Hey! It’s 2005 already! It is so hard to believe ’04 is over. When I was a kid, the concept of seeing a new century was fascinating. Now it’s four years later and I still find it fascinating.
2005 is the Year of the Edit for me. I am determined to rewrite, edit, and submit at least one book this year. I am aiming for June, hopefully sooner. Today I am looking at which one to do. Butch Girls has the best flow of all of them. Long Lea and Simple Sarah (now under a new title) have great potential as either a trilogy or as one mega book. I also have several short stories and non-fiction I am working on to submit to magazines. And of course I have several new ideas for new novels. 😀
Lorna and I watched the ball drop in NYC (on TV of course) then happened to catch the Ellen show on the Oxygen channel. Her guest was ROBIN WILLIAMS!!!! O-M-G!! I am one that sees actors and the like to be human like the rest of us, just their job is more in your face so we all know them. But, Robin Williams is my hero. He had rough times and he survived. He faces adversity (such as the injury and later death of Christopher Reeves) and laughs. I think, no, I know that if I ever met him that I would become a bumbling idiot. I’d stare and stutter, maybe even start drooling. His humor is like mine, except he does it much better. He once was on the show, ‘Inside the Artist’s Studio’. His half hour program lasted over 2 hours. One member of the audience was taken to the hospital for a ruptured (?) hernia. It was an absolute hoot! I would love to meet him. I would go nuts, but I would love it. Ellen DeGeneres is another one I would like to meet but I think I would act semi-normal. Whoopi Goldberg is another person I’d like to meet and I would act almost as much an idiot as with Robin W.
So, anyway, we watched the Ellen show and Lorna went to bed. I stayed up an hour or so later (the night owl in me).
Here’s hoping everyone has a safe and happy new year.
