(Second-worst or worst: because I live on the town line, hardly anyone delivers.)

Paying to join a public library Tep? Sacre bleu! (But I'm spoiled with a good public library system, plus the two college libraries right in town.)

xp; yeah, you only have to pay if you aren't a resident. When I was a kid, we joined the Nashua Library (the town I live in now, but not then) because it was so much bigger that it was worthwhile. But that was $60 or so in 1980s dollars, so I guess the $100 for the smaller library now is cheaper, in constant $.

The show is Hipbilly Jamboree. You can stream it from there if you like. The sound is a bit whack, but I hope you can hear the joke where he claims to be Anna Nicole's baby daddy. I think it starts around 8:34 in.

I have an 8:30 mtg, at my place. that's far, far too early.

So you're a writer? How cool and interesting! I have a couple of published writer friends (Maryjanice Davidson and Emily Rapp), and I am so amazed by their careers. Actually, I'm even just amazed at the idea that - at least in MJ's case - she has to motivate herself to get her job done.

Motivation can be tricky. I'm currently working on an "easy 100,000 word novel" (that's standard length) as a break from my giant 250K-300K novel that I spent all last year working on, because spending that long on something without finishing was giving me a weird remix of cabin fever. It's exactly the kind of thing that would normally be a terrible idea -- usually that's how people wind up with eleven first chapters and no final chapters -- but I think in this case it's the way to go.

Tep - wow, a 250K novel?! I can barely motivate myself to read 10 pages to study for a quiz lately. Your motivation is impressive and terrifying!

i've had some articles and stuff published before but I'm aiming for a book, preferably fiction. Not an easy or short term task but I think it's doable before I die. Not like wanting to be a rock star or model or something.

Yeah, it's big. Starts in the 50s when the protagonist is 13, goes up to the 2010s or so when he has grandkids. I'm 80K or so in right now, in the mid-1960s. Multiple viewpoints, the works. This is my big one.
I've just been doing this so long now, though, and made it such a focus, that I don't really know how to not write. Anything's easy/easier if you do it all the time.

81?! It is in the high 30s and low 40s in Minnesota and honestly, after that last couple of weeks, it feels tropical. I'd take 81 for a day, though.

Poems are hard to me! Fewer words are harder to write since you have to be so much more careful with them.

The only thing I wrote yesterday was answers to a physiology quiz. Answers I did not know, btw. (Thankfully, the prof drops our two lowest quiz scores. But I'd better improve by next week.)

I once created a file for one of the biggest Bollywood film stars. He had great press shots of himself. I wanted to keep them and hang them all over my cube.
