As of tomorrow

As of tomorrow, I am going to be good.
I will get to my desk earlier, go to the gym and get on with Teh Writing.
I will spend less time playing stupid games and looking to see if anything interesting is happening on the internet.

In preparation for this I have:
deleted Bookworm
stayed up far later than I intended looking to see if there is anything interesting happening on the internet...

Pigs may be sighted flying over my house, I but I intend to try, at least, because I want to finish The Drowning Kings, do the rewrites on Grass King and get to a point where I can start Gracielis no. 2 (which needs a title. But I have Ideas!).

The f'list is invited to throw brickbats at me if I seem to be loitering too much online.

Skirt of the day: green maxi-dress, in fact.

I did start making a heap of brickbats, just to have them ready; only then I realised that I don't actually know what a brickbat is. So I tried making a heap of cats instead, but they, y'know. Won't stay heaped.

being good tomorrow - i know all about that sadly! :(

if you're down to trawling the internet, suggest maybe another push for Sakineh and Sajjad? (Lots of developments while you were away - see http://dorispossum.livejournal.com/8806.html and other posts for details. I know this is a case you've been committed to in the past)

I've never been sure whether a brickbat is a bat made from a brick or a bat for batting bricks (in which case it would need to be very heavy duty). Failing that can we send virtual bouquets instead?

Yay books and writing! I will gleefully encourage you. I'm trying to do 1K a day. What is your goal?

I'll use a brickbat on you if you promise to reciprocate!

I want you to write for entirely selfish reasons: I want to read the results.

Good luck with the new regime!

Can I come? I've been absolutely useless the last couple of days. I've been contemplating a post on the different varieties of slacking and what they mean...but too lazy to actually write it.

A brickbat is the flat thing you use to put bricks in the kiln when you're going to bake them. Kind of like a cricket bat or a pizza bat.

Me, too. After I set up the ancient mac to replace the ancient mac at the store which appears to have had a severe head crash and died. This took six hours of today =/.

We can be strong together!

I have a whole envisioned way of organizing my life but I haven't been able to manage implementing it yet.

This was my plan, too. We all need a 12 step program or something, don't we?
