You know, it sounds like a pretty good life to me. I'm glad everything worked out about the job. Susan.
Well, if I could somehow swing 36-hour days, or get that time-turner of Hermione Granger's. But I'm going to really have to fight to keep my writing going, and accept that 10-15 pages/week is enough for the time being. Which isn't a terrible page count--it still allows me to complete a novel in a year. But I've heard various people say you might as well not even try to write while you have small children if you're also working. And that's just not an option, AFAIC. I am a writer. I finally figured that out. I'm not going to stop.
Alton just made poptarts.
I am sure you'll find someway to write , Susan. and as long as you write every week, I wouldn't worry about page count. page count matters only when you have a contract in you hand.
I have no paid work today. Bad for the bank account, but good for actually letting me read my library books which are due tomorrow. I'd renew them, but I've used all my renewals up. I just finished reading "Chasing Shakespeares" by Sarah Smith. I'm not necessarily huge with Shakespeare love, but it was quite an enjoyable book. Deals with lot of issues, including the whole authorship issue. I think many of the peeps here would like it.
sending out the exam ma~ to gloomcookie - and yup, I started at 10.
Hi Bitches. I'm in a craptastic mood.
juliana, I'm sorry. I know you worked hard, and I'm sorry you're having to go through this. If there's anything at all I can do, let me know.
Hi Bitches. I'm in a craptastic mood.
What? Didn't you see me post the review of the apocalyptic zombie novel upthread?
I'll just sit with Raq in the craptastique mood corner. but I have to spell it in a fancier way. Because I am annoyed by the money - and I know once the 15th rolls around it won't bug me. We are in the normal cycle of things. I just don't like it.
Didn't you see me post the review of the apocalyptic zombie novel upthread?
Yes, but not even that could stop me from sliding into this mood, although it did offer a small bright spark. I think Frank Zappa may be the soundtrack for that book.

You know, this bit is sort of how I feel right now:
He loves these new children, but He doesn't love you. They are more interesting than you. They are beautiful, psychotic, magical, sex-crazed, and deadly. They are turning your cities into apocalyptic chaos, and there's nothing you can do about it ...
You know, this bit is sort of how I feel right now:
Maybe you should buy that book then, because it does follow the unloved-by-God humans as they hook up with Satan and try to redefine their lives.
A powerful, hopeful metaphor for all of us!
Dude...I'm a Wire fan. If you wanna bum me out, you're gonna have to try harder. Can some of the unloved by god humans be kids warehoused in godawful public schools? OMG...that thing with Wallace.
