the continuing saga of Verizon's asshattery. I should write a book

( It boggles the mind )

WHile I might be in a roaring bad mood

some things are pretty okay.

I forgot to mention a local college (not mine) has invited me in to be a guest speaker. (i.e. I'm friends with the prof) I'll be speaking this week coming to a creative writing class. Ideas for my talk will include, how I got started, why I write what I do, how reading is vital to a writer and the role of writers groups and doing your research before you venture out into the publishing world.

Any thoughts or suggestions for other ideas?

I'm enjoying the 21 days of meditation with Deepka Chopra's crew. It's addressed some of my issues with meditation (which turned out to be non-issues but I've never had a living guide before just books so...)

I have a solitary purple bell pepper. I wanted to turn it into something festive but I'm not sure what.

I've decided to completely ignore the three chapters of the story I want to use for my fmabigbang. Oh I'll still use them but I'm not sure if they'll be in the same order. I think one of the things missing is that some of the main action is ROyai but we never even seen it. Ed/Winry and Al and his flame (not Mei) are dominating the story, which is okay too but it needs...balance.

There was something else good but for the life of me I can't remember. Ah well.

Oh I did think about using something like Amazon or Lulu to put out an anthology a publisher probably wouldn't touch but i need to talk to a few people first.
