Not much new...

I haven't had much of a chance to write lately unfortunately.  Michael hasn't been going out so he's here beside me most of the time irritating me, or I have children hovering about asking for stuff for Christmas.  Not a moment's peace!!

I wrote a little this morning.  About 3 pages worth, I guess.  I'm having issues with working my Watcher into the scenes.  I'll be focused on my main characters and what they're dealing with when it will dawn on me that I need this other arc happening too.  It actually worked out okay in one scene today -- she was focused on her thoughts and what Jeremy was saying and then realized afterwards that this guy's standing there in the corner of the room taking freakin' notes on what they're saying.

So anyway...  Here's hoping that Michael will pick back up with his training schedule so I can get back to my writing.  It's way easier to do when I have the "I'm writing a paper" excuse.  If I write now, he'll want to know why cuz he knows I don't have any classes at the moment and I really would rather keep my book private at the moment.  Besides, it's not like he'd be at all supportive of it.  He's too self-centered for that.

OMG!!  His friend is thinking about going to work overseas in like the Middle East.  He said if you work for 9-10 months over there you earn $80-100,000 tax-free.  On the one hand I'm thinking, that's 9-10 months of peace -- I can really focus on my writing and not have to bother with entertaining him or listening to him act like a retard.  On the other hand, that would dump his kids 100% on me to deal with 24/7 for 9-10 months.  He's very little help as it is, but at least he's a "threat."

Anyway...  I doubt anything will come of it anyway.  I'd say it would be nice to have him earn that much money, but he'd just waste all of it anyway.  He said he'd use it to pay off his house (key words HIS HOUSE).  That way he wouldn't have any bills -- he already paid off his truck.  I pay all the other bills, have a car payment, have credit cards and student loans...  He wastes sooooooooooooo much freakin' money and then acts like I must because I never have any.

See, that would be the biggest plus of getting published.  Additional income to pay off my freakin' loans!
