jamie doom

These days I find myself back on a boat. Work, despite harshing my mellow, is a welcome distraction from deep inside my brain. It seems, sometimes, when I am sitting around doing nothing, waiting to go back to work, I think about the beautiful mess/ ugly structure my life has become. I am happy to working again after over two months off. Seeing the words “happy” and “work” so close together makes me wonder what I am talking about.

So the plan is to work through the summer and maybe some of the fall. I am not sure yet. Then I will move to Chengdu, China. There in Chengdu, China I will resume Doom in China. I will finish my novel about China. I will also be more diligent about updating this. I hope.

So this boat is pretty nice. I have a cabin to myself, with internet in-cabin. The gym is huge, so I have been carefully getting ripped. The vessel is large. The crew seems laid back. I am not certain how long I will be out here, but at least I am on such a nice big boat.

I want to thank those of you who patiently come to my little coffee-stained page hidden in the back of the internet. I realize I don’t reward you often enough with updates, inspired writing, or exciting news. I do appreciate your kind words and the knowledge that a few people I have never met show up occasionally to read my writing. Thanks.
