Book stuff:
I have <10,000 words to go. I'm in the right place, with the right word count, and I think I'm actually going to make it out alive (and with a completed 190,000 word rough draft).
Hell, my main character may make it out alive! Right now, he's arguing with God, being driven by an archangel, and about to find out what happens when God and the Devil have an argument. (Answer: Fucked if I know yet.)
But I finally realised today that if I write 2K words a day, which is very doable, I could have the draft done within a week. Sort of creepy. And then I can start the circus book that I don't want to be about a circus!
Job stuff:
I don't know, but what worries me is that I'm not worrying. I mean, I should be freaking-the-fuck-out, given the collapse of the economy (side note: BofA is the devil) and all, and I have very few resumes out, but I have no real sense that I'm in trouble (and I'm not, yet, but that time is coming).
Weird.
Other stuff:
My apartment is fully clean for the first time in weeks, and all extraneous furniture is gone. That feels pretty cool too.
Election stuff:
Oh my gawd. I'm actually really having fun with this one, mostly because McCain and Palin seem to be specialising in Fucking Up Bigtime and I love it. I've got to get back into political ranting - there's just too much there to love.
McCain thinks the economy's great? Palin isn't qualified to lead HP - nor is McCain (according to that great judge of morality and skill, Carly Fiorina)? Obama and Biden grew a pair and started attacking the Reps for their shit about the economy? Palin isn't allowed to speak to the press without accompaniment after her fail at identifying the Bush Doctrine? McCain is looking as old, confused, and doddery as he is - and people are saying it? The only thing the Reps have to attack Biden on is that he's an old white dude, and the only thing they have to counter Obama's popularity is that hey, McCain's for change too, and is too totally a maverick, despite siding with Bush and only breaking with the party when it's going to be a complete clusterfuck for him? (See also: Role in the Keating Five Scandal, statement that Wall Street should be regulated.)
EVERY DAY IS LIKE CHRISTMAS.
I don't even have to continue to harp on the fact that I'm not convinced Trig isn't Bristol's kid! They just keep giving me more and more and more to work with! It's like a party! With gift bags!
