"...it's, like, better than losing?"

You know, Joe Fox says that The Godfather is the "i-ching, the sum of all wisdom, the answer to any queston..."

Well, I dispute that. To me? It's Bull Durham. There's always a pertinent quote to be culled from that movie.

Anyway: I won! Now, I'm going to have a much deserved movie night with my family, without who's patience I could not even attempt to write 50,000 + words in 30 days. Thank you, Chris Baty and Co. for a wonderful "30 days and nights of literary abandon." This aspiring author totally appreciates what y'all do.


I'll see y'all in a week or so...

More Ignominious Self Aggrandizement

I like big WORDS and I cannot lie...

I'm not exactly tearing up the field, but I'm holding my own.



Staying just a little ahead of the daily goal, my word count is healthy even if my plotline is anemic.

Editing. It's what December is for.

Shameless Fist Pumping

Weezer is the Funniest Band in Rock

When I'm pounding on boards or sanding floors or puttin' graphite on doors,
to make the time run smooth, and get into the groove, and really enjoy what I do,
I hum.

And at least 60% of the time the tune that ambles unbeckoned into my head?
Sum'ing by Weezer.

I love these guys. Enjoy.

Oops I did it again...

I think I'm beating a dead horse with that title...it's been a looooong time since Ms. Spears could be considered an innocent, if flirtatious schoolgirl...

Showing my unhipness aside, I'm doing it again. Hopefully, in about 26 days, that badge'll change to "...2009 WINNER!"

I'm cooking along, with a respectable bank of words right now, suffering a smidge here and there of that form of anxiety particular (it seems) to writers: self-doubt...but I just tell Self Doubt to shove it! Heheheh.
