At the moment I'm managing to write five nights a week (I'm usually busy Friday night and then either Saturday or Sunday so I don't have a chance to sit down and write those days) and putting out a little over 4,000 words, which I realize is a bit on the slow side. But at the moment it feels right, and more importantly, the hour a day is turning it into more of a habit rather than something I do when the mood strikes me. I can't even imagine churning out 20 pages in a day, at least not right now.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Congratulations Rio and Husband! Warmest blessings to you both!
And welcome to Fiona's latest!
Am so tired I can't stand it.
sara robe/knife/dog man sounds frightening. I'm askeered for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My secret got posted! OK, not really.

Jesse, link is a little wonky.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That link doesn't work for me, Jesse.

Lame. Well, go to Post Secret [link] and scroll down until you can tell you're at mine. You'll know.

Oh, and while I'm thinking about cowboys -- I swear every time I see a funny movie, there's some bit that makes me laugh embarassingly loud while the rest of the theater is SILENT. In Wedding Crashers, it was when he said they had been to a million weddings and rocked them all.

Reload it. It works then.

It should have been. I mean, really. But really, it was just too STRANGE.
I was poking around on realtor.com, figuring to be even more depressed given Baltimore's real estate market made the national news on NPR yesterday, but instead I'm finding that the sleepy neighborhood I drive by (between a scruffy industrial/rail area and a historic black neighborhood) is quite...reasonable. So. Need to start this up again, given the layoff axe is gone.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
A little further down, Jesse, there's a postcard that says:
hug me
i don't fear being touched
i fear being let go.

If we'd been there together, I would have been laughing, too. (and probably misquoting lyrics)
