Besides, teaching takes a lot of thinking and creativity. I'd be up nights, when I was a teacher, at least one a week. That doesn't leave a lot of mental room for writing, I found.

I experience constant interruptions and there is very little thinking time, and yet I'm a relatively slow writer by nature who needs to take the time to think and polish.

I have an old one, but I can't find the cord to hook it up to the laptop. It's on my to-do list! *taking notes*

Short stories get things rolling. For me, it feels good to END stuff, while a novel takes FOREVER! Oh fun, G! Short stories get things rolling.

It's a very small living. But I was thinking that I can now pay all the bills... but I can't seem to cover the gas, food, etc stuff. That adds up. It costs $100 to step foot outside of my house, it seems! But that's what Glenn's for! Hah! It’s a very small living.

I'm not in the car much, anymore. When we had a CD player, I loved to listen to Stephanie Plum and laugh. Oh nice! I’m not in the car much, anymore.

And I was thinking that, in Spanish, I'll get to read Pablo Neruda poetry in Spanish! :-) I was just thinking the same thing, Eric!

That would be cool. I'd love to do that. If I can save up the money, I'd really like to go to Guatemala for a month in 2011. Well, I'd like to go in 2010, but were getting into lottery-winning odds, there. :-) Awesome, Edie! Are you on a new WIP? I saw about that! That would be cool. I’d love to do that.

I'm learning fast, so I'm immersing myself, so it's not surprising I'd dream in it. I dreamt in German after I went to Germany. I think it just takes immersion. Italian is fun! I forgot; I did learn a bit of Italian! (Family and worked in Little Italy, for a time.) :-) That’s awesome, Paul! I’m learning fast, so I’m immersing myself, so it’s not surprising I’d dream in it.

I've been doing it with Harry Potter, but it's slow going: every time through, I recognize a couple more words. With this book, they give the vocabulary and help you through it, so it's fantastic. My writing this year has not inspired me, either. Oh cool, Melanie! I’ve been doing it with Harry Potter, but it’s slow going: every time through, I recognize a couple more words.
