it's ok. he's watching tv and I'm on the computer. plus he's watching a cartoon where one of the characters is being a royal brat - the parallels are even clear to him.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

I'm watching Walk the Line on tv (I've seen it before,) and I know Roseanne Cash and her sibs weren't happy with how it portrayed their mom, but honestly, Viv comes off as someone he really did do wrong and not at all unsympathetic. I feel bad for her.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I was just telling my mom how bad I felt for Johnny Cash's first wife from that movie (I am watching, too). I mean, I love Johnny and June, but poor Vivian.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, I'm going on this grad school alumni outing tomorrow, and now my friend who had also signed up is bailing. Because she "still has stuff to deal with in the new apartment." That they moved into a month ago. Annoying! I'll still go, but I was looking forward to seeing her.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Suddenly, the often once-or-twice discussed Buffista Cat F2F has become feasible....
I am so there.
Having written a book, I can say that much of my stress over it was Writing What I Want vs. Writing What I Know They Want. Writing to your audience is pandering straight up. That's not the debt you owe. You write to satisfy your own standard first and foremost or else you're fucked. You write to please your idea of what a good book should be.

An ironic time to peek into natter.
I thought I'd pop in real quick before I start delving into chapter 18 again. I have no audience to worry about.

Please yourself then.

It's not ironic! It's coincidental!

And the part about how having a fan rewrite your novel is the height of flattery just made me want to grind my teeth. Fan-fiction is one thing-- groovy, rock on, I just don't need to see it, for a variety of reasons, some of which are legal. But rewriting? NSM with the flattery.
When they say rewriting, do they mean a fan rewrote it the way they thought it should be? Because I don't see the flattery there. That sounds like, "Nice try, but here is what you should have done."
