Here's a video I made on Monday, May 10, 2021 where I talk about the great love of my life; my story in A Legend in Thars:
Here's a 2nd video I made about Thars on Wednesday May 19, 2021. Like "cute meets"? Well, I swung for the fences with this one boys. See if I hit a home run or struck out. This video delves into the epic romance that blossoms between Dale Evans and Reianne Helms that takes off in book two in the A Legend of Thars series: A Strange Sense of Divine Destiny:
Good evening y'all! Probably need to start breaking that in a little more, because I'm probably going to be moving to Tennessee soon.
I live with my parents and my brother and his family on 5 acres in rural, Bonney Lake WA; BUT my parents want to sell the house and move to Tennessee. They're quite serious about it and had a guy over this weekend to appraise the house. Now this was my dad's dream. But he's got Alzheimer's and his views on everything are changing.
So I've spent most of my time crying since Monday when I talked with my mom. From a previous video I tried to connect with Taylor Swift and explain where I was coming. I owed it to her. As I had posting things to her on social media trying to get her jazzed about a couple scripts I wrote.
Video I made for T.S. last Tuesday, 4-27-2021:
E.C. chat video made Sunday, May 2, 2021:
I have longed for years to "make it" and sell a script. Hasn't happened. Even when the economy was good it was VERY HARD for people without inside connections to get one of their scripts optioned or sold. Taylor Swift was my best shot at getting a sale. But she has shown no interest in that so that's pretty dead--pending interest shown by her.
Having no friends, girlfriends, or love interests is a HARSH reality for me. I dealt with it for years by just LOSING MYSELF in the writing. I mean when your personal life really sucks, that's what you do; you find something else to focus on. For me, that is writing; because I can't stand my life. I don't like being alone. I don't like NOT going on dates. I don't like being a loner. I wish I had friends. The last guy I really palled around with was back in 2000 - 2002. We would go to Christian concerts together. He was in an accident and had speech problems and was on a disability.
How do you go 30 years without a social life? We'll for starters I never really had one. Back in high school I rode motorcycles with a couple "friends": Tom Cumpston and John Ware. We were good friends through our sophomore year, then our friendships ebbed. When Tom got married he didn't even invite me to his wedding, I found out from word-of-mouth and attended. John went off on his own, got involved with drugs, did some time in jail, then got out and his dad helped him get started in the air conditioning business.
I had a good friendship going with a guy, but then I graduated tech school and moved to Boise, Idaho for a job. In Boise I had church people I did things with but never made any close friends.
When I moved back to Washington, I had a slew of jobs. Gradually the "tech" jobs dried up and I went into warehouse work, which is what I'm doing now.
It's just so sad how my life unfolded. I am so empty inside. Devoid of meaningful friendships. Girlfriends and just normal stuff. I know I need that, but I don't know how to get it... I guess I need friendships more than I need a sexual interest. I just need people to love.
Maybe my fortunes will change when I move to Tennessee. I am so ready to have a social life and be part of someone else's life. E.C. Henry is a very, very lonely person.
Okay, I've blabbed on about my sob story long enough. Hoping this week to get in some good writing on the 2nd book in the Legend in Thars series, AND I'm going to start work on So Back & Get Him too. Yep, E.C. Henry is going for yet another franchise:
Kathy Smith Conquers Duboose High School: the prequel that delves into the Kathy Smith character when she was a pretentious 14-year-old girl.
So Go Back & Get Her: A raunchy romantic comedy about a sexually charged couple who's relationship gets challenged with appearance of a childhood sweetheart and a fancy dressing charmer who takes issue with the guy in the sexually charged relationship.
So Go Back & Get Him: This is where E.C. Henry "completes" the Kathy Smith character. Once again she will be the focal character as she must deal with her out-of-control sexuality and new love interest who in new stage director and writer on morning show that Kathy Smith headlines.
Things are a'changin' in my world. So stay tuned! Talk to you again soon.
