random tuesday
random link -- Hello, boys and girls. This link is going to help you a lot. It's not just for authors; it will work for anyone who needs a crappy excuse for why they didn't do something. Here are some gems.
random update -- everyone said it was crazy, everyone said it wouldn't work, but I'm 13K away from finishing this thing. By my current estimates I should finish on Thursday. Yesterday was a long-ass day for me. I wrote 7K (yeah, you read it right), and then at 11pm I waded into Guide for the bazillionth time and did some more comma wrangling. I had to get it done or I'd have thrown off my writing schedule for today. The other option was putting it off until Thurs/Friday but my editor said she needed it Friday, so I cowboyed up and got 'er done. It was almost 2 when I crawled into bed, though, and I'm tired as hell. Anyone tells you writing isn't work, you punch em in the face.
random pr0n email -- Got another funny one, this time from Annabelle. SEXUALLY EXPLICIT -- old school cartoons fuck like wildebeests. Really? Awesome! I hope they have some Granny / Sylvester the Cat videos. And I always wanted to see Porky do Elmer. My dreams have at long last come true.
random endorsement -- I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I saw Music and Lyrics over the weekend and I liked it. Hugh Grant imbues the role of aging popstar with an incredible amount of charm, and Drew is not her usual perky self. In fact she's downright neurotic, but it works on her. It's a happy two hours of mind-candy, and it doesn't make you think too hard, but it's clever and funny and cute, and it breaks a number of rom-com conventions. For instance, there is no courtship per se. On one occasion, Hugh tells Drew she looks "mangy". I died laughing. If you like your rom-coms on the quirky side, this might surprise you.
And th-th-th-that's all folks! Back to the grind for me.
- "Charlton Heston forced me to destroy Bill Clinton."
"Jesse the Body was visiting my trailer." (And you know you don't take off on Jesse the Body.)
"I was teaching my child how to clean our AK47."
"I was busy fidgeting." (I like that one.)

Thanks, TK! I'm on the home stretch now, and I even know where the book is going. Just gotta get there.
Tomorrow I'll shoot for 5K again and Thursday I'll see if I can wrap it up. I might let it roll over to Friday instead of killing myself to finish. Just depends on how I feel. Regardless, I will have written 50K in 2 weeks. :)
Congrats on your monumental progress. 7k! That is freaking amazing!
DQ, even if you don't like Drew, I think you still might like this movie. She isn't her usual self at all. The character is quite a departure for her, and like I said, it's not a typical romantic comedy.
Ha, Cora! Is it terribly wrong to admit that, after reading that pr0n email title, I am now desperately curious as to how wildebeests fuck? I want to watch on National Geographic or something. I imagine it's like horses, but I am no expert.
