If I could have gotten Alex to eat that as a toddler I would have been over the moon. <br /><br />I hope you're right about my ducks. I'm getting pretty sick of them.<br /><br />Oh.

I got this lady across the street and she manages to give me a hair cut that looks pretty good when I do absolutely nothing to it. You need my lady.<br /><br />100 pages!!!! I wish I could take you out for a drink - that's a great week - congrats!Molly O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171236688541657736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-47611775795641561862010-09-13T14:40:12.890-04:002010-09-13T14:40:12.890-04:00Oh my gosh - tomatoes aren't your fault.

Am I supposed to have done something right already? <br /><br />I made it to work on time and packed a nutritious lunch for my high school junior. <br /><br />Writing-wise, I'm pretty much done with my rough draft after blowing off all social engagements Friday and Saturday and staying up until midnight Saturday to do it. It's rough (I'm afraid I'm with you with all the loose-ends, etc.), but it's done.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803986849921870941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-7307656434580943882010-09-13T11:35:51.802-04:002010-09-13T11:35:51.802-04:00I suck at hair.

Sometimes curls work, sometimes they don't. Basically I've been blowing out the same boring cut forever. <br /><br />I went through this Meg Ryan phase for years when I thought I could pull off short and cute... I couldn't.<br /><br />So now it's long and I suck at it. Which product to use, when to spray all of it.<br /><br />What I did right this week... 100+ pages baby!

And the tomatoes aren't your fault. :)<br /><br />Sometimes I think that because we can control our characters' lives, we start to think we can control everything. ;) I know I have a tendency to blame myself for stuff that's not my fault. Even before I was a writer.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-72710282309723927382010-09-13T11:14:59.118-04:002010-09-13T11:14:59.118-04:00It's so much easier to think of things I suck ...It's so much easier to think of things I suck at... but I feel like I should force myself to think of something I've done right. Since I know that, like Molly, one thing I suck at is forgiving myself for my shortcomings. Hmmm... <br /><br />I worked through to the end of this WIP. No, I haven't finished, but I think I see a route through to the end. Are there problems? Yes. But at least it's not all just a mystery, now.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-19633933954784870432010-09-13T09:18:51.763-04:002010-09-13T09:18:51.763-04:00What I did right this week was mostly luck - I stu...What I did right this week was mostly luck - I stumbled on the right packaging to bundle up my book for a raffle and make it all look great. On the other hand I finally had to admit that my tomatoes are dismal. They're small, rock hard and doing their best to turn red anyway before first frost.Ryshia Kenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10950150149473063859noreply@blogger.com
