- I’ve worked so much this week it’s the time equivalent of having an 8-hour job plus a commute. It’s ridiculous and much needed. I’m grateful and really tired and just set a goal of eating dinner before 8 p.m. tomorrow.
- On Easter not only did I manage to teach my mom how to play Draw Something, I also taught her how to “text” her iOSed family members from her iPad. She thinks she’s totally cool now.
- I showed my writing group that formerly known as The Chicken Fingers and currently known as The Black Sheep but may well be known as Cookies & Beer soon the very first pages of the very first novel I have decided to write. They didn’t die from choking on their own vomit and I didn’t die either. So that’s a good thing, right?
- Oh yeah, I decided to write a fucking novel. A NOVEL. It terrifies me and excites me. It’s the first idea I ever had for a novel. I was beginning to think I’d never have one.
- In other, more surprising news, I’m reading two books right now and they are both non-fiction. It’s like I don’t even know who I am anymore.
- If you don’t realize you forgot your wallet in the truck until after the cashier has rung up all your groceries you wont’ die, you’ll just feel like dying.
- I haven’t done my taxes yet and I think that might start causing some sleep loss up in here.

Congratulations on the novel. To mere mortals undertaking such an endeavor seems overwhelming. You have talent and I wish you nothing but success.
@todd, I’m totally overwhelmed, but my writing group is the most awesome thing on earth. I’ve seen them do it which makes it a little less daunting.
Yay! A novel! I can’t wait!
@Christa, You say that now, sister. As soon as I have something that resembles something other than stream of consciousness BS, I’m sending it your way.
Count me in. Totally. I’d love that.
Yay! ‘Bout time that novel starts getting written! You’ve got several of them inside you waiting to get out. One at a time will work. And i haven’t done my taxes either. If i can find my W2 maybe i’ll do them tonight. :o/
wunderbar about the novel! and it’s about gosh-darned time.
I’d buy it! Best wishes on it – soldier on!
The novel-writing class I took in college was far and away the most difficult I had. Writing on that scale is a challenge not everyone is cut out for, so I bid you sincere props for even considering it. (Perhaps someday I’ll get around to finishing that one I started for the class.)
And the no-wallet-at-the-store thing is not that bad until your groceries are bagged.
