My other part time job

[pjthompson]

So I'm thinking of giving up writing to become a Reiki Master. Either that or a ghost hunter.

I think you can see how the three are related, right?

Hmmm...well....Ghost Busters was fun, so I can totally see your reasoning there. Don't know what Reiki is though.

Hey, cool. I wrote a short story about ghost hunters, and I'm trying to figure out what technology they would use to wake up the dead. Let me know how that goes.

[pjthompson]

Maybe I should write a story about a Reiki Master ghost hunter. ;-)

[athenais.livejournal.com]

You should. If you don't give up that part time job, of course, and become one.

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

I say you go with the Ghost Hunter gig. That'd be awesome.

Don't you dare give up writing! Write about Reiki and ghost hunting but don't give up stuff for them. And if you really want to know how to do the hands doey thing, I can tell you in less than a minute. We use it at work when we do heavy physical stuff and get sore.

Uhm... what's Reiki?

[pjthompson]

Ghost hunting...or finishing my novel...hmmm...

[pjthompson]

Well, you know, since chapter 17's been up since Monday and I've only gotten one crit (hint) I was wondering if maybe I'd lost my touch... ;-)

Dang. There's always a catch. ;-)

This week has been exhausting and I thought I had critted 17 when I had only read it. I am sorry to say I have been dozing off in front of the pc when I got in from work.

Twas a very good chapterm, though. Now where is the next?

[pjthompson]

Didn't mean to harrass you! Thanks!

[java-fiend.livejournal.com]

LOL.... It's a tough call...

I would read your latest chapter, but I'm waiting until the book is finished. And until I finish reading Jodi's book. And until I start reading again.

If you have to pick a different day job than the one you've got now, I vote for Ghost Hunter. TAPS is awesome -- all those cute guys with those northeastern accents. Love 'em.

It's okay, hon. I'm looking in your direction for the full ms. Right now, I'm just trying to get the thing done. I do think of pulling it off OWW now and then because my crit time is so limited these days, but...

No, I meant as a replacement for writing, since I don't think I could do either Reiki or ghost hunting and not devote the large amounts of time to it that I do to writing. It's why I stopped doing charts for people. I tend to obsess and it got to a point where I realized it had to be either writing or astrology. I couldn't do both.

I dig my plumbers the most! And new episodes start June 6. Yipppee!

Grant and Jason (as well as Tango and Brian) are teh seyx! But you are not allowed to give up writing. Give up your day job to become a ghost hunter, and write during your off-time. Hera has spoken. (And so has Maeve.)

Grant and Jason (as well as Tango and Brian)

I agree with Grant, Jason, and Tango, but the nebishy Brian doesn't do much for me. Superphobic Steve is pretty cute.

Hera has spoken. (And so has Maeve.)

Kisses to Maeve, but I've heard that Hera holds a grudge, too. I'd better be careful. ;-)

[merebrillante.livejournal.com]

How could I have forgotten Steve, the cuddly teddy bear? He's not afraid of ghosts, but he's afraid of everything else.

[pjthompson]

Ghosts and tattoos. :-)

[kmkibble75.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay.

[pjthompson]

I may have to use the healing hands on myself. Critting two complete novels in two weeks is...um...challenging.

[kmkibble75.livejournal.com]

I can imagine! Yikes!

They take me weeks when I do them...

[pjthompson]

Normally it takes me weeks, too. I did Ilona's in four days. I can't quite believe it. =:0

Wow! That's pretty darn impressive!
