I am sooo close to being done with this story's first draft. Why is writing so hard!? Why the hell doesn't anyone care?! Why do I?!

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Why do I?!

Because it is your story.

Thank you Funny Girl

Don't tell me not to fly I simply got to. If Someone takes a spill it's me and not you!...

Ok I'm still getting very nervous. I wish they'd stop talking.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Why is all of this going wrong all of a sudden? I know I haven't been as productive lately as I should be, but that doesn't mean that everyone else has to screw up so badly too.

If the house falls down around your ears when I go, it's really not my problem anymore.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Someone could have mentioned that the property changed by over 5 feet. Then I wouldn't have been wondering why the house we are designing doesn't fit, when it actually should.

I wish...but wishes aren't real so...

I wish...but wishes aren't real so...

Just because wishes aren't real doesn't mean you shouldn't. Just putting it out there makes a difference. To you at least.

Remember, if you smoke after sex you're doing it too fast. ~Woody Allen

Also, finished a story, but can't edit, because it's all just a bucket of words to look at after working so long on it. Trying to start something different while I let it ferment in its bucket. Maybe I'll get ale or, even better, mead! Will probably just get vinegar, or worse, fetid ooze with a green scum.

I have a party to go to today

Reminder to self: Do not attempt BIW again during the same week as your Fantasy Football draft...something is going to suffer....either your writing or your team...

GRRRRRRRRRRR


(And yes, I am counting my posts towards my goal....)

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Went to a fun party today. I had a good time

I just wish there had been more women there. Some single women would have been even better...

Sex on the television can't hurt you unless you fall off. ~Author Unknown

The new story to take my mind off the old story "is a hoot" as we say here in the Bible Belt.

I vamped up my female char in shiny, squeaky, sci-fi latex and gave her tall, stiletto boots and a subby boy, and we're having all kinds of fun together!

It's a damn good thing I haven't been running a bond fund the past few years; I'd have been completely, perfectly wrong.


Never— in my wildest dreams— did I ever, ever..., even briefly consider the possibility that I'd live to see a 10-year Treasury bond priced to yield 2.25%.


It is utterly insane. Would you lend money to ANYBODY for 10 years to earn a maximum return of 2.25%? I sure as hell wouldn't. Inflation is already running 3.6% ( trailing 12-month rate as measured by the CPI). The odds of losing value from either higher interest rates or from inflation are extremely high. I cannot comprehend why anybody would buy that piece of paper. You're virtually guarantied to lose.


...and the 5-year Treasury priced to yield under 1 percent (0.96%, to be exact )? You have got to be kidding me! That's crazy. Somebody or something is really fucked up.

Those "off" days are still better than no days at all with the one you love.

Why is someone from the Philippines looking at my OK Cupid profile? I won't even go across the Hudson river for a date...

That's kind of limiting, isn't it? Maybe you need to broaden your horizons.

There is a huge population on this side of the river, New Jersey being the most densely populated state in the country and all.

And I hate paying tolls. I avoid them at every opportunity.

And I really hate New York City.

Hmmm.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

And I'm betting the account is deleted by the end of the week, if not the end of the day. It just looks phoney.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Although it has become quite clear to me that local women (within an hour drive) don't like me...

When a guy goes to a hooker, he's not paying her for sex, he's paying her to leave. ~Author Unknown

Read my Xashi story over, and it sucks. I can't do passage of time or transitions worth shit. Get me in the door, and I'm great at describing what's happening and what's going on in their heads, but moving from point A to point B, either in time or place--bad, very bad.

Use ***** and move on the the next scene.

Old scene.

*****

New scene.



Just that simple.
