Failure is an option
Aug. 9th, 2006 09:34 amOnly cut 500 words yesterday, but those were some tight chapters so I felt good about getting rid of even that much. It's nice, too, to reexamine everything with a hard eye. Feels . . . clean.
A significant moment in history of the day: I typed "failure" into Google and the number one position was occupied by the official bio of George W. Bush, President of the United States of America.
And speaking of failures, if "Joementum" Lieberman runs as an Independent as he's threatening, I think we'll wind up with a Republican senator for Connecticut because he'll split the vote too much. Joe's ego is certainly larger than his concern for the electorate.
Quote of the day:
"When I face the desolate impossibility of writing 500 pages, a sick sense of failure falls on me, and I know I can never do it. Then gradually, I write one page and then another. One day's work is all I can permit myself to contemplate."
—John Steinbeck
