Snow day

[veronica_rich]

I have a snow day today ... in the South, when it snows a moderate amount, the roads are so warm that the snow sticking to them freezes and renders them impassable for a good day or two, even for new tires (believe this, I know). I used to make fun of everyone here for being so scared of snow, because being from a mid-northern state, I have driven easily through much worse. However, I now understand the problems -- no matter how good a driver I am, I still slide if I try to go over 20 mph, even with new tires (as I already noted).

Anyway, I stayed home because I thought the boss would stay home -- he's an attorney, and no court and such -- but he went in later this morning, I think he was bored at home. Ha! Anyway, he's only doing one thing and his junior lawyer can do that for him, so here I am at home.

Let me say right now I feel incredibly guilty. Not only am I not making any money here at home (I can make it up some other day, I suppose, so it's not a tragedy -- besides, I'm poor, so I'm used to it), I'm not even writing any paid stories. (Suffice to say I do some writing for about half my meager income - nonfiction.) There's a couple I could work on, but I've been very unmotivated the past few weeks over holiday vacation. What the fork is my problem? There's money to be made!

Anyway, I will force myself to work on a couple of articles I need to get done today (am having a hard time coming up with the ledes for them, which makes writing tough), and yes, will probably devote some time to "Admit" as well. Damn fanfiction taking over my brain ... LOL ...

Yes, but my usual editors don't read this sort of stuff (not that I know of, anyway ... wouldn't it be great if I could send them this and they'd go "hell yeah, here's some money!" LOL).

Ah, the cheap little word-whore that I am.
