Yesterday, I did 1,552 words on Chapter Five of The Red Tree. At this point, the manuscript is 51,435 words long, or 206 pages. And, as usual, I have no idea how this novel will be received. I do not know how my agent will react, or my editor, and especially not readers. This is probably not the novel with which I will win over Middle America. I ( Read more... )

I just reread Cabal about a month ago. Still such a great book.

My friend Corey made me a version of Decker's mask. It's awesome. :)

Palin scares the fuck out of me. I so wish I could just dismiss the thoughts and what ifs as you can.

I was at the skybox the other night. The decor is great! I also wandered around the sim some to still can't wait to get started on the buildings and that stuff. Do we have a street map we will use to lay out all that stuff?

Oh, that not what I meant by "whatever." As much as I might desire to, I can't dismiss this crazy bitch. She could be the end of me. But...having resigned from the human race back in 2003, I'm not entirely sure what my role in this particular sick comedy is supposed to be.

Yes.

And here I was all set to be jealous. Can I get an app to resign to? Sounds like a very good idea at this point.

No application needed. I just...let go. Humanity is an easy skin the shed.

Here's more about Palin's crazy fucking church. Apparently they're the same lovely group we see in Jesus Camp, and I'm trying to pass this around as much as possible, so that more people don't continue to see her as Hillary Part Deux.

Yep. That's in the article I linked to.

I told my Canadian fiance that the perfect words to describe Palin were "The Ugly American." She is one of those people who go to foreign countries and say things very loud and slow in English because, of course, then someone non-American will understand her.

I am so glad I get to flee this country.

Thing is, no one flees America. Not really.

I love how people are slinging around "experience", as if surviving in a dirty, back-stabbing business like politics is a good thing. Palin's kind of the other extreme, she's scary as hell because she's so obviously the anti-christ a master to have rocketed up the ladder so quickly.
