Are you an essential grain?

1. I slept almost eight hours. Sure, I had to take half a Seroquel (which would be 12.5 mg) to get to sleep, but then at least I did sleep. I hate how I've become dependent on sleep aids again. And pills like Seroquel that aren't actually sleep aids, but allow me to sleep. I'm still very tired, but at least I know my body rested

I like to think so.

But it's not what people will expect.

I look forward.

Your work is already proof that "more words" does not equal "more impact."

And honestly? Unexpected novels are the best.

No, wait. Unexpected novels by someone who has proven her ability to convey more imagery/action/emotion into a simple phrase than most writers manage to drag into a paragraph -- those are the best. Yes.

Regarding being glum and pissy: Tis the season. This time of year, I'm always a little confused, initially, when I encounter someone who's not in a grump. And that's just among the normal, non-sleep-deprived populace. The lake effect shroud is extra stubborn this winter, and there's no January thaw in sight this year to make it all bearable for a few days.

One night, in the middle of some night when our Sasha was a very tiny kitten, my husband woke me up angrily demanding that I take my fist from out of the small of his back. When I'd finally convinced him that it wasn't me (I'd been sleeping with my back to him and had to show him both of my hands), he asked, "Then what the hell is THAT?", rolled over, and a tiny black bullet shot out from under him. Thirteen years later, she loves him madly...but sleeps between me and the edge of the bed

Optimism isn't my strongest suit, but who knows, maybe this will be your "break out" book.
