You go girl!: Jordanian woman

You go girl!: Jordanian woman opens a can of whoop-ass on 3 morons (found via Boing Boing)
So in case you were wondering about all the short link URLs, no, I’m not turning into a general news-of-interest-blog, but I’m super busy on this new story about a dwarf who becomes claustrophobic (don’t ask, I write spec-fic, I like writing about weird shit). Additionally, I spent time reading (A Deepness In The Sky, 3rd time around, Wyrd Sisters, 1st time), putting together notes on the next round of rewriting for the novel (I’ll talk some about that, I promise), and juggling outlines for 2 other stories and one story rewrite, all of which I want to get done ASAP. All of this balanced against the fact I have to start getting off my ass about planning for other things in my life.
But anyway, the point is, I don’t want people popping in for a quick peek at what I’m up to going away empty-handed. And it suddenly came to my attention that a lot of people were popping in.
I know most people reading here are friends/acquintances wondering what the hell I’m up to. But I have no clue why others are reading. I can’t be that witty. My personal life isn’t all that interesting (although I had a colorful past), and I’m not a big writer… in fact, even when I do open my mouth to rant about something, I end up mispelling big name editors’ names and pointing links to their pages in the wrong directions (sheesh). Ah, maybe that’s the fun ![]()
Well, untill next time, enjoy the link.
