you know i love it when you talk dirty to me
& THIS my sexy sweet friend, is EXACTLY why I drool over your every word.
*swoons*
I thought you might like this particular rant.
You have MY attention.
By the way, "Writing is an allergic reaction to life" might just get you into Bartlett's Quotations.
You like that Stephen? I'm impressed with myself that I impressed you. 
So that status update about your daughter and art... she got that from you? :-p
I laughed at the thank-you thing. My piano teacher in college taught us how to receive a compliment. Important lesson for the green room, I guess. "Thank you" is the way to go. 
I'm laughing at the shower bit, too. For some odd reason, finishing has been difficult for me. I get to a certain point where I refuse to go out or do anything or take a shower until it's finished. Last weekend, it ended up being 12K more than expected. Didn't shower for three days, LOL. Glenn was not exactly thrilled.
I don't tend to have hygiene issues except when I haven't written enough in a week. Then showering, and well, everything, seems to take way too much time out of writing.
I love this post. Love. It.
I freely cop to going unshowered in lieu of hammering out JUST ONE MORE paragraph (that I'll end up changing later anyway, but y'know). I will also admit to letting my children eat Pop Tarts for dinner because I was so wrapped up in finishing a scene that cooking just wasn't an option (sidebar: when your kids are 7, 4 and 2...they think you are God when you do this). I can get pretty shameless about it.
And here I am thinking that it sounds desperate, right? Like, yeah. I have my own scary version of a literary crack habit over here. But nope. You're right. All my friends think it's some kind of glamorous.
They have obviously not gotten too close on those "no-shower" days.
I love how you said (out loud and everything!) that writing is tenuous, messy, and horribly frustrating. Only people who *really do it* get that.
Dig it.
