]

For the past two days I’ve slept later, until 3 a.m. Today I’m back to my usual schedule. I began my day at 1:58 a.m. Before going outside for pushups and my daily run, I spent the first couple of hours making great progress on chapter one of my new manuscript. After 2 ½ hours [...]

This morning I slept until 3:22.  It’s much later than I usually sleep. I ran a longer distance yesterday, and perhaps my body needed rest.  In any event, I began writing the first chapter for a new manuscript today.  It’s a short book about creating wealth.  I’m writing it for a friend.  It’s really his [...]

This morning I slept until 3:02.  I spent the morning reviewing my notes for a paper I was going to write, however I lost interest in the paper and made the decision to set it aside.  Instead, I used the rest of my morning to write out options for projects that would carry me through [...]

I woke at 2:47 a.m. today.  I spent another morning working through a schedule that is going to carry me through the remainder of this year.  Making schedules has been a part of my life ever since I began serving this term.  But now that I’m in the year 2012, the year that I expect [...]

This morning I began my work at 2:09.  I read a policy brief about a study some researchers did on prisoner readiness for a return to society.  These policy papers strike me as a bunch of drivel.  There isn’t anything earth shattering in the data.  The study I read made findings that prisoners were more [...]

I began my day this morning at 2:34.  Instead of working on the manuscript that has been keeping me busy for the past two months, I began collecting information for a new manuscript that I may write.  It’s still in the exploratory stages, but I’m continuing the work, doing my best to gather the content [...]
