Writing 200 words a uh yeah

A very irregular nap that was meant to last 2 hours lasted a bit over 5, leaving me to finish up a bit of work and try to meet my writing goal in the middle of the night. I think even ever awake Mark has gone to sleep. Everything downstairs is plastic wrapped because the ceiling was textured today and it leaves a very eerie feeling down here. It looks like something from American Psycho and the time of night fits too...

I realize its been more than a day since I wrote last, so I'll be at this writing goal for some time. I can't even say I've been writing on scraps of paper while out and about. This past week I've been traveling light because my purse has hit maximum load and I haven't cleaned it out. My library books are all due at different times and half of them are late now, which is why I haven't cleaned out my purse; I don't feel like sorting through it now, Agatha Christie is more fun. Logical, I know. I've finished They do it with Mirrors, so tomorrow after the paint is picked up I'll clean out my purse and have my waste paper stack and ipod to amuse me in waiting rooms again.

Daily Writing

A couple of years ago I joined a writing web site and never did much but poke around until a couple of days ago. After receiving an email inviting me to log in after such a long absence I clicked around again and found a challenge: write 200 words a day for a month. Improving my writing has been feeling impossible lately, so I'm going to take the challenge. I uploaded a short story and shared it for reviewing while I was there too. A friend of mine suggested a story exchange a couple of weeks ago and it was so much fun I thought why not see what people think of the finished product. There should be a link to the upload here, but I think you should be forced to fish around for it and join the site. If you do join and look me up, review the short story you find. Writing it was nearly as difficult as this has been. For whatever reason, when I want to write I can’t get anything sensible to come to mind. It took me a week to formulate that story and its so short and bland it’s silly. My creative juices have gelled up and need to thaw. I’m hoping this daily writing will help some. I sure hope so or whoever checks this site will be getting mighty bored with me.

Have I mentioned how much I love google today?

My blog migrated to blogger with blogger's migration tool automatically. It was so painless I feel like dancing. That was the easiest blog move by like 6 hours. Google services are always too good to be true. My google voice account makes me so happy I explain it to anyone who will listen. If you don't have one, apply for one now. They are the bestest. I have no idea how this shows up on my webpage now, but seeing as myspace doesn't load right and my last copyright date change was 2 or 3 years ago, I think its time I did some editing anyway. yippy!

In other news, we had some crazy cell phone trouble yesterday that ate up a bunch of time for all of us. We all got txt mgs from a credit union saying our txt accounts had been deactivated due to suspicious activity, then our cell phones all stopped working. When I looked up the bank, the phone number listed in the txt msg did not match, so I called the one google gave me. The bank's customer service rep told me that att had been hacked and client information had be stolen and used to fish for bank account numbers. She said I should call att and ask them the extent of the damage as she did not have that information but could confirm that many customers had been in to the bank to complain that the message had disabled their phones. When Sal called att they told him all our Sim cards were bad. When he went to the att store to get replacements, they said their was nothing wrong with them or the accounts and that the lack of service concurrently at different locations across the state was a coincidence. That's the worst cover story I've ever heard for poor security.
