You never say hi, you never say much, you never make an effort to stay in touch.

I'm at another down in my novel. I'm not far behind, but I don't want to write any more and I've just about convinced myself not to worry about it too much tonight. I don't work as well on the weekends as during the week, so I think hey, might as well wait until Monday and throw myself at it. I might make myself write another 500 words and then see how I feel. It's another "what happens next" problem.

I'm currently quite excited about a brand new project, although that's not the reason that I'm behind in my novel. Of course, it doesn't help. :) It's an e-zine that we're starting, as suggested by [livejournal.com profile] carrieb. There are eight people at the moment tossing ideas at each other and we're having a lot of fun with it so far. At least, I am. :) I'm really beginning to feel like it could be something quite good in the end. I'm sure you'll be updated about this more later on.

The weather is incredible.. about twenty degrees F higher than the average high. It was about 72 today and brilliantly sunny. It's been such a weird year for weather.

Alright. Friends-only thing. I got creeped out, I'm over it. This friends-only experiment made me feel like I have something to be ashamed of or to hide, and I do not. I've given it a few days, but I still feel uncomfortable about it, so even though I hate being wishy-washy about , it's over. My compromise is that I'm going to selectively hide my archives and questionable posts in the future. I'm not going to dwell on this, though.

Oh! One last thing before I try to write again. I mentioned the dogs that my neighbors have. The crazy barking dogs? They haven't been barking at all lately, which is very weird. Anyway, what I wanted to say was that their cage is MUCH bigger than I thought it was. Probably three times as large, so you can stop worrying about the doggies now. :) There's also a neighborhood puppy named Ozzie. It actually belongs to someone, but it runs around outside freely. It's very very friendly and very very stupid. It was really pitiful because it got hit by a car a couple of weeks ago, and my niece was extremely upset. It followed her up to the road when her and my dad were zooming about on the golf cart, and someone hit it. She was sure that it was her fault, so she felt bad. This is a dog that chases cars.. from the front, so it being hit by a car might have been healthy for it in the long run.. it just doesn't see vehicles as a threat. Anyway, it just hurt one of its front legs, and is running around down here again, although it doesn't walk on that leg. It hops along at full speed, but in this awkward little run.. I've been calling it Ozzie Kangaroo. It's so cute.

But it still chases cars. I don't expect it to live too much longer, poor thing.

Sure. :) Try the hello thread, for instance. :) You've only missed out on one day's worth of posts, so you can catch up pretty quickly. Yay! More fun people involved. :)
