Prison Journal: Day 8,086
September 29, 2009
The temperatures have dropped in Taft Camp. Yesterday was probably our last day above 90 degrees until next spring. When I went outside to run this morning, I kept my t-shirt on, and I suspect I’ll be wearing a t-shirt or a sweatshirt to exercise in every day until next March or April. I like the desert climate, and I’ll miss the warmth.
I returned to some blogging responsibilities today. This writing for the Web is an important component of my preparations for release. The more influential presence I can build in the blogosphere, the more effectively I’ll be able to support my family through speaking, consulting and writing. I expect to return home within three years, and I will use every day that remains to build resources and strengthen my network through the Web.
The articles I wrote will appear on Change.org, a liberal site with tens of thousands of members. I postponed my weekly contribution earlier this year when I wanted to focus all of my writing energy on the Earning Freedom manuscript. Today I’m closing in on the completion of that project with edits. I expect to submit the manuscript to my literary agent, Jim Schiavone, in mid-October. Once I send the manuscript off, I’ll focus more energy on the blogging.
I ran 10 miles this morning, boosting my tally to 2,586 miles over the past 291 days.
