The Last Day

Well, darling invisible friend, we've reached the end of our little blog challenge. And oh my, have we been successful! Every day, email account hacking not withstanding, a blog has been posted. Sure, many of them have been complete and utter crap, but through the poo, an occasional gem has shone through.

Mostly in the comment section. Ah, well.

This morning, I received an email and its subject line read "Modest Proposal." The writer of this email is my dear, dear, spicy yet sensible friend, Mo. She suggested the following:

So I have thoroughly enjoyed blogfest Feb. I look forward to reading and
laughing every day. I would propose you extend your daily blog to March.
I know, it's not easy, but you will be making your readers...very happy...

No, I didn't realize there was a substance abuse problem either.

I haven't written back yet, as I fear that my email might consist of things like, "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FREAKING MIND?" As a rule, I don't believe such exchanges result in good will or fellowship of any positive sort. I did come close to clicking the "send" button after typing:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

but stopped myself in time.

Here's the thing. I didn't quite make my WIP-writing goal, though it's so close, I can nearly brush it with my fingertips. While using a stepladder. Balanced on one foot. I will reach that goal, very likely in the next few days. Then I must edit and edit deeply if I want that manuscript to appear as if it were worthy of purchase and not just the ramblings of a madwoman.

Hey! Not nice! Not nice at all!

Anyway. After that, I must template/plot/begin my next WIP in preparation for April. No, the month. I do know an April [person] and she's lovely, but I think it's safe to suppose she does not give a rat's fuzzy butt if I ever write another word. Now that I think of it, I'm not sure she knows I write at all. One way or the other, she's not losing sleep over this. It is the month of April for which I prepare.

Dearest, it's not that I don't want to talk to you everyday. It's not that I've run of things to talk about...oh ho ho! Not that. Never that. It's just that daily blogs are a greater challenge than I realized.

Fine. Let's take a vote. All those in favor?
