Warp Four, Sir? No, That Is Too Damn Slow
My weekly post at the Midnight Hour is all about four rules of characterization. I almost forgot about it, this week has been so crazy.
I’m about to go get the car out of hock again. Good things: a new timing belt and brakes, not to mention serpentine belt and tie rod. I shall drive with confidence now, knowing that user error and not mechanical failure will be the biggest of my problems.
As usual. Just like life.
And why, when I have tons of work and a copyedited Valentine 5 to go through, do I want to do nothing but work on a story that will never sell, that is the literary equivalent of Twinkies? Why, I ask you? The Muse is certainly having a good laugh at my expense, the wench.
I so need some time to myself. I need to go to the track, put my headphones in, and just…walk for a while. As soon as the DHM comes home, I think I’ll need that more than anything. I don’t know how single mums do it. Well, I do know, because I’ve done it when the Princess was small. But goddamn. It’s hard work. Why more single mums don’t come down with psychotic breaks from lack of rest I’ll never know.
Have a good weekend, Readers. I am officially declaring this Be Kind To Yourself Weekend. Do something nice for yourself, no matter how small. It’s the only way to get through. And to get things started right, here’s the Star Trek Rhapsody. I LOVE this.
