I finished my novel! Ki would be so proud if she were here. Sending it off to publishers now.

The whole email it thing is a bit fancier than I'm used to but it got the job done. Mike Noonan is publishing again!

Going out to celebrate.

THERE'S A SHOW ABOUT MY FAMILY! IM FAMOUS??!! holy crap I love this place

Just to be clear, I am not John Winchester, nor am I Dennison Duquette.

Just a head's up, before it's brought up.

You'll never guess, kiddos. I'm still worried about my daughter but I got a book written! So I feel semi normal.

Okay. The writing isn't going so well...

And apparently I don't like Martin Short much.

Okay. Tonight I'm staying in and watching Bill Murray movies. I need the laughs.

More than I want to admit.

When someone wants a first edition of a book but they "don't want an old book". What?

Okay. I have a daughter to get back to. So whatever this is, it stops now.

Well I finally can sit at my computer and open Word without having a panic attack. That's a step in the right direction.

If someone was in the market for a family "therapist", one who is able to work with royalty without letting that turn their head, where might he begin looking for such a blessing?

I...life has dealt my son a great many issues, and it is far past the time to get to the bottom of them. The version of myself that did not end up here, along the timeline, has taken some measures with him that I do not agree with anymore, he's been involved with a gang, grew up rather poor and I believe all of those have contributed to a good deal of his behavior here.

That behavior has reached the point where it's harmed others and it's high time that an expert have a look at us and our situation to see what must be done, whether that is locking him away somewhere, imposing some kind of a system that makes sense, or anything else. I've not known him a full month, yet, or that he existed prior to his arrival here, but I do want to help him, and myself, to know what to do, or how to respond, even if that means that helping him includes sending him to live somewhere that can teach him a better way. I have heard that there are schools and hospitals.

It's not the thing I want to do, first off, without trying a few things here, but, at the end of the line, it IS a possibility that I may need to think about, but one that comes after trying other steps, I think. I'd like to get those steps started soon as possible if I may.

I'll not have another incident in which he hurts someone so badly again. The least that I can do is lead the horse to water, and hope it drinks. I'd like to get that leading going, if I might.

Also, I think that I would like a job. I was a brother in the chantry...a priest if you will, once, am the Prince of Starkhaven and saw to business and daily affairs and I'm a damned good archer, bumming myself up or not, but I do not see those applying so much to daily life here, somehow.

I was able to write today. That was surprising and very welcome.

I do get recognized sometimes, but this is crazy. There's a book about me? Seriously? Okay......

I wish I could still write. I used to write all the time. I liked it. Of course, it's not the same without Jo to read them, but still.

Can someone tell me if this is still the year 1998? Because I don't believe that it is.
