Okay, so, for some DUMBASS reason, I made blogging part of my writing goals for the month of March. Wait, maybe I dreamt that..lemme check...

Damn.

Nope, wasn't a dream, there it is, #5 just above following up on a couple of queries I sent out, and just below finishing the Writer's Stew website.

I'm not sure why I even have a blog. I mean to me it's just a journal with a whole lot of bandwidth. I am inviting people to flame, spam and otherwise contact me. Of course for that to happen, I would have to post an email address.

Yeah, like THAT is going to happen. Well, maybe someday. But I doubt it.

But I have to confess: since I have been blogging, my other writing has improved. In volume anyway. Can't really see any difference in quality. But my writing was perfect already, so that could be why.

Oh, stop laughing. It wasn't that funny. I happen to be a damn fine writer!

Speaking of writing, this new gig I got is pretty cool. Those of you that might be reading this know exactly what I am talking about, but just in case a stray visitor is reading this page (Hi Stranger..welcome!) lemme explain.

I landed a plum writing gig. I will be writing books for young adults. I can't go into details...well I could, but if I told you then I would have to kill you. If all goes well, I will be making a decent enough amount of money that I will be able to quit the evil day job. I will be able to tell those clueless computer owners that were completely convinced that the CD Rom tray was for their coffee cups...and the "I know how to put a disk into my computer so let's change the administrative settings..ooops now, where did that pesky harddrive go?" computer users where to put their service calls.

Oh, what a happy HAPPY day that will be! I'm hoping and aiming for the beginning of April, but I could make it to the summer if God is good to me and I don't lose it, tell someone off and get fired first.

Of course, getting fired could mean that I could collect unemployment...

Now, I'm way too moral to do a thing like that. Ethics mean a lot to me. Stop it with the laughing, you are beginning to tick me off.

I have pushed back the launch of the ezine by a month. Now, instead of an "Ides of March" launch, it will be a "hope you filed your taxes, but if you didn't this is your last chance to keep the IRS guys from seizing everything but your underwear" launch on April 15th. Of course, for my husband, it will be "hallelujah, tax season is over!" day. For those of you out of the loop, my husband works for H&R Block, and he's REAL tired of preparing forms. As a matter of fact, if you mention 1040 to my husband his eyes glaze over and he slips into a slight coma.

Well, I think I have written enough to call this an entry. Sometimes I am convinced that I write just to read my own words. But, since I never read these things once I post them, I don't think that is really true.

Wait a minute..lemme check something...Dammit to hell! What was I thinking?

"Goal #7: Transform 2 blog entries into actual essays - find somewhere to submit."

I knew having goals was evil. Why couldn't I stay unmotivated and been happy selling flowers on the side of the freeway?
