So I'm struggling...


with the whole home life, health issues for the man, Internet, writing, promoting-promoting-promoting thing. Not to sound like a melodramatic asshole, but there are days I am tempted to run around and delete everything. Wipe myself off the face of the Internet to a degree. But I don't. And sometimes I bitch to those closest to me. Today I bitched. I simply felt overwhelmed and panicky. There's a lot going on.

Haven sent me this. And it is possibly one of the funniest, most dead on, brilliant, wise and wonderful things I have ever read. And it made me laugh. And helped me find a little perspective. Basically, I've pretty much been doing it right, I just drove myself insane thinking that maybe I wasn't.

Every writer should read this. And that's something I'll rarely say.

p.s. photo is one I took two nights ago playing with boy child's camera. I think it shall become a book cover. But I wanted to use it pronto. Love it for some reason.

Bloody. Brilliant.

Thank you for posting. I definitely needed to read that.

I might bring it to my publishing class.

Oh, I love that. About how the net should be a converesation. Because I've never approached it as anything else, or realised I should do.

So good — and was that a Silence of the Lambs reference in there to boot?

I have an acquaintance who makes her whole living by branding. Whenever she talks to me, smoke starts to pour out my ears. I swear!
