Yay, book! Go erika. Want more book.
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
tentatively peering into thread
Um. Hi. Some of you are already on my LJ friends' list, so you know that my muse has kicked me in the butt of late. I was wondering -- how's the water? Should I just jump in here?
Also, several people have commented that I should be distributing this stuff more widely. I'm a shade nervous about that, and Buffistas are the folks I trust the most, so I think I'll start with "distributing more widely" by inviting the folks in this thread to browse my (very short) LJ and give me any criticism they see fit.
Thanks for listening, and indulging a newbie.

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
I finished up two more essays, started another.
I keep finding myself ripping from old journals and posts made to various message boards, as well as emails.
It's amazing how much I write in a day, just in this cyber medium.

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

Welcome, Karl! You will be a most welcome addition to this thread! Mostly we post in-progress and excerpts, and people critique and hair-pat. We talk about the business end of things too, and sound advice is given. Oh, and we do the weekly drabble thing, 100 words on a topic from Teppy every Monday. So definitely do jump in, and have fun. I'll check out your lj (my userid over there is fatoudust).
Yay, you, Allyson. Yeah, it's crazy. While I'm NaNoWriMoing I'm so conscious of word count, that I keep thinking about the number of words I'm putting into posts (and not putting into the novel).

Thanks, everyone...I thought about quitting cause it seemed silly or superficial.Whether or not, it wants to be more than maybe I do.(And some mystery writers are/were highly political individuals, so it wouldn't *have* to. Be silly and superficial that is.)

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
erika, go write, damnit.

Hey erika, come sit in the I Will Never Get Over How Silly and Superficial I Feel Corner with me and write anyway.
It feels really really good.
