Cindy, I'm okay. I've been pretty distracted and guilty feeling all week. And weepy. And my own kids aren't so super excited at my distraction.
But I have been writing. I have three things I'm working on, but the one I keep composing in my head is an abcederian about ita. sarameg and I started making a list of words that describe her. Then I'm trying to go back and mentally compose the paragraph that goes with each word. sara and I stopped when we got to Q, I think.
If you wanted to know the words I have so far: Audacious, Balanced, Charming, Devoted, Egalitarian, Fulsome, Gregarious, Hilarious, Integrity (this is the perfect word, but the wrong form for parallel structure) Judgmental, Kinky, Louche, Masterful, Nut-Kicking, Omnipresent, Polymath (and Precise and Provocative).
(Other two things I'm working on -- an article for a journal on the pain of learning, how learning is not some lovely process, but it's scary and pretty horribly challenging of personal concept and a piece on how to teach argument for a different journal).
Which is not my favorite prose form btw.
But thank you for tackling it. I know it is raw for you as well.
Now I want you to read the abecedarian, Kat. How absolutely perfect.
What better way? She'd cackle, that's enough.
FINE!
I am not sure which I find more disturbing. Maybe the vagankle for its creepy, serial killer vibe.
Oh my god Burrell, I'd have to finish it. Plus I need a Q word for ita.
I'd really like to put in a word for the one amyth linked, this one. She hadn't lightened her hair in several years, and in that one, she has dark hair.
Kat, quirky, queenly, quick (in at least two meanings of that word).
Those are all good. Hmmm...
Okay headed to bed.
