Dear Universe:

[stillsostrange]

I am really not that clumsy. This coffee spilling business needs to stop.

Thank you.

Thank goodness for black clothing.

wicked_wish mentions the struggling writer as protagonist and how annoying it is. I agree. Annoying as all get out. (I also agree that Stephen King does well with writers as protagonists. Bag of Bones is my personal favorite.) I think we've all figured out the annoying neurotic parts of writing on our own, thanks. And while I can listen to my friends talk about writing all day long, I really don't need it in fiction. I'm not particularly fond of either grubby apartment/struggling writer stories, or of fantasy-writer-goes-to-fantasyland stories. (The former are boring, the latter make me jealous.)

Of course, I have a great fondness for academics as protags, and I suspect that annoys some people too. Alas and wailaway.

Did I have something else worthwhile to say...? Guess not.

It was great! I was kind of tired of King, and then I tripped over BoB. I love ghost stories.
