Further to yesterday’s rant-ette

Mr. Rogers is my guru:

Some are fancy on the outside.
Some are fancy on the inside.
Everybody’s fancy.
Everybody’s fine.
Your body’s fancy and so is mine.

I think you’re a special person.
And I like your ins and outsides.
Everybody’s fancy.
Everybody’s fine.
Your body’s fancy and so is mine.

What we teach our children, we too must hear.

I’m sorry I ragged on high waisted jeans — which completely invalidated my point and which was also entirely unintentional. Please understand it as a rant against the skit, not against real life jeans or the women who wear them, like them, feel comfortable in them and look good. My own natural waist is about one inch below my armpits so I have a distinct tendency to look like PeeWee Herman unless I’m careful.

NaNoWriMo thought for the day: Behind on words again but Ed is coming home so all is not lost. Also, my plot has been completely and interestingly highjacked and I spent some time yesterday scolding myself far too fiercely for allowing myself to get backed into a corner. This morning, I think I might have thought about how to wiggle out, but it will require rewriting everything I have already written, which is not in the NaNoWriMo spirit. Stopping myself from going back to rewrite will be a challenge, but a good one. However, I am going to carry on writing as if I had written the first bit “right” rather than try to figure out how to gracefully connect them.

    No rewrites! That is your Inner Editor talking – gag her and keep writing! Kill off a character, or have one come out of the closet, or add someone new!

    You’re doing great – keep it up!
