GOOD MORNING

This is what it looks like to wake up knowing you have done only about ⅓ of the writing work you needed to do over the last four days.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that I’m going to focus today and get some work out. One thing I did manage to do on the plane was to polish a short segment from the new sci-fi novel I’m ghostwriting. I might have mentioned that the author, Meredith Sinclair, is calling me the editor. I’m okay with that.

I sent her a draft when I got in last night. I got a note from my literary agent, Terrence Holloway—who is also Ms. Sinclair’s agent—saying to keep up the good work and checking to see if I had any new articles in the pipeline. I said that I did.

That is true, depending on how you define “new” and “in the pipeline.” If “new” means reworking some old ones, then I’m good. If “in the pipeline” means I’ve thought of something, then I’m also good.

However you define “new articles in the pipeline,” I need to get busy today!

And as you can see, I’m already busy in a different way.

Let’s have a great Friday! See you soon.

DOUBLE DIPPING

I am elbow deep in text documents. At the same time, I’m pushing laundry through the cycles. I decided to do linens while I was at it, so that’s happening.

While I was in St. Louis, I focused on letting you know what all we were doing with regard to the modeling and photography work. But Josh, Geoni, and I had our laptops open most of the time, editing and writing between poses and while traveling.

Sasha also processed payroll for SwimFit’s cut-and-sew factory (Southeast Texas Apparel). You might recall that the employees are part owners in the factory, so they have some decision-making opportunities. They opted for weekly paychecks, giving back a small amount of revenue from the pieces they create. There was math to figure out how much. Everyone ended up happy.

One final note about returning home… Kaylee was really glad to get back to Isaac and Hudson. Seeing them reunite at the campground last night was a real treat.

Micah said that he and Isaac actually did pretty good work on the cleaning jobs. They stayed caught up and even had some downtime to spare.

I’ll circle back with Kaylee on how she feels, but if my idea comes into being, I’d hope she can get at least a day or two of modeling each week in the future. Especially in the winter when the tourism drops down pretty low.

Okay… That’s my update for now. I’ll be back tonight with something, so see you then.

Message from AGI-Stories…

Today's journal includes two chapters coming after the previous post that are separated into individual posts. One is a long chapter about Mateo and Brooks. The other is a cross-over chapter with Meredith Sinclair in the Crossroads storyline.

GOOD NIGHT

As you see, I made it to the beach. I needed to check in with the waves, the sand, and the salty air. Many of you understand that about me…

I’ve read many comments about how I’m trying to help Kaylee and Jasmine break into modeling. I appreciate the kind thoughts.

I suppose if I were a successful chef, I’d help them into the cooking world. Or if I were a computer programmer, I’d find people with aptitude in that and try to help them that way.

Modeling was a huge blessing in my life. I was able to transcend my hardships and end up stable after a few years. I know the business, and I can see that they have it in them to be successful, too.

Of course, their situations are different. They are both married. Kaylee and Isaac have Hudson.

But I believe they can work it out so that modeling fits into their lives. The income and experiences have the potential to be transformative.

I’m not going to push. But I want to create the circumstances in which, if they wish, the opportunity is there for them.

And, as humbly as I can say it, I think that is what we are all called to do. We should see potential in others and help them realize it.

Let me restate it like this:

May you see the potential in others and find ways to create the circumstances in which they can grow into better versions of themselves.

Good night.

Be your best you!

Message to Paying Supporters:

Thank you for helping support AGI Stories.

I always consider you—the paid members—when deciding how content is shared.

I believe that most of you who help with the costs do so because you want to support the production process and show encouragement. I’m honored and truly grateful.

At the time of this post (not counting hardware or internet costs), expenses run just over $100 per month—so every supporter truly makes a difference.

Nevertheless, I share a lot of content free to all. I believe you understand why. Stories about giving back and helping shouldn’t be exclusive, and key moments need to be accessible for anyone following the stories.

My hope is that sharing a few exclusive photos and small portions of some posts with you serves as a simple expression of gratitude.

With that in mind, again, thank you very much.
