Lol! I wish it was! I could reinvent the government, save taxpayers billions of dollars.... ;)
Of course, a lot of what I do--writing, beta-reading, keeping up with SWG--is done at work. I am fortunate that my job requires (usuallly) no more than three hours of concentrated effort from me per day.
OMG! *salivates* Too bad you're a continent and an ocean away! I'd get on a plane and pay you a little surprise visit if you were not that far away.
Well, if you ever find yourself visiting the USA.... ;)
Just so you know, since I don't think you were on my flist when I made this declaration, anyone who comes into Nelyo's and can name the seven sons of Feanor in Quenya gets free ice cream!
But after reading it, when it was done, it just felt inconsistent. Like I should have said more. I don't know...
I've had this happen, shortly after writing stories/chapters that I basically had to force into existence. I reread it and think, "Yuck." I fight the urge to delete it and start again and let it sit for a few months' time. Then, usually, upon rereading, I discover it isn't as bad as I remember.
I'm not saying that this will work for you as it does for me, but I do understand where you're coming from. I'm tempted to ramble on now, but I've been leaving you lots of comments, so I'll save it all for then.
