Poor Allyson. Sarameg, ita and Consuela all have good advice. I hope you can find a way to feel unbroken quickly.
Just call me the computer whisperer.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
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.

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

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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.

My neighborhood is weird. A guy in garage coveralls, a hardhat with a lamp and a large spotlight flashlight (off) just staggered off towards the train fence.
Sigh.

On House, for the record, that's not BWI. BWI is dominantly greys, whites and reds, not beige. I don't think there is a single beige area of BWI. And much more open, except in the halls you end up waiting to go through security.
AND there is no hotel within BWI. Just saying.
edit: god, everyone is having a life, sleeping or pursuing productive endeavors, huh?

Sara, I was watching TV, saw an ad for Miracle Foam, had to clean my bathroom, and then I took a nap.
Not sure what that was about, but I do feel a little better.

See, PRODUCTIVE!
Sheesh.
