Fridayness, an updatey kind of post

-I'm trying to cultivate a perspective that sees unwanted things as contrast and variety, things that signal me to turn my attention towards what I want instead. Focusing on the negative never helps. So far, it's kind of lovely.

-I got some fresh copies of TPaL in the mail, and I intend to go out to the local independent bookstores (there are perhaps 3) and ask them if they'd be willing to carry it. I am pretty terrified about doing this, even though I know the worst case scenario is a rude rejection, which I deal with every day on the phones at work. I'm just clueless as to how to have this particular conversation. *gulp*

-I think, perhaps, FINALLY, my homeopathic remedy has stopped the emotional rollercoaster thing. I'm still working out how to approach these latest rewrites and revisions, but my main goal now is the write the story that makes me happy, and that's it. Thoughts on publishing can wait.

-I want a dog. We're working on manifesting the perfect addition to our family--Jared wants a Boston terrier, and I just want something that gets along with cats and doesn't chew on furniture ;)

-My birthday is in just under a month! I want to get myself a tattoo, and need to get my lazy butt to the artist I have in mind for a consultation.

Happy Friday! Hope you all have a great weekend!
