Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

I so want that job. Wow.

She's spent all but college in that community and been actively involved: youth groups, managing successful campaigns for two state senators, harangued one into signing on to a no-tolerance DUI law when she was in high school. She's working as a manager in a camera shop which loves her, but... she's wasted there and they pay shit. And she needs this.

I'm so intrigued -- that's the sort of thing I would love. Combining writing with working with kids? Awesome. (Of course, in that scenario I would be one of the "artists" and not the organizer, but whatever.)

I need to go back to school.

It's the bossy position, one she frankly is well qualified for, despite most of her formal work history (some of it makes her really qualified, some not.) It's totally not in your geography and I'd share the link but I'm being strangely protective and don't want to add to her competition. Strangely=not so much. She's had enormous strains that have sapped her confidence and stultified her career path. I'm kicking her ass, making her do what is so hard for me, front confidence.

Oh, that's not what I meant! I meant, one day, something like that, for me. I totally hope she gets it!

Oh, I know. I'm just being psycho.

Hey, you're the sort of psycho I'd like on my side.

Hee.

Hi writer people! I suppose I could have posted this in Press, but figured I'd get a better response in here. DH has a book in search of an agent, and I was wondering if anyone could get me Agent Kate's info so I could pass it on?

I don't know how much I'm allowed to say about the book in public, but it's nonfiction, entertainment-industry related. Not a gossipy memoir. My profile addy is good.
