I finished the first draft of my short story Turtle's Mad Dash. It is the longest story by far that I have written. I was working for the first time with more complicated sentences trying to break up the pattern of my tight, short writing. After a couple of revised drafts and a run throught the writing group and it should be ready for submission. That's my goal. Write. Revise. Submit.

I had a day off of work and deserved it. I went out to Shelbyville early to have dinner with the ex before my Clear Creek Writers Group meeting. She was in a dither about her sister and brother-in-law. Her parents built their natural rivalry into an unhealthy one a looooong time ago and it doesn't look like it will be fixed anytime soon. My ex also has some issues she needs to deal with herself before she goes fixing her other relationships. I said issues like a true child born in the fires of therapy. Next I'll be yakking about boundaries and passive-aggressive qualities.
We had a good meeting with a new member. I have grown wary of our extended roster but I was motivated to write over a thousand words on my short story when I got home so....My goal for the new year is to write a plethora of stories and find a home for them. And to exercise more diligently. And pilot the space shuttle Endeavour straight up Leonardo DiCaprio's no talent ass. Aim high I always say!!

Mood: The Lobster Blues
Word Count: I got nothin'.
Well UK lost by a crap load yesterday so all the hillbillies will be calling for Coach Tubby Smith's head. And unfortunately that was the highlight of Saturday. Today was our semi-regular Sunday family dinner. My youngest brother and his wife brought their new puppy Bogey over. He didn't get along with Cameo, my parent's older dog. Then my middle brother showed up with his wife and new son. Middle brother must be stressed out or something cause he got mad that we were letting the dogs sort out who was boss. He has a legendary temper anyway. He just gets so furious so fast that I feel the imminent violence ready to leap from him. I think he is going nuts with his 6 month old son but he has been on vacation all week. That boy needs some anger management. I think I piss him off more because I stay calm instead of getting riled up with him so he can direct his anger at someone. Oh well that's the end of my Springer moment.
TOP MUSIC OF 2002: The Be Good Tanyas, Flogging Molly, Moth, Nappy Roots(KY rap and it's good),Public Enemy
BEST CARTOON: a 3-way tie between Invader Zim ( which was cancelled) and Justice League and Samurai Jack
WORST MOVIE IN 2002: tie between XXX and Reign Of Fire. If you want to see a good Vin Diesel movie rent Boiler Room.
'nuff said, Rob
