This blog is going to be disjointed, so consider yourself forewarned. I have several things running through my head, and I really don't feel like sorting them out. And since I made a conscious decision not to edit my blog entries, (Oh what, you thought I didn't see the typos? Give me some credit!) this may be an incomprehensible mess. So, read on if you so choose.

Damn, after all that, I hope it's worth reading.

Michael Moore..the Academy Awards...and the boos. I saw the AA's. I heard Moore's speech. So, imagine my suprise when I saw the recap of his speech on ET, the news, CNN, etc. and the boos were much louder than I remembered.

This is why I am leary of the media. They show you what they want you to see...and doctor what you do see to suit them. Not the first time, won't be the last. Case in point (topic change), the media had no problem showing dead Iraqi's on television, but it would have been a tragedy to see dead American troops. Personally, seeing ANYONE dead is a tragedy, but if you just have to show dead bodies on the evening news, then show everything. It's war people, it ain't a chess game. People die in wars, we have monuments honoring those that have given their lives for it. We have days where we celebrate it and mourn it. Either show it for what it REALLY is, or don't show it at all.

Hooray for Jessica Lynch! I am so glad they were able to resuce her. See, it's what I have always said: don't mess with a West Virginia Chick! We'll kick your ass and take your name later! I hope that we are able to rescue the other POW's soon.

I've got 15 queries out at the moment plus I am waiting for a response on my book submission. I swear to God I hate the waiting. Why in the hell do I have to wait so long for an answer. Okay, enough about that.

I looking for other places to query and to submit my work to. I have been scoping out contests and anthologies, but nothing is jumping out at me. Most of the anthologies want happily-ever-after stuff, and as I said two posts or so ago, that isn't my style anymore. What I need is an anthology that caters to angry, bitchy writers who have sarcastic wits, sometimes unpopular opinions, and a screw you attitude. I do that well.

Well, I think that's about it. I have to work the dreaded "day job" tomorrow. I really should stop calling it the "deaded day job" since a) it's not a "day job" since I work the afternoon shift and b) I really don't dread going there. If I HAVE to work outside my house, then it's a good place to work. My problem is that I want to work AT HOME.

Anyway, I need to find places to sell my writing. So I am going to go and do that. Y'all take care
