Dear Diary,
Merry Christmas Eve Eve. I know I won't have a white Christmas in the Florida Keys, never had and hopefully never will. What I heard on the news this morning though is that south Florida might have a wet Christmas. I am having a 99 cent Christmas Event on the Internet, selling my recently published short story "book" for, you guessed it, 99 Cents from Christmas Day starting at 12:25 a.m. until 12:31 p.m. New Year's Eve. Then the price rises to the normally set, whopping price of 2.99. It's FREE, if people subscribe to Kindle Unlimited and I still get a royalty of 35% if the reader reads at least 10% of my 15 page short story entitled "A Towering Experience" until the end of my exclusive contract with Amazon.com which ends somewhere around February 24th, 2015, in which, I can opt-out of my binding agreement and sell the eBook anywhere I want on the Internet. My future holds the following goals:
1) I plan on writing more short stories (I have a short attention span, as I think some readers do also) The future stories will be based on initially leaving my hometown of Marathon moving in with my brother in San Francisco, playing drums in various bands in the Bay Area to interning for Bill Graham Presents and becoming a road manager, touring with a band in the United States and Canada for 6 months to working for FedEx and United Airlines to moving to Hollywood, California with one of the bands I played drums in to working at Tower Records on the Sunset Strip (See "A Towering Experience" for that story) to moving back to my hometown to start over again, working for a taxi company that went out of business to moving back to San Francisco and getting my CALIFORNIA Commercial license and almost becoming a long haul semi truck driver to moving in with a childhood friend in Miserable, I mean, Mesa, Arizona to moving back to Key West to becoming homeless again and starting from scratch, again to writing lyrics to a song called "Alcohol Call" under the band name I made up in a drunken stupor called, Fall Down Daddy, which the music was recorded by studio musicians found on the Internet and distributed on iTunes, Amazon and 750 other online retailers (Buyer Beware: I don't recommend buying it unless you like decent lyrics put to shitty country music, the only good thing about the song is, if you purchase the song 50% of the proceeds go to the charity Sweet Relief for struggling musicians if you consume the tune on www.reverbnation.com/FallDownDaddy ) to getting a job as a sign waver for Liberty Tax, dressing up in a Statue of Liberty costume to bring in customers off the streets of Key West and getting written up by a writer from the Key West Citizen (Side note: I just got a call from my boss from Liberty Tax yesterday and I will be doing it again in January of 2015, my 4th year in a row with the tax season job from January to April 15th. I will be stationed in front of the post office in Marathon) to moving in "temporary" with another childhood friend, sleeping on the floor of her dog grooming business, paying her 100 every two weeks with my unemployment check I receive for 204 dollars to writing my first short story, you should of heard about before"A Towering Experience" which, FINALLY,....brings me to my future plans of my book series called "Where Did My Life Go?"
2) Whew!....O.K. Let me catch my breath...O.K. Are you ready for my plan to take over the world by storm, one short story at a time....Drumroll, please.....I, Kevin Dale Sanders, pen name K.D. Sanders, plan to bind all of the above mentioned eBook only short stories into a actually REAL book entitled: "Where Did My Life Go?" with BONUS stories that I forgot to mention in the eBook series, distribute it Worldwide to every book store outlet. NOT AVAILABLE ONLINE ANYWHERE! You will only be able to get it in brick and mortar BOOK STORES. Then I will begin a book signing world tour to meet and greet my fans personally.
3) Make interview appearances in makeup, concealing my physical facial appearance (I'm not here to become famous, I am doing this so other people can hear my story) to MAJOR T.V. Programs such as Oprah, Ellen De Generous, Entertainment Tonight, Late night talk shows and any other show that will have me. (A dream of mine is to get Larry King to come out of retirement and do a special edition of Larry King Live)
4) A portion of my book sale proceeds will go to a charity, housing homeless people in the Florida Keys. I will purchase a modest house in my hometown of Marathon. The headline in the local newspaper, Keynoter will read: "Homeless to Homeowner"
5) I will then live in paradise comfortably, happily ever after. End Of Story.
These are my hopes and dreams and I hope you realize if you don't reach for the sky, you will never touch the Moon until you pass it on your way to Heaven for your family reunion. Try while you are here on Earth. God's life gift to you is for you to learn and spread Love in the world you live in. No matter what obstacles you may face. He has given you strength to overcome with your Faith. Then when your work is done, God will call you home to Rest in Peace. Heaven will always be there. It's what you do on Earth that makes a difference. That is what I plan to do or I will die trying. That is my belief and my story...See you when I see you. God Bless. Happy Birthday Jesus. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
