I like words, reeeally long walks in the woods, and cats, but not at the same time--literate pumas scare me.

I might have done a stupid. Good thing I studied geology and have so many rocks to hide under.

The Onion is not playing today.
ALT The front page of The Onion satirical website where every article has the headline: "No Way to prevent this says only nation where this regularly happens." Locations for each article are locations of mass shootings in the past year.

How can we pretend to be worthy of our own regard when we so easily exchange childrens' lives for a little money and power?

Please don't.
Please don't blame mental illness.
Please don't blame us because we don't blame back.
Instead, please ask.
Ask who we are, what we need.
Ask as though for once you care.
Ask what a trigger finger could do without a trigger.

Sometimes I like to close my eyes while I write. That way, their images can't interfere with the one in my mind.

Hey @DIYMFA, I wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying your podcasts and the great stuff in your starter kit.
For someone who's done way more than his own time in school, they're a fantastic way to peer into what an MFA might get you without going back inside.
Funny thing I realized:
My writing's only worth a damn when I stop fretting about its worth.
How about you?

I suppose I could tell myself I have no job.
OR
I could tell myself I have whole damn *days* free for writing and feel holy-crap-hit-the-jackpot lucky.

(Shh, no one tell @JortsTheCat! My cat was driving me bonkers. I buttered his nose, and ten blissful minutes later he's still licking it. Love you, little guy!)

Is anyone else out there wary of "weary"? Do you weary of "wary" converting to "weary"?
What of "Larry" to "leery"?

Anybody else *like* editing?
Writing a first draft feels like discovering an ore seam--what you see ain't pretty, but it has potential. Editing refines that potential and shows you what you've had all along.
Or maybe I'm just a geologist.
