Writing Like A Wicked Bitch
Well I am still modemless. *Sigh* Hopefully I can pick up one tomorrow. If I don't get reconnected to the internet soon I'm going to go into withdrawl...
I got a call today from Daphne. She is going through a very bad time right now with her ex. They have been trying the whole friends route and it isn't working out as well as could be hoped for. He is a spoiled child as far as I'm concerned. Though D has a lot of issues she is still working through. I totally feel her pain.
We are getting together next weekend because she has to puppy sit for a friend who lives in DC and is going out of town. Her friend suggested she bring someone with her, so I told her I would be delighted to come if she wanted me to. So D and I are spending from Saturday afternoon until Sunday afternoon at her friend's place. I am really looking forward to it.
Tonight was the first meeting of the season for the writer's group I belong to. It was very nice. It was held at the group leader's house. Just about all of our regular members were there, but much to my disappointment this cute guy named Ben (who came to one of our last meetings) was not there. *Sigh* Oh, well. He seemed a little interested me in, but knowing my luck, he is probably straight or attached. Well, no use getting upset about it. I know where to find men if I need them... The only thing that made things a little weird was the fact that many people brought there significant others so it was more than just the group.
Anyway, the meeting went well. But I must say that I was very embarrassed by the piece I brought. I have taken up Jenn's new writing mantra, "Write Like A Wicked Bitch," which has been very helpful and motivating. The only problem is that it is so freeing that almost anything is likely to come out. Hence my piece tonight. It is a scene from my still untitled novel. It doesn't really go anywhere specific yet. Anyway, the piece was about the main character going into a Gay bar and engaging in mutual seduction with a very cute man (far more exciting than my life presently). I was so nervous when I read it. Most everybody was stunned (as I have never presented anything like this before) and at least one person was a little, um, uncomfortable. 
I was so red in the face when I finished reading it (fortunately I haven't written the actual sex scene yet...). I did get praise for it and of course helpful suggestions as to where I could tighten things up. I am very inspired now to write more. Hopefully I will stay that way. I must admit though that reading that scene made me miss the club scene a lot, and in many ways hunger for the attention of a man... I guess I will have to strike out sometime soon... though that still remains to be seen. I must think of my budget (and those nipple rings I want to get but need to afford).
Well, tomorrow is the first day of the new month and my first day without a boss. Things will be very interesting. I am definitely going to have to get my files in order and buckle down a bit. I can't afford to slack now.
I also want to start an exercise routine again. I think I will aim for tomorrow. If I can just discipline myself to work out 30 minutes a day I will feel and look a lot better. Once I get a car I can get a gym membership and start building a hot body. The hardest part is keeping with it and staying motivated. Learning to tame my eccentric eating habits wouldn't hurt either...
