Friday 5
1. Today is the last day to send in your PERSONAL WRITING GOALS FOR GRAPEMO. I will be posting The List tomorrow. Hurry, hurry! Naw, don't hurry. I'm not going anywhere. :)
2. OK. After talking with my agent, I decided to do a synopsis and polish up a few of the few chapters for her to take a look at. So THAT will be my Grapemo goal. Tomorrow I'll spend trying to wrap up the end, but whether I do that or not, my goal still stands.
3. Last night I was screamed at and threatened and every generation of my family was cursed forever and I was called every name under the sun (and then some) and even had coffee thrown at me--and I STILL did not sneak out for a cigarette. I think I'm cured. Woo-hoo!
4. I'm reading New Moon and I'm hooked. Yeah, I admit it. I know lalam is very proud of me. I ignore the holes, and I cringe at every "was" and "would" and "has" and "I felt' and "started to" etc,. but damn, I love the story and I see why kids do, too.
5. Beth and I started a diet. NOT low carb, which is i-m-p-o-s-s-i-b-l-e to stick to. Just watching the calories and eating much smaller portions...yanno, no overflowing plates of spaghetti followed by an equally generous second helping, etc. And I've been told that owning a four slice toaster does NOT mean you're supposed to eat 4 pieces of toast at a time. Also, buzz gum is a very effective appetite suppressant so I don't think I'll be weaning myself off this any time soon.
Unless my hair falls out.
