Things I learned from Ariel:

1. Women are touchy about weight. I mean I knew that, but holy shit, I just got a whole new lesson.
2. Feminists can be vicious bitches to the very women they strive to embolden. I knew that, too. But that knowledge has been reaffirmed thrice over.
3. Ask up front if web publications have syndication deals with other sites.
4. Watch edits carefully.
5. My Aunt B is very brave.
6. I have so much more to say about this, but I’m writing a novel. Slowly. Oh God, I’m so behind.

I’m going to do it, dammit. I’ve said I would for years now, but never did. I never even started. One of my major downfalls is a lack of self-discipline. I work better on a deadline. So, now I have one. You may not see many posts here this month (or maybe you’ll find more–who knows?!), but until you hear otherwise just know I’m pounding out a novel. A shitty, scattered, first draft of a novel, but a novel nonetheless.

It’s about a crazy girl.
