By comparison, my college essay, which is the last essay I took this seriously started with the line, "Hubris is going to be my downfall."
I cringe every time I remember, but you know, it got me into college so...
After spending all that time working on something that isn't even fiction, I posted the following on Twitter:
Someone wrote that being a writer is like having homework for the rest of your life. I disagree in that I never worked so hard at homework.
Apparently that struck a chord because it's been retweeted like 12 times, and I find that so incredibly cool.
We're in December now which means it is my friend Gina's birthday. So before I go: Happy Birthday to my friend, my former roommate and ex-co-worker, Miss Gina!

Haha. That's actually pretty clever. If I had seen that, I'd have retweeted it too.
Also, so true.
Thanks! By the end of the day it was retweeted over 20 times, which blows my mind. I had no idea it would resonate with anybody else. Twitter is awesome.
I was going to post a comment on the 1st, but only had my iPod so couldn't. I will now:
Look at you and the birthday shout-out. Oh my, I said shout-out. I think kudos are in order for you for 50,000 words. Fifty thousand. F.i.f.t.y. t.h.o.u.s.a.n.d. Amazing. (Jury's still out on whether I can get away with the word kudos).
