Mood: Craving…a nap
Currently listening to: The evening news
This afternoon I had some time to kill so I wandered into Borders bookstore. I was browsing the fiction shelves. I don’t know about you, but I prefer to go about it alphabetically. Even if I’m looking for a specific book, if I have the time, I still start at “A” and make my way through to “Z.” You never know what you might find.
So, today I found myself stopping to see where a book written by me would be shelved. I have to say, I like the company such a book would be keeping. To my left, Eudora Welty and to my right, Edith Wharton. Not bad. All the more motivation to write something good.
Still reading draft #1. Slow going. Not necessarily because it sucks, but because this has been a long week. Still hoping to get through it by the end of the weekend. Reading it is definitely motivating me to want to start on draft #2. I want to try again. I want to start over & see if I can address some of the ticks I’m noticing in my writing. We’ll see.

oooh how funny. Tomorrow at work i’ll have to see where *I* would go! That’s a pretty funny exercise. I guess I’d go before Nicholson Baker???? But I doubt WH Smith has any of his books in stock. Hmmm . . . .But if I’m in the travel memoirs section, that’s something else altogether! tee hee
