I'm still plugging away on 55. I got it done, but my wife thought I got one of the characters wrong and I saw her point. So more rewriting. I expect this section will need more massaging in the next revision. I hope to get past it this week.

I've started to read your script erika, though I'm not far enough in for opinions yet.

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

Sam has some interest from a couple of publishers, but I'm not putting any eggs in any baskets and trying to remain zen.

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

Ohhmmmm. (zenning with Allyson and Sam)

“Not dead yet!”

So, got bitch-slapped with a new story idea (before I've finished the last MS) last week. After lots of hemming and hawing and whinging about how scary and different and did I mention scary? it is, I'm diving in, feet first.

Even compiled a soundtrack, which is the surest sign of my intent.

Wish me luck.

Good luck Barb! I hope the writing goes well.

I'm hoping I'll get unstuck soon. I must vanquish this chapter so I can get past this revision.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I'm so excited: there are now 25 people who may want to take part in my pilot research. This is fab (and terrifying). I have to get my preliminary research design off the ground soon. I need to decide if I'm turning this stage of the research into an article (or some other publication form), or if I'm waiting till I've done some PhD work.
