I think part of my writing spirit needs to be fed on a constant diet of 'this is how your craft goes' or alternately 'this is how the industry works'. o_O Mom got me a used copy of The Making of a Bestseller as a late birthday present. NOT because she finally clued in, but because MY BROTHER wants nothing more of me than to see me published.
SIGH.
I should be grateful she's getting the hint from someone, though. e_e Wish that it were me. I've only been saying I want this for the last, oh, FIVE YEARS NOW. -_-;
How this relates to me is that I've found all of ONE of these books I couldn't finish (If You Want to Write by Barbara Ueland, or something of that sort. >_>; ), and all the ones I can finish lend themselves to me wanting to pound on the keys until the sun goes down.
Of course, this generally means my basic health goes in the toilet, because I forget to eat. e_e; Uh.... I think we need to review this.
Meanwhile: HARDBOILED EGGS :D. Also, cranberry juice, and very shortly, bathtub and laundry. n_n
Must clean kitchen this week. Absofreakinglutely. e_e;
