whining again
I can't believe I've been working on this book for I think 6 years now--the longest I've ever spent on one project. Don't tell that to any prospective agents cause they don't want clients who they think will spend 6 years on every project!
I always learn some new writing technique with every writing project, but I can't even pinpoint one thing this time. I think I've learned a ton of new things. I think I'm much better equipped to start my new story... but I'm eager to start... but can't until this fricking thing is put to bed.
AHHHHHHHHHH!
(I would have captioned this: I falled on teh thornz uv life, I bleeds.")

House of the Day -- wtf!
Hard to believe this is someone's actual home, and not Herman's House of Fine Cement (after it went out of business.) I've included a pic of the interior, in case you don't believe me.

You'd have managed better if you had it planned...
But I do have it planned Judas! Cyrano Superstar - Nov 1st, 2 PM, at the Festival Theatre. We just have to settle on a hotel.
Next year Gilby and I will have to choose a Birthday Frolick in Montreal or Toronto, to cut down on costs--Stratford will set me back a wee bit of my savings (though the Sugar Daddy is paying for hotel costs, which shall defray my train or plane ticket.) (Not to be mistaken for the Regular Daddy who is paying for my trip out to Vancouver in 2 weeks.)
But it shall be worth it! Looking at next year's Stratford plays, none of them excite me like this year. I don't even need Earnest or Cyrano to be amaaazing (though the reviews are good)... I just want to see them live for once in my life. I never see plays, just read them.
Cyyyranoooo
Suuuperstaaaar!
And we'll be seeing West Side Story too... well I had to let Gilby choose ONE of the plays. (But really he should see Cyrano, cause it was Ayn Rand's fave play--for reasons I totally understand. Total Independent Against All Odds F**k You World Hero, just as she loved.) The Maria production is supposed to be great. But really, how can any show be bad when it has a dance off?? It's not the musical I'm most familiar with, but I expect a beautiful performance of Maria. (Not the how-do-you-solve-a-problem-like, but "Say it loud and there's muuuusic plaaaying! Say it soft and it's almost like praying" Maria. Gorgeous.)
Did you know it's, like, a 9 hour bus ride to Toronto (and then another hour or two in the Gilbymobile to Stratford.) As Cyrano would say: "NO thank-you!" The train is 4-5 hours, and that's probably what I'll choose--it's about half the price of a plane trip. But we'll see...
Cyyyyranooooo
Suuuuperstaaaaar!
Guess I'd better go to bed now.
