Right now, it's 8:30. I still have to answer emails, clean the kitchen and blog day 5...But first I'm going to watch Colbert. Will I make it?<BR/><BR/>carleen: We'll see how far I make it with the "no PJs" rule. As I said to Karen yesterday, it just may be that flannel pants and Ts are conducive to creating a dream world. Glad to see you here!<BR/><BR/>K: Creating the structure is what really matters. I'm so glad you're blogging again! I'll be there.<BR/><BR/>Maryanne: I love my story and characters--so in that sense, it's going wonderfully. But in my illness, I've nurtured a lot of distractions and bad habits. Thus, this blog! How about you?<BR/><BR/>Mercedes: I'm so happy you found me here. I'll look forward to seeing your word count! I'd post mine, too, but right now I'm revising so maybe I'll just post my time.Patry Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10961915797919017179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711640973989307191.post-67844338133761321052009-04-08T18:31:00.000-07:002009-04-08T18:31:00.000-07:00Damnit did i miss the sign class? only a 1/2 hr. ...Damnit did i miss the sign class? only a 1/2 hr. to dress and drink coffee? what about toast?
