Well, the check from the deadbeat relative never arrived. Good thing I didn't hold my breath.

The job with my mother-in-law is not working out. I'm simply needed too much at home. Besides, it may become a mute point if I move.

My husband's job interviews went very well. I hope he gets the one that is out of town. I really, really need to get out of Louisville. I need a new house, a new town, a new outlook on all that I do.

I'm in a rut and it's affecting my writing. I want to cut out all the side crap that goes with living here and get back to what I really want to do - and that is write.

I want to hold a book with my name on the cover. I want to do book signings and readings. I want to be with the "convention" crowds and the excitement it contains. I want to be able to let my fingers spill the words they so desperately want to pour. I've got tons of ideas, both for books and short stories. I want to be free of all the dead weight that has made the joy of writing a sin to pursue.
