The most important thing is that it doesn't bore you, erika. Making it non-boring to others is work for another month.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

You go Anne!
I'm at 911 words. I forgot yesterday, and today has been a little hectic. I want to get to 3000 by the end of the day, though I'm going to have to wait until the babies go to bed tonight, because they're being distracting and seem to think they need mama attention.
Theo, a half hour later, and this just sunk in:

Thanks. Amazing how freeing that thought is.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I hit my goal yesterday and made 2547. Today may be tougher because I've got a shorter day (four hour Navajo church services!) and I've got to write a newsletter, and a donor letter today, too. Also there's football on. So we'll see.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah, you guys are right.I've just gotta do it and trust that I can sort it out later.

Getting hung up on "getting it right the first time" has slowed me down so much in the past.

Lizard, stuff you're thankful for, right?
D'you mean my tagline, erika?
(for posterity--
Ice-rinks in summer, well-made pornography, the voice of Amy Ray, the voice of Brian Molko, the voice of Mark Morford; too much hyphenation, too much candy, Catholic grade school, the federal library system, love and luck.
)
It's, yeah, but it's more of a origins-of-me (or -us) thing-- it was written when Reema and I were larkily setting up a fake Amazon.com wedding registry and they asked for a 255-character description of you.

Yeah, that's what I thought. And it's a little early, but only a little.

If I only had a brain...
673 words. But I caught a good solid glimpse of the plot.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Didn't write a damn word today. Thought I'd flee to the refuge that is the Buffistas for affirmation, when I realized that this might not be an affirmation motivation time, but a motivation by ass-kicking time.
Nonetheless. Here I am. Didn't write a damn word. Didn't write the newsletter either. Didn't even watch football. Watched Joe Schmoe and the Practice instead.
I did, however, cook, launder, haul firewood and play with the dog. I suspect that my life is a reality show.
