- 18:20 Going to attempt writing tonight. I’m sure it’ll be in vain. #
- 20:40 Managed to get a whole scene done! (Only took 5 fucking rewrites and 10+ pages to have soemthing to distill into 2 pgs of something useful.) #
- 21:28 Hey, looks like, typed out, I got three pages out of it! Now, WTF’s the next scene…? #
- 07:22 Friday! (Thank Christ…) ♫ blip.fm/~10noc #
- 10:58 Wrote for 90 minutes this morning, and still don’t have a clear idea of scene #2 of the WIP. #
- 10:58 And so far, the only good thing about The Diamond Mines today is the Bryan Adams on the CD player. #

- 07:38 Today’s one of the few times this year I’ll allow myself not to stress about what I’m not getting done. #
- 07:38 I await the bird… #
- 07:47 Guess which one of the "10 Kinkiest SciFi Books" I’ve read tinyurl.com/5mx3fe #
- 15:00 I’ve tried, but now I’m starting to feel guilty for being this much of a lump :). #
- 16:43 The brrrd is almost ready! #
- 17:51 And now, the food coma… #

- 07:42 No trace of whatever ailed me yesterday. That doesn’t mean I feel good this morning :). #
- 07:51 Yesterday was Doctor Who’s birthday! www.bbc.co.uk/archive/doctorwho/ #
- 07:57 Another rejection. "Well-written" and "moving," but not enough story arc. Well…out to the next, soon as I figure out where. #
- 11:31 Equilibrium’s getting fuzzy again. Not a good sign. #
- 17:43 Not the only one suffering from dizzy spells, it seems. So have some coworkers. Hmm… #
- 20:22 "Don’t get excited, just get your head right and we’ll stick together if it takes all night…" ♫ blip.fm/~vg4l #
- 20:25 My body refuses to cooperate with my mind, despite the caffeine. Bastard! #

- 07:11 You know what? I’m going back to bed. #
- 10:13 Feeling dizzy and nauseuous for no good reason I can think of… #
- 15:35 Have been on the couch in and out of consciousness all day. Think the world’s finally stopped spinning, now. #
- 17:54 Can’t seem to remain upright for more than 10 minutes at a time. Might–MIGHT–just have to accept that nothing’ll get done today… 🙁 #
- 20:22 Thoroughly disgusted with having been on my back all day. Won’t go to bed until I accomplish one thing, if it kills me. #

- 07:44 Something to get the blood flowing this morning. God knows I need it. ♫ blip.fm/~ube1 #
- 07:47 Suddenly in the mood for more UK R&B. ♫ blip.fm/~ubeq #
- 07:59 Surprisingly not that hungover. Almost feels like I’ve done something wrong :). #
- 08:00 I think I’m going to spend the morning trimming down my reading queue. Then I’ll write. Later. Promise. Depending on how things go. #
- 08:42 I defy you not to find a character you can relate to in this story: tinyurl.com/6po2lg #
- 09:07 The First Amendment is just way too much freedom for some people. tinyurl.com/5pruc8 #
- 13:06 BeTwittered’s failed once too often for me today. #
- 13:06 So much for getting things done this afternoon: OSU vs. Michigan’s on!! #
- 14:25 81 yd. punt return!! Bwah-hahaha! #
- 14:25 And now, the TD!! #
- 14:28 What can I say? You can take the boy out of Ohio, but alas (tho at times I wish you could)… #
- 15:15 "Our honor defend we will fight to the end for OHIO!" ♫ blip.fm/~ugch #
- 16:26 Have to root for Michigan State, now. If they beat Penn St., then OSU goes to the Bowl! #
- 18:01 95% done with last (easy peasy) homework assignment for skool–almost a MONTH ahead of schedule! A total first for me!! #
- 18:09 OSU’s prospects don’t look too good right now :(. #
- 18:42 Well, at least OSU beat Michigan… #

- 07:32 Trying to go the distance, but I just wanna crawl back into bed and blow off the morning. Can’t. ♫ blip.fm/~ttyh #
- 10:33 Rewrote the intro to the latest story for the 3rd fucking time. Almost junked the whole thing. #
- 10:34 Did make some minor breakthroughs. Finally accepted that this story’s going to take some actual construction. #
- 10:49 Wondering how accurate this "Slang of the 30s" is: tinyurl.com/33z7rc #
- 11:07 Can’t believe I’m going to take the time tonite to watch these idiots: tinyurl.com/5oexrl #
- 11:07 Have we figured out that I’m in no mood to do any work whatsoever? #
- 12:42 Need a core dump. What if I just junked all my Google Bookmarks, del.icio.us links, etc. and just started over…? #
- 14:23 Gave the piece another (better?) title and did a scene breakdown. Better sense now of what I have and where I need to go. #
- 14:25 Y’know, I write decent scenes. The story blows because there’s no coherent thread…yet. #
- 16:44 Autopilot has set in… #
- 17:57 Planning to get comfortably numb tonite…before GHOST ADVENTURES. #
- 19:46 Can I muster the energy for pizza and beer that isn’t delivered straight to my mouth? #
- 22:17 Back from an evening with a fellow Ohio transplant. Full of microbrew. Will top it off with a little wine, now. #
- 22:23 These fools are so much more entertaining when you’ve had a few: tinyurl.com/5oexrl #

