I’m even more grumpy than usual tonight. See that picture – My roommate briefly pissed me off and took that a few days ago. That’s my pissed off face. About the same as my happy face.
Rewriting is really pissing me off. I like doing it but I want to be start working on something new. And since this draft is basically the changing of the past to the present tense, it’s going to lead to two more drafts. At least. One to correct and tighten the story – again – and another to get the prose right. Again. What I’m doing now is just monkey work and I wish I had a monkey to do it. But I don’t. (stupid moneys. Never one around when you need one.) Yet, the story and the prose are much improved and I know I’ve made the right decisions. So far. Things could go off the rails at any moment.
So, while I’m enjoying the work, I know that I’m even more unbearable than usual. More distracted, grumpier and snappish. People exhaust me. I just want logic. I wish I could tear down this city and rewrite it. I have a hard time with social situations to begin with. Right now I’m almost totally unfit for public consumption. I need to stay indoors for a while.

Hey, that’s why I for one love you . I love the rants and the unsocialized spirit that will not be tamed . Stay indoors if you must, but keep the words coming .
