Writer's Quote
February 7 - 13, 2010


"I got to thinking about the point in every freelancer's life where he has to decide whether he wants to A, have a social life and do art in his spare time, or B, do art and have a social life in his spare time. It has always seemed to me that if you have any hope of making a living as an artist - writer, musician, whatever - you absolutely must learn to tell people to leave you alone, and to mean it, and to eject them from your life if they don't respect that. This is necessary not because your job is more important than anyone else's - it isn't - but because a great many people will think of you as not having a job. 'Oh, how wonderful - you can work whenever you want to!' Well, yes, to a point, but generally 'whenever you want to' had better be most of the time, or else you won't have a roof over your head."
~Poppy Z. Brite

Chris Jimenez & Ruth/Cleo Dare (R)
with me (L)

Say a little prayer for my good friend, Ruth, who is battling cancer. She's doing well in chemo right now, but being ill has surely sapped her writing energy. The doctors are hoping to knock The Big C out of her system and restore her to good health.

Lori & Patty & Jessie Go Shooting!
 
   
Bill's Gun Club in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, was the site of scary doings this weekend. The Book Addicts went out to target shoot.
 
Jessie and Lori load up magazines for Jessie's Glock and Lori's Beretta.
 
Patty had a great night shooting. Considering it was only her second time on a range, she shot the hell out of her targets.
 
I had a pretty decent night of accuracy as well, and we had a LOT of fun!
