Holy lack of postage!
I'm almost sad to see May go... After all of the epic adventures I had that month- Fryefest, Donna Morrissey, Trimedia N.B, Youtube fun- it's going to be a tough act to follow! I can't believe it's gone already!
To add to this ever-growing frustration is the AP upgrade- since I'm not posting there (I can't- I'm staff, and don't have the same rights to free speech as everyone else), I shall let it be known that:
I HATE THE FREAKING UPGRADE!
That site has been my home away from home (away from home) for the last five years, and I'm seriously thinking about leaving. I've cancelled my gold-membership, given up on posting anything, and just can't find the energy to do my job properly. Were I not so emotionally-invested in the place, I'd have already left- I've opened accounts on other sites, including Deep Underground Poetry and Writerscafe.com (they have agent listings there, too). I've also discovered the AAR Database, which is a great tool for writers- even if I'm not writing at the moment, I can still attempt to market the damn thing.
Onward & upward, I suppose.

This Writer Has Been Wresurrected!
Hello, hi!
My apologies for slacking. Now that I have a (semi-regular) job, with steady hours and pay, and am not sick anymore, I'm back at it. Back to this, at least, since my little Atticus (code-name for the novel) is still going under the proverbial knife for some major reconstructive surgery- more commonly-known as editing.
I just wanted to say that I love this little hole in the wall (and the internet), and am looking forward to posting here once again. :) I will also be contributing regularly to Our Pink Thoughts, a blog that celebrates both women and eco-friendly lifestyles (K would love it!), and is owned by Catherine Brindley-Jordan. Click the link above to visit her page, or check it out on Facebook.
Until next time,
L.

Thar, She Blows!
Yep. And does she ever.
Once again, not even spam in my inbox. I'm kind of disappointed, and starting to lose hope- the bookstore isn't keeping me, so it seems that the rest of my life is about to become the sad story of that writer-chick who just couldn't get out of the food-business... Like Steve Dublanica, except that a) he's a dude, and b) Waiter Rant was actually published.
As M. might say: "Life sucks, and then you die."
Way to go, M.
Maybe someone will redirect me some Twilight fan-mail, by mistake... that would keep me amused for a while.
Sigh.
