Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Wankerific!

Ooh, I wonder how many books he's written? And where I can buy them! So I can burn them.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ooh, I wonder how many books he's written?

A lot, clearly -- after all, real writers have written LITERALLY MILLIONS OF WORDS. (Even if his are mostly in his LJ).

Wankerific!

Seriously, because if you're not doing something professionally, you should never ever try it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And obviously there's no one out there who is paralyzed re-writing the first sentence of the book they have in mind, so the whole exercise of shitty first drafts is clearly useless.

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

It's just...he had to have REALLY sat around thinking of reasons to be mad and then worked himslf into rageland.

I mean, I think it's a really neat writing exercise. I also think those people are Writers. Authors.

A whole mess of them may be shitty writers. Seriously, who cares?

I am so happy I finally got a space heater in my office this week.

This is on my list for next week. My office, which has no window, no heater, no ventilation and no actual light other than the floor lamp, is FREEZING. And lest people think I'm sad about my office (except for the temp which I am sad about), I LOVE My little closet because the one thing it does have which I desperately need is a DOOR.

Dude needs to chill. People who write are writers. NaNoWriMo is just an exercise in writing. Lots of writing is for the writer's sake alone .I don't think this is that much different.

I think some people have this idea of success or talent as a zero sum game. If any one is doing what they do, or heavens forfend have any success at it, there's less...I dunno...writing for them to do.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

You know, sometimes I need some kind of external motivation to get my ass in gear and get my job done-- some kind of short term, group pressure. Like the "time-dash" advocated by 43 Folders or the other mental tricks propounded by Neil Fiore and GTD. I guess I'm not a lawyer like those ones that work without structure!

Speaking of which, some days I love my job, like how I get to respond to total lunatics claiming I violated their constitutional rights.
