| Writing is annoying me. |

I've got four chapters of my book done...ish. I keep getting awesome feedback from my readers (...it occurs to me that I don't know if they're on LJ or not. Well, if you are...WHOO YOU! Y'all dost rocketh!) so there is the process of going back, fixing the stupid shit I should have caught the first time (beginning was SO rushed it's not even remotely funny) and so on.
That is not what is annoying me.
What is annoying me is the inevitable "What's next?" process for every chapter. I wait days and days, write and erase, write and erase, fumble through the fog...and it is like fumbling through fog because it's always a bit at a time comes to me. For instance in chapter five (not yet written) I know my Dauntless Heroes will encounter a [thing] and probably [another thing] and, I think, will end up [place]. It's all the stuff in between...including in between the end of chapter four and the first encounter with [thing].
So I'm just venting spleen here. I know there are other authors and such on my flist...y'all have this problem? |

| Open invitation to customer service folk! |
[Aug. 3rd, 2007|12:25 pm] |
Ever worked customer service (phones, waiting tables, behind a counter...whatever)? Ever snap and wreak horrible, bloody...or just small and petty...vengeance upon a customer or manager/supervisor?
Wanna tell the world?
Post your CS Revenge story here, or mail it to me at kalel_3@hotmail.com I'm collecting stories for a series of essays that may, hopefully, be included in a book someday.
Hit me, folks.
(No "apocryphal" tales, no "friend of a friend of a friend's cousin's roommate's uncle once told me..." stories. Stories should be something you did or actually witnessed. Identities will be changed to protect the guilty, as well as company names. Any questions or reservations, you can also contact me about them at the above address.)
Thanks! |

| The Internet May Be God |
[Jul. 9th, 2007|09:42 am] |
...or A God. Or, perhaps, trillions of little gods in the forms of ones and zeroes.
Anyway.
So, last night I howl my misery into the Silicon Infinite Void.
Today I get a call from a placement service.
At long last, the siege may be lifting. I just might have a job.
I don't know yet, so I'm holding off from counting any poultry. But I got my first call back in months!
So, happy. Also, a little spooked.
Anyone who knows me, knows I'm not the most religious person in the world. There's a stubborn core of humanist in me that refuses to let me pray. I have resolutely refused to bend my knee in supplication to an Invisible Figure or Figures.
The day after I break down and sob into the machine, I get a call.
Did I inadvertently pray to the Internet?
And did the Internet respond?
Possibly. Maybe. I DON'T CARE! I may have a job!
So cross your fingers, friends and countrymen.
And, uh...thank you, Internet. I promise I will donate some portion of my first paycheck to whatever cause or charity that Allyson or the Buffistas may be sponsoring at that time.
Just in case. |

...I have a tree.
Huh.
Thank you Tree Fairy.
Huh.

Is it Arbor Day and I forgot? |

1. How old do you wish you were?
Somewhere around 900 years or so. After that long I figure I'm not stopping, right?
2. Where were you when 9/11 happened?
Home. Then work. Then home again.
3. What do you do when vending machines steal your money?
Shake them until they submit and give me either food or cash.
4. Do you consider yourself kind?
No.
( The rest of it... ) |

So, holiday weekend, yes? *Usually*, this means shifts end two hours early, there ya go, good work, go home.
And such was the case yesterday. "Tomorrow, go home early."
Today it is not the case. Waiting e-mail informs us "unfortunately, we will be working our regular shifts today."
No explanation as to *why*. We're expected to get approximately -3 calls today. So what the fuck?
Fucking goatsucking diseased jism slurping shiteating cocksucking ball sack shitballs. Fuck them. Fuck them up their asses with burning sulphur and brimstone.
Fuckers. |

 | You scored as Serenity (from Firefly). You like to live your own way and do not enjoy when anyone but a friend tries to tell you that you should do different. Now if only the Reavers would quit trying to skin you.
