- Tonight I had the tact to not get in someone else’s way when they were making an ass of themselves.
- Emily Post would be so proud of me for minding my own business.
- The young man who accompanied Girlie Bear to her ball last night invited us to go shooting with him and his father at a local gun club.
- I must say, he’s taking the correct path.
- Irish Woman is off on a business trip in the morning. The most stressful part of this has been convincing her that I will not let the house fall down around us, the children will not die of starvation because they can’t eat my cooking, and that I am capable of juggling job and home.
- My boss has been very cool about my schedule for this week, I have a crockpot, and I do my best housework when the kids are asleep.
- Irish Woman hasn’t flown much in the past few years, and I explained how seating on Southwest works, as well as how getting through security goes these days.
- I told her she had the choice of the porn-o-tron or Uncle Bad Touch, and she wasn’t impressed with either.
- We got buckets of rain this morning and tornado watches this evening.
- No damage here, but others seem to have hit pretty bad.
- I’m starting a new project for the blog that will appear in the new year. Hopefully it gets me to post more often and actually put some thought into it.
- I think I’m going to have to replace our TV sometime soon. It’s started having some issues with picture, no matter which device is giving it signal.
- Seriously? Only 11 years of life out of a JVC? Y’all should hang your head in shame.
- Sigh, yet another consumer electronics rathole into which I shall have to do research.
- Plasma, LCD, LED, EIEIO
- Had to have the “You tried to write a novel before, and you ended up burning it because it was terrible” discussion with myself again. It happens every couple of years, and I’ve matured enough to know my limitations.
- Short rants and essays – good, and a great way to blow off steam.
- Short stories, the sillier the better – good, and a lot of fun to write.
- 250+ pages of derivative detective story twattle? – not so good.
- 1000+ pages written over two years, only to find that you’ve written a horrible knock-off of The Hobbit? – bad

/ November 19, 2013Never burn or delete anything you’ve written. For one thing, you are your own worst critic (we are all like this). For another, if half the book can be salvaged, that’s something – and in this case, something is a whole lot better than nothing.

/ November 20, 2013My problem is that I look at my writings and can see where ideas were stolen from. The Minivandian stories are supposed to be ripoffs of Conan stories, but when I write something serious and then realize that I’m robbing other people’s work, I get rid of it.
