no testicles here, bub
feeling much better today, a remnant of exhaustion but i will take the better and run like hell with it.
"That Girl" was rejected by SP.... another one to add to the rejection pile. i knew i should be hearing about these pieces soon... i sent nine of them out last month and i really need to get more out there, i've just been putting my time and effort into The Blood for review on saturday. i think i have it where i want it, like i said, i cant look at the damned thing anymore. its funny how a story will grab you like that and not let go.
the thing behind The Blood... it started off as a writer's prompt from FTLOW... i started writing it, and when i got close to the end i realized i hadn't included some (well okay, MOST) of the elements that were required. so, in the last paragraph i threw them all in there, and the ending was pretty funny. BUT... i don't write funny very well (at least, i don't think i do) and the story tugged at me and tugged at me until i re-wrote it.... and changed the ending.
i'm very interested to see what the crew thinks of it.

so what's on the slab for today? i'm not sure... i'm just feeling grateful i feel human today, i think donna has to go to the dentist (ok, i would rather eat broken glass, myself) and i would like to take another look at "That Girl" and maybe send it out again. research some markets, (a never ending chore.) tuffy got the quilt and called me... she LOVED it. *phew* she absolutely loved it and even took it to work to show it off, so i'm hoping for orders to result from that. no lie, i need the money so fingers are crossed... but i dont mind having a little time off from the machine to work on writing. i have done precious little of it lately and i miss it. being exhausted is not conducive to creativity, i'm finding.
it's all a balancing act, isnt it? i wonder if i'll ever get good at it... as i might have mentioned before, it's balls out or nothing for me, when i'm in a project it takes as much as i have.
passion. that's what it's all about.

i got a notice in the mail about my youngest.... seems like a boy grabbed her and tina smacked him and told him to leave her the f*** alone. (is she her mother's daughter or WHAT heehee) and i cant punish that. how the hell am i going to punish that? the guy was lucky to come away with a hand still attached to his body. she said he apologized to her later, and they went to a mediator and got it all worked out between them, so that's cool... but i'm sure not going to rag on her for doing something about someone stepping over her boundaries. i wonder if it was a guy smacking a guy if this would have ever gone to the principal, but i know i'm just banging my head against the wall thinking about shit like that. and why was that kid grabbing my daughter in the first place??
some days i feel like i'm alice in wonderland and cant figure out which side is up.

still and all, i'm glad i don't have testicles.
