Kickin’ down the cobble stones
Okay, so I’m in the home stretch with nano, writing like crazy. Oh, and all the stuff I had on my list to do before I took on nano? Yeah, I still have all that to do, too. Like all of you, I have more to do in a day than I can possibly get done, and yet… I waste a lot of time. Case in point. I came up here at 10:30 pm to write this post. It is now after midnight, and I’m just getting started. What was I doing for over an hour and a half?

I didn’t see it coming. I think that’s good. I mean, I hope he’ll be all right and all, but the fact that his collapse surprised me is a sign that I am writing with a certain degree

Okay so my real, exciting post today is over at isca media. It’s about my Director’s Assistant gig. I feel so important – in an absolutely second banana sort of way! And recently Luke (of isca media) and I met to talk about what neato things I could write for them. (He didn’t say “neato.” He’s British. He probably said “smashing” or “fab.” Or, wait. That might have been me too. I do go on.) Anyway, we came up with some very cool spread-my-creative-wings sort of ideas th
