SOS

I feel like writing another book.

I never finished the one I started in November. I blame that on two reasons -- primarily I had no time for writing a book. But -- but more importantly -- I showed it to someone while it was still in progress. I should know by now that there is no quicker way to kill a writing streak.

I'm stuck (I guess you can call it stuck) with this new idea now, and I sorta know where it goes and I really know how it gets there, but I still don't have time to write.

I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow (but we still haven't packed) and I'm planning on taking this laptop (which has the screen the memory from the other Toshiba laptop I raged about a few weeks ago grafted onto the butt-end of a better, fancier Toshiba laptop I mistakenly ordered from Ebay thinking it was the same as the one I already had), a guitar, some headphones, and definitely a DVD player.

See, we're going to the beach, so I have to be prepared for all sorts of indoor activities. That's just the way it works. After all, I want to enjoy my vacation, too. And I like the beach, but not as much as other people do. I get tired of Sandy Crack really fast.

So maybe I will have time to write some book on my vacation. You know, while I watch all six Star Wars movies and write an album full of drum-machine-metal songs and watch the baby for 19 hours a day. I'm sure that'll work out just fine.

My wife wants to know if I'm sad about watching the baby.

I think she is stupid.

One time when she was xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxor injured or whatever.

Now she's telling me I can't post this on the Internet. And I shouldn't be a fucking asshole and she's gonna be fucking pissed.

She shouldn't say such things if she doesn't want them known around the world. Or at least as far as the three people who might find this. Damn censor.

I'm all for you writing another book. I certainly would read it. I hope you have a good vacation. They're supposed to be about doing the not-work. Not-work doesn't have to involve beach. It can involve music or book or baby. Babies aren't work, are they?

I for one, think you should be a fucking asshole. Why not?

Babies aren't work!!!!!!!!! That's the best comment ever.

Second -- I was just today thinking that, since it appears likely that I'll actually be settled into my new house well in time for November, I ought to start greasing the wheels now for doing another Nanowrimo.

Whaddya think?

I think you should finish that other one you started cuz I liked what I saw of it and then you went and passed the damn mark for completion WITHOUT ACTUALLY BEING DONE. Dammit.

Yeah. I agree, except I never will. SO if/when I do nanowrimo this year my goal will be the regular goal set forward in the nanowrimo by-laws and conflagrations IN ADDITION TO my own fancy goal of ACTUALLY FINISH THE FUCKING STORY IN THE FUCKING FINISH OF THE FINISHING OF THE FUCKING BOOk.
