Getting my gallbladder hacked out. I’d hoped, in my naïevete, to get some writing done in the week off work. But no. I also thought that I’d finish an involved novel critique I’m doing for someone, and that was also Not Meant To Be. I should get...

Um. Yeah. Laptop died. I kind of took the opportunity to go linux. Which means I had to import the script into Celtx, which I just don’t love as much as Final Draft. I’ll probably try to get Final Draft to work under wine as soon as I fix the video card,...

I just loaded every dish that ever existed into my dishwasher and ran it. No, really. Every dish. Ever. We broke into the neighbors’ houses and used their dishes and piled them up in our sink. Big medieval stoneware jugs, Greek and Roman pottery, 8,000 year old...

Things I need to do today: Critters critique. Work on script. Things I should probably do, but suspect I won’t: The dishes. Laundry. Things I probably shouldn’t do, but suspect I will: Go to Harry’s and grab some vegetarian sushi for lunch. Current...

I’m so tired I keep opening the word document with my story in it, staring at it, and closing it again. I think maybe I should just go with it and go to bed early. After all, I was sick last week, and maybe Daylight Savings Time wasn’t the best time to...

Of course, when I’m wanting to finish a bunch of writing, I get sick. Isn’t that how it always goes? Or is that just me? I also haven’t had any caffeine since Friday, and am thinking of making that permanent. I enjoy caffeine, but it’s bad for...
