Met Neil Gaiman last night. And I mean met in the vaguest sense possible. He signed a book that I had purchased, and he smiled at me, and I nodded. Cuz I'm a pratt.

Do they ever! I put some in with my green beans, and they are dee-super-licious.

Sometime last week, we took my dog in to get her nails clipped. My dog is a german shepherd. She does not suffer her nails to be clipped lightly. Anyway. On the way home, I sat in the back of the car with the dog. The struggle had worn her out, so she was just sitting and panting. We had all the windows open, and...

You ought to be a professional motivator! I'm totally going to go finish it all right now! Did you ever get around to reading it?
velocity:
My god, I think you've just written the great American novel. I want 10% when it gets published.

I have just finished reading issue zero of Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers. I am happy. All is well.

Attaboy!
Klarion is the best book in the series so far...

This was a bad week for me. Every once in a while I get sick of my job. I mean, I'm always a little sick of my job, but this is more of an extreme reaction. I have trouble being polite to my coworkers. I have trouble getting out of bed in the morning. When I get home, I'm so depressed that I can't work...

Yeah, it might be a fair race if I cut all your fingers off. I'd rather cheer you on than handicap you, though. I'm okay with the pace at which I write. This one's going to be illustrated, so it gives the artist a bit of time to catch up if I'm slow. Plus, I probably spend as much time knitting every day (or more) as you do writing.

I would, by the way, be very interested in reading something you've written.
velocity:
Psh, I doubt you're shit. I'm a firm believer that practice is what makes a person a good writer, and the only thing dependent on talent are the varying degrees of good. You've had much more practice than I have.

This has been a dreadfully long day. Having a little trouble focusing. I just feel out of sorts. Fucking tuesdays.

It was fantastic.

Today is frustrating. Today is a four hour speech on why I should quit my job, load everything into my car and drive for the coast. Today is everything that's important to me getting ignored, and everything that is base and shallow and pointless demanding minute by slow fucking minute. It's a whole lot like fucking crazy.

So. Things have been better. But hey, they've...

At this very moment, I'm imagining what Guinness and honey popsicles would taste like. I have a thing for popsicles.

My god, man! What could possibly be more important than bunny watching? When that's the most important thing you have to do, it signals that everything is right with the world.
velocity:
Better? That's how good it was.

Props to the Discovery. I wrote this after Columbia, two years ago. Thought it could use drudging up.

"My earliest memory was standing in the Johnson Space Center, looking up at this thing. They had most of it suspended in clear...what is that stuff? Lucite? I don't know. Anyway, the bulk of it was in lucite, especially the tiny stuff, the ceramic flaking and the...

Things have been busy. An unexpected funeral for a friend of the family, ramping up for the website, and what seems to be an endless procession of story ideas have kept me nailed to the wall. But this seemed important, so I'm writing it.

We have baby rabbits. A squirming, inchoate hive of slick little baby rabbits in our yard.
velocity:
Oh my god, I want a baby bunny. I'll wait until they're no longer slimy, though.

I went to a bookstore yesterday. Before I went in, I swore I wouldn't buy any books. I managed to only buy four books, so that's pretty good. Thing is, there was a sale on the classics. I ended up getting Moby Dick, Frankenstein, Poe's Mysteries and Poems, and The Picture of Dorian Grey. I kept picking up and then putting back down Dracula, Leaves...

Well. It's been a little hectic, in that "doing a lot of things but not getting anything done" sort of way. La femme is on the verge of quitting her job and going freelance full time (being a graphic artist, it's an easy thing to do) and so there's a lot of "we're about to lose half our steady income" tension going around. It's not...

Yeah, I guess maybe there should be an emphasis on indulging on food like fresh fruits of veggies which are as eucharistic to me and also not, well, muffins covered in butter.

Some friends and I have started the complicated process of setting up our own website. Right now we're going to publishing our own fiction, cuz we're pretty much sick of New York deciding what can and can't get published. What's getting put in the magazines isn't what I like to read, generally, so I'm gonna pull a DIY.

Sounds like a great idea. I'd love to see what you come up with.
velocity:
Yeah, but it's got to feel amazingly cool, doing what you really want to be doing. I'm at the same point, starting to devise plans for starting my own business, and it gives me a little rollercoaster thrill every time I think about it.
