Geez. It’s been awhile…like months…since I updated. Not that people have been waiting with baited breath for my next post (rather the contrary, I fear), but I still feel some chagrin. This blog is more or less representative of ALL my endeavors that aren’t graded by a third party and put on my permanent record, that is to say- given up. I can’t seem to finish anything I start. Like, my 'novel' (I call it that because ‘novel’ sounds ever so much better than ‘that shitty, self-indulgent piece of escapism drivel’, plus ‘novel’ is shorter), I’ve written it….except for that pesky last chapter. Even that’s mostly written too, but I can’t seem to get it right. I actually sent the first draft to my beta. She sent it back telling me it was shit (rightfully so). Well, actually she didn’t use the word ‘shit’ per se, it was more like “um, Em, this, well, you might want to work on it a teensy bit more, I just am not quite sure it’s reaching its full potential.” Okay, she didn’t say that either, but she was nice about it. But it was the first time she’d ever told me my stuff wasn’t up to snuff (not that snuff is a particularly hard this to be up to). So that just says loads. And really, I knew it wasn’t that good when I sent it off, I just wanted to be done with the damn thing.

*sigh*

Anyway, the point of the above story was to illustrate two points: 1) I never finish what I start and 2) yes, I am working on The Pack…it will be finished!!!! *shakes fist at sky and calls on Heaven to witness her vow.*

Ahem.
