Feeling very good about the outline I just wrote. After spending three days pacing around my computer in agony, it all flowed out in a 20 minute typing spree. It's a good episode - I'd watch it.

Now I too will be one of those creepy people trolling about Venice Blvd, although please feel free to shoot me if I ever start wearing a fanny pack.
Finished Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, read all of The Writer's Journey in one sitting, and have moved on to The Tommyknockers. I've been horribly disappointed by the last three books I read. Let's hope this one is worth the time.
