"She had an ink spot on her nose, the result of working on her novel of suspense. It is virtually impossible to write a novel of suspense without getting a certain amount of ink on the beezer.

Ask Agatha Christie or anyone."

I am not doing enough.

 

I just got my job back at the deli.  The new deli.  The Dippin' Deli.  No, seriously, that's really what it's called.  And on the back of my shirt it says, "Get your licks at the Dippin' Deli, Vernfield, PA."  No, that's not the title of a dirty movie that I am in, I swear.  And it's just ironic that there's a strip club down the street.

I am glad that I have my job back, and school is going well, but I don't feel that I am dedicating enough time to my writing.  I also don't see how Laura and I are going to get our lit mag off the ground if I don't have the internet at my house. 

It would be really convenient if I could forego sleep and eating, then I would have time for everything.  But then I would end up like that girl who ODed on espresso on a college campus and had to get her stomach pumped.

No deal, man.  No doing.

P.S.  Wizard World was awesome and my comic book collection is growing exponentially.  Now I have two insurance policies that can be sold for lots of money: my hair and my comic books.

I realize the cost may be an issue (and the time) but if you really want to dedicate more to your writing, you should consider spending this week-end at Deadly Ink

@doahsdeer - That sounds great! I only wish I had known about it sooner.  I added the website to my favorites list.  Maybe I'll try to go next year, depending on my monetary situation.  I really want to go to Breadloaf... A writing teacher of mine has gone a bunch of times, supposedly its a really awesome conference.  Have you been?
