Tracy ,'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm sorry ita. I'm usually pretty ok with kid noise, but not shrieking. Or that kid having a 40 minute convo on his cell consisting entirely of "Whuh! WHUH! whuh. WHUH!"
Maybe you should invest those noise-cancelling headphones, for irritating neighbors and bad migraines.
Keep breathing, Allyson. I take it you're kind of feeling wrung out?
Allyson, breathe deeply.
sara, they have been shrieking since I got home, which is almost two hours. Can I bill their parents for painkillers? My place really isn't large enough for any of it to be considered outdoor play area.
Speaking of Waking The Dead (wasn't I?) the pattern of making the team members look shady pales in comparison to the idea of killing off a core cast member two series running. I did yell, though. He'd better not be dead. Too predictable.
hairpats, Allyson.
Hang in there.
Poor Allyson. Sarameg, ita and Consuela all have good advice. I hope you can find a way to feel unbroken quickly.
One of my beta readers came back to me with some pretty solid evidence that what I have is a jumbled piece of crap with no clear thesis statement or conclusion.
And so, I'll have to do some serious work on that, as well as come up with the rest of the book, well, tonight.
When i think about it, my eyes well up.
sorry, Allyson. I didn't realize it was serious.
ION: I have this cough that makes it very hard to sleep, so I stayed home and tried to nap. But one of my neighbors decided to play his early 80's musical collection VERY loud. He apparently does this cause most of the time everyone else is away during the day.
Promise yourself a good reward for your effort this weekend, Allyson. It is hard work, and it sucks that it's piled up this way...but it's for your dream. You can cry tomorrow. When you've done what you've done, send that off.
Unrelatedly, Reese from MitM buys the Lachey/Simpson house. Also it's rumoured that the Colin Farrell sex tape is for sale (dirtycolin.com). It might just be that I don't get the rush of taping coitus, but is it REALLY that wonderful that you risk a falling out with your partner, or the theft from you both? Sheesh.
Allyson, it is rough and difficult but if you can make it through and then break down later, this book is something you have worked really hard on for a long time.
Too predictable.This was the first WtD series I saw, so I didn't see the predictable -- but I did yelp a little. Now I just have to find a way to see the first four series.
Can I bill their parents for painkillers?
You should.
Allyson, box away the emotional reaction right now. (Yeah, I know. You can hit me for that some other time. ) You're entitled to a full meltdown later. Now? Dig inside for what drives you to write, your love of words on the page and go...I dunno, whatever it is you good writers do. Make out with it.
