I've been published. I wish I could feel more excited. I should be esctatic. But all that's sticking with me as of this exact moment is for all the well wishes and congrats and great comments I've gotten - I had to call my own family to see if they'd bothered to even read the email I sent with the link to where my story resides and to find out not only that they had bothered but were too busy or just didn't care enough to send their congrats to me too.

They fucking suck. Some days I wish I could just walk away from them completely, but then I'd never see my nieces & nephews and I know that would suck worse.

Still working on the spec script - halfway thru Act Two.

I'm considering entering some stories I've written into the Writer's Digest contest.

I need to get back into the writing groove.

Also I'm moving!

Can't wait - I'm so sick of where I live right now. I had been looking into buying a condo - what a fiasco that was - give me another couple of years and a serious raise - then I'll consider it again.

I sign the lease on my new place in the morning.
Some days, like today, I feel bad about how much I bitch about my boss.

Considering all things he's a very nice guy.

He lets me be. He doesn't hound me about my work. He trusts me to complete the tasks I have before me.

All in all not a bad guy.

He even extended my pay on the movie for four weeks.

It could be much worse.

I'll try to remember all this the next time he talks to me like I'm an idiot in front of a group of people. =)

But seriously, I think I'm pretty lucky.