- 07:24 This’ll wake me up. It’d better, ‘cos I feel like going right back to bed and hibernating. ♫ blip.fm/~tcls #
- 12:08 Walk to skool was less treacherous today. Still uphill, though. #
- 12:09 Is it wrong to bump a story collection down on my reading queue because there are 2 interlinked novellas in a row? Oh well… #
- 12:27 This just might save me from my next writer meltdown (which I’m sure is coming very soon). "On Writing and Sanity" tinyurl.com/67awyj #
- 15:27 "I’m on a ride and I wanna get off, but they won’t slow down the roundabout." (The ride’s called "Work.") ♫ blip.fm/~tk3l #
- 16:37 So. Burned. Out. #
- 17:26 "I demand to have some booze!" #
- 17:57 @CoyoteWild About as well as it worked for Withnail. I’m almost at this point: tinyurl.com/5buvqr #
- 19:52 Got the kettle on, my favorite mug, the teabag ready, and more importantly, the Tullamore Dew. #

- 07:01 Wine buzz helped me clean up my draft. Didn’t help me with new words, though. #
- 07:02 If I can get some new words in today, then maybe I’ll do some problem sets for skool. Maybe. #
- 10:52 Loving the campus "walk up and down these icy stairs at your own risk" policy they’ve got going. Maybe it’s to thin out the herd? 🙂 #
- 11:08 Have the perfect writing/skool compromise: sneak in some problem sets at *work*–duh! #
- 11:56 Live Piracy Map 2008: tinyurl.com/5jfncp #
- 12:35 Plan to do skoolwork during work work hasn’t worked out so well so far :(. #
- 14:34 I had the problem sets out, the book open, pencil in hand…and I just zoned. It was a 1000-yard stare kinda lunch hour. #
- 18:24 Feeling the pull of an indie bookstore sale… #
- 20:35 Didn’t buy anything…on sale…at the bookstore. Guess my new-book-guilt must be assuaged a bit. #

- 07:04 Okay, I finally admit it…it’s cold. #
- 07:06 Build your own antho with some decent SFF authors-Tobias S. Buckell, Cat Rambo, Jay Lake to name a few: tinyurl.com/5td7z3 #
- 09:05 I have to walk uphill in the snow to get to skool! Both ways (not really)! #
- 12:43 Class was too productive to get any writing done 🙁 #
- 12:47 Updated my rejec…I mean, submission log. Sad, sad sight. 🙁 #
- 13:29 OMG! A r.l. version of a John Kessel alt.history story I read just last night: tinyurl.com/69d7pf #
- 13:37 The aforementioned alt.history story "The Invisible Empire" by John Kessel: tinyurl.com/5tt5dq #
- 18:02 Blowing off skoolwork tonite for writing. Gonna straighten out my new intro, and then take today’s frustrations out on my protagonist :). #
- 20:24 Might’ve had a little too much wine to write much… #

- 07:02 "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow"…christ… ♫ blip.fm/~rxms #
- 07:04 Duh! The aforementioned story "where two queer psychic cops infiltrate an occult BDSM nightclub" is online: tinyurl.com/5dxpww #
- 11:03 Funny what you can do when you sit your ass down & force yourself: like 1 pg of new words, a rewritten intro, and a tentative working title! #
- 11:12 Wondering if I’ve done enough writing to get a jump on skoolwork tonite. Nah. #
- 12:33 Paid The Man his parking ticket money–damn vultures 🙂 #
- 14:15 Lunch hour totally unproductive, thanks to faulty electronics. Music electronics, that is 🙁 #
- 15:19 Sun was shining at lunch; looks like nuclear winter out there now 🙁 #
- 16:41 …and the rejections start to stream back in, coming home to roost, as it were. #
- 16:42 New life dilemma: take a workout class 2x/week on skool nites? Worth the 14 hr. days? #
- 18:06 Looks like the class is only 1x/week. Still might not be the smartest thing to do right now, even tho I’m pretty flabby anymore. #
- 21:27 Once again, learned the lesson "don’t skimp on electronics." #
