"All alone, thank god."

A rainy day, but at least it's not too cold.

Yesterday will go down in the History of Me for two reasons:

1) I didn't take Lamictal. It was the first day since April 2010 that I didn't take Lamictal. It's out of me, and I'm done with it. My mind is going like a race car, but I feel better. My racing mind will adjust.

2) I received my first ever ( Read more... )

Good luck with staying off the meds.

I'm just at the point where I'm contemplating switching from Citalopram to Zoloft because I'm grinding my teeth and jaw to hell.

Having a head going 200 miles an hour is rather shit. I find white noise usually helps for me but I know everyone's mileage varies.

Ow.

I suspect it may just be something approaching the normal speed of thought. I've been slow a long, long time.

I'm glad to hear it.

So, the last time I received any income from Penguin on this novel was twelve years ago. Until yesterday. Apparently, after twelve years, the book finally earned out. And I have a check for a whopping $82.28.

I was listening to a radio show hosted by someone who had a very small role in the movie Elf. He mentioned he receives a six thousand dollar check every time the movie's shown on television. Some industry.

This is what we call a Reality Check.
Indeed. Perhaps you could splash out at Paper Nautilus?

Glad to hear you have decided on the fate of the Quinn novels. It seems like the series is something you need to have done and out of your system.

Good luck with the reworking, I hope you don't have too much mucking around with the thing to get it sorted.

Yes.

Everyone dies.

The end.

If that actually did happen, I would derive a great deal of morbid enjoyment from seeing how you make it go down.

Damn. Did they restart the count with the mass market?

I honestly have no idea. But I wouldn't think so.
