Welcome to WRITE ENOUGH!
Or JP Mac as if says on the books. The good keepers of ancient knowledge over at Animanicast interviewed me about a Pinky and the Brain episode I wrote called "Spellbound," as well as inquiring about my upcoming book on loss, acceptance, and running a long way: How to Run a Marathon in 13 Years. Give a listen.

September 9 is the day and I'm really behind with the print book. I sit down in front of the computer in the morning and arose myself sometime in the late afternoon or evening. Most of the challenges involve formatting. Lately, my laptop goes with me into the living room where I turn on the TV and concentrate on the laptop.
Very weary of all this self-publishing business. The next book goes out to publishers. I can write another one while the first is being rejected.

Not the two free chapters to a discounted nonfiction, inspirational memoir launching Friday, September 9. No. Not that. However, it's jaw-dropping that I've posted twice in one day. Naturally, I want something.
Stop by my landing page (Aweber's landing page), leave your name and email and receive the first two chapters to How to Run a Marathon in 13 Years. Should you be tempted to purchase, just know that the ebook is .99 and will remain so until September 16. Then, as is customary in this country, the price will rise like one of Elon Musk's rockets.
Hope you enjoy the writing. I'm preparing the manuscript for ebook and softcover formatting. I'm also preparing to not self-publish anything, ever again.
Of course, I've said that after marathons.

It's almost to the day last August when I ran my first ten miler in many a year, enroute to Surfers Point Marathon.
Now I'm enroute to the California International Marathon just as if it were 2008. They've been sending me invitations since I injured myself back in the day. I opened one last month and thought it might be fun to give it a try.
I intend to break five hours. That's 11:27 a mile. It seems doable, but I will have a vacation in the middle of my training. I've planned around it, given myself more time. The vacation shouldn't interrupt the mileage buildup.
The book slogs forward toward its Sept. 9 release. I'm sooooo tired of it, but need to push on as if it were mile 24.

Yesterday, Adam was decent enough to invite me on his popular podcast to share memories and promote my latest book. A good time? Most certainly and free water too, I might add.
Below is an image of Adam as contractor and ladies' man Nick E. Chitwood from our time at the Acme Comedy Theatre.
