This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dang, ita. I was half-writing a heaven drabble about lying on the beach in my head, but now I won't bother.

And just for the record, I know several people with wonderful souls who work in PR, advertising, what have you. How you make money isn't necessarily who you are.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thank GOD.

Otherwise I'd be a computer.

Wait, you aren't a computer?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

No, silly, she's an Ninja robot!

Thank you, debet. And I don't ninja for money, ever.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

(grinning for the first time in hours, at nifty conversation)

Editing sucks. A lot. And I don't know if I even have the skills to write what I picture, anyway.

Because books.

Editing sucks. A lot.

Have you thought about waiting a little bit before tackling this? You only finished...last week, was it? For me, at least, I need a good two weeks or more to read it fresh before I can objectively (as much as that's possible) edit and revise.

Yay for Kristin's good freelance deal! That's a nice chunk of change for press releases, my dear.

Up with the sun

Yay for Kristin! Getting paid is always good.

I could definitely wait. But I'm thinking I need some sort of project to take my mind off upsetting thoughts today. I'll just look for simple fixes first. Still not my favorite though, but better than getting sucked in to awful TV about baby-selling rings or something.
