Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Make sense? It feels right, except for the part where it feels wrong to have changed my writing and career goals out of the blue on the strength of an "aha!" moment.
Susan, that sounds very right to me. And your 'aha' moment had me nodding my head madly.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It makes a lot of sense to me, Susan. Congratulations on the "aha!" moment, I hope it leads you towards happiness and satisfaction. I don't know what would be a better basis for determining your goals than yor own insights.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Juliana! So pretty!
OK, then Steph. Different wedding. That would have been freaky-deeky though, huh?

It really would! If you go through (or near) Waterbury, stop at the Alchemist Pub & Brewery for kick-ass food and what I hear is kick-ass beer. That's my bro's restaurant, though he won't actually be there then, because he'll be back in Cincy for a second reception for the people who couldn't make it to Vermont.

Well, except that it feels like Major Life Choices shouldn't be "ahas!" They should involve pro/con lists, deep thought, prayer and meditation if one is so inclined, and generally take days or weeks to accomplish. Not just having all your annoyance with the constraints your chosen genre places on your writing come to a head at writers group one night, thinking, "Maybe instead of trying to change the genre, I should just change genres," and having everything else follow from there.

I don't know, Susan. The 'aha' sounds much more comforting, and I've found that when you have it, you have it for a reason. It's all the pro/con lists, all the meditation, all the angst compressed into one easy to swallow moment!

I disagree. Lots of Major Life Choices are "ahas!" Sometimes you just KNOW.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
You make it sound like you haven't been meditating/praying and making pro-con lists for the past year. If I read you correctly, this "aha" moment is just the culmination of a lot of soul searching since Annabel was born.
