Five years?
I just was looking back at my journal... and I got to the bottom of the first page, equaling 20 posts.. and the date was October of 2003. 2003, yah'll. Twenty posts in just over five years? Wow. Either I have very little to say or I just don't like posting my thoughts to the world. Or I'm lazy. Who knows?
Anyway, I will try to do better. I will. Like
lisa_moose I will attempt a weekly update, though if I get the new job it might be longer than that. And yes, the application for the new job went in yesterday. Everybody cross your fingers, turn around three times, and do the hokey pokey for a moment, and maybe the gods of employment will be kind to me.
In other news -- well, there isn't other news, really. It's Tuesday, my day off, and with three days of strategically placed vacation time, I'm working only two of the next eight days. Hats off to long weekends.
sideofzen, will you kill me if I ask you to make me a new layout? Abby is spiffy, and me still loves, but since I'm working on writing again, I kind of want one that looks more... literary. *shrug* Whatever the hell literary is, right?
I talked in my last post about the writing, andtcdale asked if I was going to post it anywhere. I wasn't planning on it, but I am looking for more people who might want to read because I could use somewhere else to go for feedback. I think that's the thing I miss most about when I was writing Conspiracy, I would write it, post it, and there was immediate feedback, normally within an hour of it being posted. With this one, since I'm hoping to send it straight for publication, I don't want to post it, so no feedback other than my beta reader. I have two betas, and a cheerleader. If anyone else would like to join either group, let me know. And don't be worried that I'll get upset if you don't like something: one of my betas just said I needed to cut the first 12,000 words and we're still talking. *winks at butterflykiki.
My final thought for the night? Lychee red tea with camu camu juice is good for the soul. That is all.
