I'm beginning to feel like I only show up in LJ either to whine or to extort congratulations from everyone. Today I'm doing the latter: The first draft of the romance novel is finished! Whoo-hoo! [insert wild undignified capering]

I also want to thank the anonymous LiveJournal fairy who extended my paid account. Would you care for some smut in return? You can leave me an anonymous comment.

Congrats! May your revisions be few and not drive you bonkers, and may you sell millions. :-)

I think that's the nicest blessing anybody ever gave me.

After wasting a lot of my writing time noodling unproductively (or playing Alchemy), I finally discovered the Four Pillars of Overcoming My Own Personal Procrastination Habit:

1. Outline the hell out of it first.

2. Write it in longhand. The computer is a big box of procrastination.

3. Require myself to write 500 words a day. That's not very much, really -- five pages of the little hand-sized spiral notebook I use -- but it's steady progress.

4. Every day, leave off in the middle of a sentence. That way it's easier to get started the next day.

Hee! I'm going to have so many damned pseudonyms by the time this whole thing is finished that I won't know what name to sign it!

I'm going to want to buy a copy, so please pick one you'll be willing to make public on LiveJournal.

Hee! If sales total two, then I'll know who bought the other one!

Actually I think what I'll do is e-mail the title to people who ask, since the author's real name usually appears on the copyright page, and I'd just as soon that my real name and this one didn't get connected even by so tenuous a thread. (As a writer friend says, horrified: "Not only are my parents still alive -- they have a computer!")
