And now, the lazy:
You throw a dirty towel at the hamper in the corner of your bedroom, but you miss and it falls to the floor about a foot short. For three days you don't bother to pick it up and put it in the hamper, even though you stand directly over it when opening your dresser drawers. Instead, you start tossing your dirty clothes near it. Now there's a pile. Then the cat decides to make a nest in your dirty laundry, so now it's all covered in cat hair.
Glamorous!
I'm hoping that the lack of response from the woman I sent my manuscript to is a good sign. Time will tell!
I'm cleaning up my 2009 Three-Day Novel entry. Instead of whining that I didn't win, I'm going to try to publish it, though the length is tricky. It's at 34,000 words after one edit, which is no man's land for written works. Too long to be a short story, not really long enough to be a novel (as defined by the publishing industry).
So I'm just going to make it the best it can be and see what happens!
And remember, it's better to be crazy than lazy. You can quote me on that.

The silver lining in lazy is the sense of accomplishment that comes from finally addressing that pile. It's the cheapest form of renewal I know.
Love the pic
Glad to see you back - I thought this morning that I hadn't seen you blog for a while and as if by magic - here you are! :-)
The clothes pile - i've been there!
Good luck with the writing!
