As I sit here in my hotel, far away from Chicago, I'm feeling the need to write. I'm tired from working all weekend in a small cramped space with no air circulating. I have a headache from a very annoying man who won't give me the space to do my job. I should either be drinking a beer or trying to sleep, but I have this need to write.
I miss my characters. I miss the antics that the Grimm's Reapers cast gave to me. Oz's story is in my head. The story idea I bought off my buddy has been consuming my thoughts. If I don't do something soon, I'll go nuts. I honestly thought it was for the best not to try to keep up my author pursuits while I was expanding my day job.
I can man up and say I was wrong. My tablet isn't going to cut it. Today I'm going to go to this little specialty computer store I found and build the perfect lap top. I'm going to email my buddies Jeremy and Jeff to see what dates this fall are open for a book release. Then I'm going to start Oz's story.
Damnit people, Jack is back.

On the Road Again
When you take a job in sunny Florida, you expect a bit of nice weather. I've ben freezing in Chicago and my pal Jeremy lives in Orlando, so you can imagine all the obnoxious posts. But late last week, when I emailed him that I was coming to Tampa, he's like you picked the wrong time to come. I got in on Saturday and that night we had a tornado warning. Sunday wasn't too bad, but today I woke up to the 40's. Seriously?
Long story short, my dreams of partying on the beach for a few days were dashed. I did hear the original Outback Steakhouse is down here, so I might try to find that. The locals also talk about Ybor City, which apparently has excellent beers and cigars to choose from.
I leave on Wednesday, so come back on Thursday and I'll detail all the fun things I find. I don't plan to go over to Orlando unfortunately (it's about 80 miles away I think and I am using public transit), so if you want info on the tourist traps, look elsewhere.
Real quick book update - I got some writing done on the plane. The story is really picking up and soon we're going to be going on a reunion tour of sorts. Depending on my progress, I'll maybe have another sample chapter up in a week or two.
That's all for now,
Jack Crosby
