Recovering… Still

Monday, March 16th, 2009

I have noticed a change for the better with my thinking. It occurred maybe an hour or less after taking my prescribed medication two days ago. It appears that what was left over with the voice, or abnormal impulses I have will completely go away!

Arizona Coloring Book and Autism Coloring Book Update

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

I haven’t heard back from my brother Steve, who is translating Autism Coloring Book into Chinese. As I mentioned previously, a print-on-demand self-publisher is interested. I’ve decided to publish with them, assuming everything in the contract is acceptable.

I still have paranoia and am getting over recognizing it.

I might be able to attend my twentieth high school class reunion as I am doing a little better. It would be nice to see people again as I haven’t seen them in a long time. If I feel up to it, I’ll consider attending.

I am in the process of preparing the drawings, cover and text for Arizona Coloring Book.

Arizona Coloring Book Update and More

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

I have all of the illustrations for Arizona Coloring Book on hand as my brother Kevin, who has autism, finished them last weekend. Today he drew illustrations for another project. I assume he likes to which it appears he does.

I hope to be able to offer Autism Coloring Book for download soon. I haven’t talked to my brother Steve, who speaks fluent Chinese, about his progress in translating the book. I very much look forward to offering it as a published book too assuming we find a decent publisher interested. As I mentioned in my previous entry, we have an offer which while it is a good one, I am waiting to hear back from my brother before I agree. I very much look forward to seeing the book in print in both English and Chinese! I will be proactive in promoting our books assuming they are published.

I have been planning to find a job through a program which helps the mentally ill and others to find jobs here in Tucson. Soon I hope to be employed.

I have noticed slight improvements with my thinking which looks promising. Maybe I’ll be well and able to attend my twentieth high school class reunion, which I hope to do.

I have decided to probably publish Schizophrenia Coloring Book through CreateSpace, an online print-on-demand publishing company. They publish two of our books, Valentine’s Day Coloring Book and Kevin Likes Art: He has Autism – A Coloring Book. It can be downloaded for free at http://www.schizophreniacoloringbook.com.

I haven’t made the time to study my Spanish, which is still an important endeavor.
