Thanks Greg! I appreciate the compliments on my writing - the STBX never complimented anything including my writing, to him it seems unedited, overdramatized, & of course anything I write about him is a flat-out lie don't you know. Huh.
But for my birthday I got a big huge book from my parents, the "2002 Writer's Market" with addresses for editors, literary agents, pusblishing companies, etc. They always tell me I should be a writer of some sort - guess I never seriously considered it because you always hear that even the most talented & educated writers get a pile of rejection letters before they sell anything. I don't know if I could handle all that rejection...of course my STBX is breaking me in real good, when all this is done I will LAUGH at rejection, laugh I tell you...
But in the meantime, I just write because I like to, it helps me think, Stephen King says the only way to be a good writer is to do it all the time, just like anything else you get better with practice.
Just the same it's probably a good thing that I've got work lined up for tomorrow & next week -
besides the obvious (money) it will help me blow off some of this frustration which I know is showing up in all my posts, he just...he just...
never mind I don't want to think about him.Okay. Once I'm out of the house, I'll rent someplace for awhile & think about where to go from here, although I'm leaning towards moving back to Florida, somewheres on the Gulf Coast. I DO like the seasons myself but nothing extreme -
I'm not used to serious winter like they have in Maine or Minnesota or the Dakotas...and I HATE the kind of sticky nasty heat we get here in the Midwest. Before the big move I might take a trip to Oregon or Washington state, see what it's like up there.Hey Greg I don't know how you managed it but it sounds like you used to be married to my husband's first wife. Man, she was a piece of work. They got married at some silly age, 18 or something, & had a daughter...I don't think the marriage lasted 3 years but we had to contend with this demented person until his daughter grew up, she was always taking him to court to demand more & more money at the same she was collecting welfare for nonsupport (sound familiar?) so then the state of Georgia comes after us for the money they gave her - and even though the STBX did eventually prove that he had always paid child support - meaning his ex was collecting welfare by fraudulent means - I don't think she ever got into trouble. And WE had to fork over a bunch of money for a lawyer and whatnot - man she was a b****. I told Ken, I said, your taste in women is appalling! Of course he agreed.
UHOH out of coffee, we can't have this. Thanks again Greg, it's nice to hear for a change that I'm not some crazy evil money-sucking demon dispatched from Hell for the specific purpose of torturing his Highness.
