You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

I do think that if one is scattered and random by nature, not a reliable self-starter and natural procrastinator, getting one's backside into the desk chair for a certain period of time each day is a good way to be handy should the muse wander by.

Huge motherfucking wrod.

t scratches self I am such a lazy writer that only the weekly impetus of writing assigments for class gets me into the state of mind where I'm productive. If I were disciplined enough to schedule my work, instead of letting it slide, I'd have written the short story that's been nibbling at me for months. I'd have put together my poetry ms. It's really lucky for me that I have this organic talent, because I don't practice *anywhere* near enough.

If I only had a brain...

Oh, God. The Word Autosummarize feature is hilarious. (Tools | Autosummarize, tell it to put the summary in a separate document, then pick the ten-sentence summary.)

Protagonist: Rosamund Nemanjic
Rosamund nodded. Rosamund nodded. Rosamund turned to Katrin. Rosamund considered. “Nicholas! Nicholas shrugged. Rosamund tensed. "..., Highness?" Rosamund exhaled.

I guess you can see why she's the protagonist, huh.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

(blinking)

Must go see what it does to mine...

edit: "this feature is currently not installed."

Maybe just as well...

Oh, I love that thing! I have gotten way too much enjoyment from plugging text into it and snickering.

My entire NaNo so far (which it counts as 2542 sentances) reads:

"Connek?"

"Connek?" Connek cried.

Connek guessed. "Connek?" "Lesky!" "Bob! "Bob!" Modryp.

"Lesky!"

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Or my current mess in progress (Ray is the narrator):

"Fraser?" "Fraser!" "Fraser, Fraser, Fraser." Fraser blinked. "Constable Fraser," Fraser says. Fraser nods. Fraser whispered. "Hey, Fraser!" Fraser sighed. Fraser nodded.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Huh, mine was something like, Jane, Jane, Jane, Sara, fuck, fuck, Fuck. There's a lot of frustrated swearing in mine.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

What is this NAno thing y'all are talking about? I prolly don't have time, but it sounds interesting.

OK, this is interesting. It's the current column of Murder at the Flatiron, from my publisher's website. It's written by my editor, Ruth Cavin.

I'd love to think the "manuscript we are publishing next year" is "Famous Flower." But that's probably reaching.
