*Warning* This will undoubtedly be my most scattered, random post ever…continue at your own risk.
I had a rocking weekend writing-wise. I finished my first full length novel and now I have to pimp the crap out of myself to some New York publishers and agents.
I have a list. Doesn’t everyone have a list. Or maybe I’m the only OCD freak list maker out there. Ah, well. I go with what works, really.
Here’s where we get to the meh. I finished, right? I should be totally ecstatic. Like roll me over I’m giving my O face kind of happy. But I’m not. I’m so let down here. I expected to be bouncing off the walls about this, but no. What a crock. I got totally gypped here!
I blame Shelli. Why? Because I can. And I’m a mean, nasty, vicious writer-diva that way. She’ll thank me someday. I’m just not sure for what. She’ll come up with something though. She’s a writer; she’s creative.
So, to drag myself out of the non-high depression, I sucked down about a quart of Rocky Road ice cream and four frosted sugar cookies (the really soft ones that you know have enough preservatives in them to keep you minty fresh fifty years after you croak off). Then I started three new books last night. One is super short, so I should finish today or tomorrow. The other two are going to be parts of different series.
*Update* My sad, sorry backside decided it wanted to be even more chair-butt shaped because I started a FOURTH story today. Yeah. I’m crazy.

OMG U R crazy. 4 books? Like at once? You’re one of those chicks who could have like five husbands and multi task so they never knew about each other.
And what’s this blaming me bit. I’m innocent I tell ya. In-o-sin.

I blame Shelli too, for lots of things. It’s fun.

In-o-yeah-right Shelli!
And I live in Utah now, I think they have a rep in this state for multiple spouses. Maybe I had a hidden agenda for moving here.
And HA, Feisty! I knew you’d know where I was coming from. It’s all Shelli’s fault!

It’s fun to blame Shelli huh? Poor Shelli.
I don’t think your problem is OCD. Nooo, your problem is Overachiever Syndrome. Course, I’m one to talk huh?
Um, point here. Somewhere. Oh you find it k? I have like 4 wip’s going on.
