I once said "lol" out loud in a conversation instead of laughing. Unironically, too. It was bad.

Cats. I don't much like them. I miss my ex-girlfriend's cat. She was a good kitty.

BTW, that was really nice of you to spend your break reading poetry. Thanks again.

I need to do it more. I heard something on NPR today about how slowing down is good for the creative process, and I've definitely been squeezing a lot out lately. Reading is a key component of writing, so I was more than happy to do it.

I'm guessing that's what you refer to when you say 'cutting fat'? Either that or you've got a nice roast about ready to go in the oven.

Well I had some white meat chicken in the oven... which could mean I'm cutting fat from my diet. lol

Do you do your own editing CC - or hire someone else?

So I'm unpublished, right? As of right now, I'm editing my own stuff; I give it a couple of run throughs. Im hoping the first novel is good enough as-is to get picked up. If in a year's time it hasn't been purchased, I'll likely pay an editor to look it over and make suggestions for me. I would do that now, only having a book professionally edited is expensive and I'm on a budget.

I'm having a difficult time believing that tomorrow is the 28th of August already.

Sounds incendiary.

[CeramicCornflake]

With fire.

Sometimes, in order to find a solution, you must completely destroy a problem.

I've taken a short break to enjoy some poetry, now it's back to work!

[CeramicCornflake]

Im drinking cold tea and hot coffee. Getting my multi-imbibe on.

I'm about to reach the climax of my book. I think another 4-5k words will wrap it up. Then I can start cutting fat.
