• Jury Duty rocks! I reported for duty at the courthouse, and the lawyers only had to choose 7 people, so I was one of the lucky who got to go home (with $30 and a day off work to boot). Strangely enough I have no idea what to do with myself now that I’m home. I could go to the movies but everything out is crap. I could go shopping but I don’t want to spend a lot of money. What the hell do people do when they don’t work everyday?

    Still – a free day off, gotta love it.

  • There was a problem with the metro and I didn’t get home until almost 8pm. As soon as I think that I’ll actually have time for myself, something always happens. It seems to be a cosmic joke that’s always on me. I’m not ungrateful. I see bums on the street everyday and I thank God that at least I have a roof over my head. I just wish it wasn’t all or nothing. It seems like you either work all the time or you don’t work at all. The working part time thing never seems to work out I’ve noticed.

    Just a few random thoughts.

  • I started writing again last night. I looked at the time date on one of my stories and it said August of 2004. I couldn’t believe it had been that long since I worked on that story. I was still writing sporadically this summer especially around the time of the RWA conference but since then I’ve been completely dry of ideas. I think I got overwhelmed by all the information and just gave up for a while. Well it took Sue Monk Kidd 3 years to write “The Secret Life of Bees” so I shouldn’t feel too bad. Nothing worth writing happens overnight.
