Don't write a crock of shit, Barb. Excuse me, CROCK OF SHIT.I was so pissed at him when he called Piven a "thermometer". But it was also kind of funny. I was going to tag that, but you know what? the voices in my head scream at me enough. And Billy Walsh *totally* needs to send a memo like that to Drama's next series..or maybe it can surface in the Five Towns production office.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Barb - have you thought of making one of your characters sparkly?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Perhaps furry, if the sparkly does not appeal? Carmen written from the POV of a chinchilla would be, quite possibly, the BEST THING EVER WRITTEN.

All my characters sparkle with wit and charm...actual gleaming seems redundant, baby. That's how money I am.

Coding and Sleeping
None of my characters are sparkly, clearly this is what's holding me back rather than inadequate prose.

Thank you, Beverly!
Man, last night's insomnia fest is really starting to kick my butt. I guess if I'm starting to crash now, planning a half-hour drive through the NC backwoods at 10:30 might not be the best idea. Damn it. Tonight's ground school night.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Barb, it's not megalomaniacal to want to put the work in to become a great writer. Seeking whatever means to hone your craft is a sane and rational way to express your ambitions. It's not like you are asking us for Willow's Magick Spell for Making Publishers Buy Your Stuff. I'm sorry I don't have any better insights for you.
Monster Mash!Shanie is darling and makes me smile.
Anyone else hearing "Dead Man's Party"?
I am now.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Go home sick, nap, get up and go to ground school.

Wait, wait, wait...
Have y'all been holding out on me?? Hm????

Strictly speaking I am home--I'm working from home today. I'm feeling like hammered spam while lying on the sofa. And if I'm gonna go to ground school I leave in an hour and a half.
I'll see if advanced lazing can help me feel better before then.
