When Madrigal asked if I was Astarte Rainbow (from another board, I guess) I actually snorted to myself.
Nope, not me...

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I started it way back in 2001. I barely touched it at all for months at a time, during the Great Job Search Angst of 2002. It's flawed, it's a first effort, and will need plenty of hard work before it's ready for public consumption. But...
I did it. I wrote a novel. I finished what I started, proved I had it in me, proved I'm not just a quitter, that I can push past my own laziness and fears. I wrote a BOOK.
No force in the 'verse can stop me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Rock on, Susan.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Susan, I got the nice agent lady over there. Whenever you're ready....
You done good.
