I wrote a good poem at group tonight. Had a bit of a fight with Robyn. Finished my manuscript. And a rough draft of my artist statement. I mailed it to Maria, my mentor. I think it sounds pretty cool. I ate some popcorn. A boy came to writing group. I hope he comes back. He was kind of cool. Theme... Sign in to see full entry.

Today
My cold stole another morning. Takng cold pills is a bad thing for me. Maybe I'll try taking a night one tonight and then I will sleep. The poor abused gray cat is outside eating food again. At least, if Richard doesn't come back, which I think he will at some, I'll be satisfied knowing that I fed... Sign in to see full entry.

All about money!
Yay! I made payout! $5.13 (if I make no more money) more of the debt come 2/15. February is a big money expenditure month for me. I have to pay to pay 2 show fees and pay for PMN, plus I might need to pay for the Vermont Studio Center Contest. Plus I need to pay back a friend $300. It's a good thing...

My efforts to honor MLK have failed.
As you know if you read my other blog, I was sick when I was supposed to go to the MLK celebration. I'm not much of a holiday girl. I like Christmas but who dosen't? However, I always feel a certain affinity towards MLK. He's one of the few modern people who got a holiday for doing something... Sign in to see full entry.

On a Book...
I am listening to an Ender book, because it is due Tuesday. I'm on disk 2 of 9. I'm in 4th place in my story competition, with 66 points. It means I'll win $10 UK. Not a fortune, but still a win. All writers enjoy winning, even in small contests. I'm pissed that Orson Scott Card is brilliant. He... Sign in to see full entry.

Cat, sad...
I'm listening to Hot and Sweaty Rex on CD. It's a cool detective novel and I don't like detective novels, usually. My cat just appeared and decided (yes decided) to run away again. I think he must be miserable in my house. I think he must be allowed to move to a new house. I'm so sad, I nearly can't... Sign in to see full entry.

Good and bad things.
My cat being gone is a bad thing. But, my cat not being able to jump around on my printer is a blessing. I guess they're right. There's no cloud without a silver lining (except for cancer and HIV). I guess even those horrible diagnosis have silver linings, however, because then at least you know... Sign in to see full entry.

hey all
Am loving Know It All, which I just found out is abridged. Enjoyed poetry. Finished How I Met Your Mother? I've got season 3 to go. I've got a job meeting tomorrow at 1,000. Worried about my honorary niece, Shannon, who had surgery. I've had my blood drawn and tested. I ate mushroom ravioli, really... Sign in to see full entry.

Today...
Finally figured out what was wrong with my Dickens adaptation. Yay! That only took two years. I wonder if I should save the second part for the three day novel contest. I don’t know if I can wait that long! It’s all the way in September, and I’ve been trying to figure this story out for 24 months.... Sign in to see full entry.

Lost, found, lost.
I thought I emailed my friend Andrew a copy of my Dickens' story which got killed when the hard drive on my computer crashed and burned. So, I searched all my sent mail and couldn't find it. I'm going to try to email him tomorrow to see if he has it. Also missing is my cat and any inspiration to... Sign in to see full entry.
