I was saving this one for a special occasion. The raining day read, not that there is one now, I just know that sometimes it's best to play a card when it feels right, even if there is no rain. Many of you most likely know the movie Fightclub, but the book is just as good. I, like most authors, like to read the book before I see the movie. This, however, is an exception to the "read it before you see it" mantra. I saw the movie long before I knew who Chuck Palahniuk was. I still feel the movie is as good as the book.  Needless to say, when I did read the book I was opened up to a whole new style of writing. That style is what I currently refer to as the "know the rules and break them anyway" style. From a literary stand point, nothing about this books should work- but it works wonderfully. Chuck was well aware of what he should do, he knew the rules to writing. He looked at them, and completely disreguarded them. I was so fascinated with the way that this novel...

As I have mentioned, I have a lot of projects up in the air right now—these projects are both personal and professional. One of the largest is the construction of my future home, even though the house is very modest. The construction part isn't the problem. It's the bureaucracy surrounding it. It's the permits, the land, and site prep. The county and country where I live has restricted certain types of houses, and also construction on certain types of land. Washington state has some badass energy requirements too (they really tripped us up). We're talking triple-pane windows and radiant floor heating to meet them. It's frustrating to jump through all these hoops so that I can have a nice little place in the country. Sometimes it feels like pissing in the wind- it will leave a bad taste in your mouth. However, I still want a place where I can write ...
