Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Thanks Amy, Sox, and Gudanov. I realize that I need to push through my resistance to writing, whatever the hell it is that keeps me from ever finishing a project. And plot is a big part of my resistance.

I've got the plot, I just hate my character in this scene. And if I skip this scene and do the part I want, I'll never get back to it. Like saying you'll eat your green beans after you eat the mashed potatoes.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Endings are my great white whale; they task me, they task me.
Next chunk is up; this section is unfinished, but maybe tomorrow, the good Lord willing and the Russian spambot trolls don't rise?

Because books.
Wow, to be in the presence of the last True Artist writing today! This rationalization is so huge, it's bigger than Jared Padalecki. I sort of can't believe people let him publish that.

Congrats on the writing JZ.
After some note-making, thinking, and making an outline of plot adjustments, I think I'm about ready to start on Cog rev. 4.5.

Amy, that article is, I believe, part of a genre that is becoming more common. The confessional,where the confessor is admitting to having been an enormous asshole without realizing he is revealing he is STILL an enormous asshole. I say "he" because I have yet to read a female example of this, though I'm sure it happens.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Fewer women have the luxury of being enormous assholes.
And thus I want great books, books for our own time, written by those who have staked everything on literature, not just a couple of years in Iowa City.
Bless your heart, Alex. You're working for the New York Daily News. If you had staked everything, you'd be in a garret typing feverishly.

Because books.
Isn't it priceless, Ginger? I was stuck between appalled and amused.

Enormous asshole is right, I couldn't even finish it.
