I think that if she's more than half an hour late I would just go ahead and eat without her. :grouphug: Edited December 19, 2016 by Junie 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I'm trying to cook dinner and think about novel revision things. I'm not sure editing and cooking mix together very well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Now the printer is rejecting my yellow generic ink cartridge (which it seemed OK with yesterday) and says I'm out of magenta, which it said was 1/4 full yesterday. I don't know. We are out of discretionary money. Maybe we can borrow $20 from ds12 and get the last 15 cards printed at Kinkos. They use crappy paper. I didn't mention that after dh was able to unfreeze his car door this morning, it wouldn't latch shut. We don't know if the latch is broken or just stuck, but we can't drive it. Ds21's car is acting like the battery or alternator are going out, even though they both tested yesterday as being fine, so we can't drive that car either. My mom wants to go Christmas shopping, but we can't go anywhere. Bah humbug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsabelC Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Happy birthday Renai. Happy birthday 8yo twins. Sorry about the news re Mr. H. Go people who are house cleaning. This is kind of embarrassing, but we have spent a couple of days cleaning out our girls' bedrooms, and the bedrooms were so filthy dusty that I am now suffering from a full-on dust allergy-induced cold, and considering stealing my husband's hayfever medication. Now we are laundrying, schooling, and musicking. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 DH is home today. We got rid of the kids and went out to lunch! That was nice. Now we're home! I found a chicken in the deep dark recesses of the freezer, so I roasted it and am now boiling the carcass for some tasty soup for dinner. And I taught my middle DD how to make oatmeal molasses batter bread. I love batter bread. It's quick and easy and I don't have to worry about kneading with little ones. And you gotta have fresh bread with soup. Susan, I hope you can get the ink and car problems dealt with without having to fork out a bunch of 💰💰! Critter got luck multi-tasking. Isabel, hope the allergies go away. Just don't take Susan's decongestant.😆 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Believe me, after digging through four structural components of the novel, "potboiler" takes on a whole new meaning. :glare: I like revising. I hate thinking about revision. It's amazing how much stunned silence followed by disgusted growling comes out of my mouth when asked to answer questions like: What is your great idea for a novel? What one element or focus makes you excited about your concept? Try to explain in one sentence what makes your novel unique, original and compelling? :svengo: :willy_nilly: :crying: I have no great ideas. No clue. Shoot me now. :nopity: <Runs around the room cackling like a crazy chicken> Condensing a story of 219,000 words into one sentence is hard work, y'all. But I'll get there. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 And it has to be done. You want to pitch your novel with something other than a pitchfork, you need a concise yet eloquent one liner when asked, "What is your novel about?" 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
