Sunday, 30 October 2005 07:20As you can all see, I'm putting my extra hour of sleep to good non-sleeping use. This is because I collapsed in my bed at about 12:00 and was feeling extremely nauseous. Slept like a log. A really tired, sleepy, sick log.
And of course, the free range love-mutts like to start the morningbarkfest reveille at about...uh...6am. But since time has changed, they think it's 7! So that's glee in and of itself.
The Boy has informed that he wasn't all that aware that my novel that I'm working on is available for viewing on
fiction_theory. He also implied others might not be aware.
So, in case anyone is just insatiably curious about what I'm writing - go over to
fiction_theory and friend the journal. The novel is being posted on a filter. Not because I don't trust people (yeah, if anyone is st000pid enough to want to steal crap that I write, let 'em!) but because if I ever decide to get brave and submit this for immediate and painful rejection publication, publishers don't want to have something that's already been available publicly on the net.
But posting it on a filter is the internet equivalent of giving a handful of your friends a copy and saying "here, tell me if you think this sucks", which I'm pretty sure publishers aren't concerned about that.
And:
I'm totally going as a witch for halloween. I'm trying to think of the least unhealthy snack to give the kids, because I'd really not rather contribute to the already pandemic problem of giving kids More Sugar Than the Human Body Needs In A Year of Life on Any Given Day. Frosted Flakes may have 1/3 less sugar, but Fruity Pebbles? Captain Crunch? Cinnamon Crunch? Fruit Loops? Still sugar-bombs.
So healthy snacks anyone? Any parental-types on the f-list - healthy snacks you'd rather people give your kids?
I'd give out apples, but I don't expect parents to trust me on that. Because dude...giving someone something that isn't prepackaged is sort of taboo at Halloween. Not that I'd ever do anything like that, not that I think anyone ever has, *but* even I know the appearance of impropriety when I see it.
Granola maybe? Peanuts?
