Playing hooky today, sssssssssssssssssh! I had to break the emergency glass and use one of my 'once in a lifetime*' excuses, but it's SO completely worth it! The weather's finally broken, the day is GORGEOUS, there's caffeine and meals in the fridge and a pudgy happy dog at my feet...it's just wrong to make people be at work today. Wrong. If I was king today would be a holiday and businesses would be forced to either shut down or, in compensation, give all their employees a nice two hour lunch at a good restaurant.

Ten more pages and....argh, no, that'll jinx it. I'll tell you when it's done. (WHEN it's done. Not if. I love being confident enough to say that.)







*The 'my mom was in a car crash and I have to drop everything and rush to her side' kind. You know what I mean. Which has the drawback of being REALLY awkward if I get spotted on the street, so it has to be for days when I'm either out of town or completely bunkered.

Ever meet someone online and like them, and then read some of their fiction and been like "ARRGH MY EYES MY EYES ARE BLEEDING" ? That's my situation right now with someone I met over at Yahoo.

Argh.

I should probably not even say anything.

No, no, someone needs to tell him that when you're writing fiction, breaking the text down into different paragraphs is a good thing.
