Things I Should Not Know (Episode 1)
There are some things that people should not know. The Internet Age has changed everything, though. This section of the blog will be updated (infrequently) with short notes or longer posts about the many things I know that I should not/wish I did not know that I would not know if I did not own a computer with a high-speed internet connection.
Let us begin at the absolute beginning:
I should not know the number, names and ages of the children of someone I will never meet. (Do not ask.)
I should not know how many times the (above) person has been married/in a long term relationship.
I should not be able to see what amounts to the family (freaking) album of someone I will never meet.
Okay.
That being said. . . I should not feel compelled to (Google, wiki, or any other) search for these things about ANY person I will never meet. Also, I should not be able to make snarky twitter comments about any and/or ALL of these things I should not know. The fact that I can means that anyone who may recognize certain persons in my blog posts/twitter timeline, must forgive me for human weakness. I can, therefore, I do.
How Late It Gets When You Are In Hell
No one should take that title too much to heart. It's just me and my personal life going haywire. But, hey, got the next Scenes From Her Life finished because of it. You'll find the new link in the side bar there (or just click RIGHT HERE).
It turns out I was making too much out of nothing on twitter and in the last couple of posts. There is a very er- um - complicated scene coming up, but this one is not it. (Teddy turns out to be a bit more cautious than I expected her to be.)
Anyway, I'm terrible at updating, especially when I say I'm going to update. So, how about this, in the New Year I will do my absolute best to be here and posting a page or a blog entry or some little thing at least twice a week. If I do better, yea! If I do worse, hey, trust me, I tried.
(Also, might bring Favorite (Something) back. Don't hold me to that, but the word is 'might' after all.)
This is enough of an update to mention on twitter. (Won't link here. It's right up there. Don't be lazy.) Be back sometime. 'Bye.
Everybody Take A Deep Breath
I'm back. I'm just a few days behind. (Unless you follow me on twitter, where I seem to get way ahead of myself, far too often.)
This could be a positive trend. I'm also writing every day. (Not, of course, Scenes. . ., which I had said I'd do. Sorry about that.) Nope, working on the novel instead. Decided I couldn't do without a major character that I had tried to write out of the whole thing. (Hard to write out the one who is basically the reason the whole story is necessary.)
I've been doing some typing/self-destructing over at twitter. Any of you who may follow me -- well, you probably won't anymore after today -- may want to ignore me for the next few hours. Nothing has happened, yet. (Everybody cross one set of fingers for me.)
Never mind.
Haven't completed the tumblr thing, yet. (Why does every other sentence end in "yet"?) May or may not need it. The Doc and Teddy thing is stalled for me. Working on the novel full time is taking most of my energy. Haven't hit any new roadblocks since I changed the focal point.
Someone I am acquainted with, very distantly, mentioned something to me earlier today that I'm not sure is true, about something I may have overheard someone say once that may have stuck in my head and that I may have inadvertently used in something on this site and that might cause me no end of problems. (I asked her "With whom?" and she said, "You know." So, it's probably nothing.)
Had meant to fix comments on this thing last week, but haven't gotten around to finding the desire. If you want to comment about something I write; whether a post or a fiction piece you can always e-mail me at thisismy at oddstilllife.com. (Of course with all the requisite symbols and space skips. Yah get my drift.) Wouldn't be a mean thing to follow me at @tracytayl on twitter, either. (Too lazy to copy and paste? Well, I'm too lazy to link! So there!)
Nothing else really rolling. I'll let you all know anything that goes on. I hope I have the ability to come back tomorrow. Yah never know. See yah!
Start Of Something New
I think I'm going to have to start something new. I've been working on the next installment of Scenes. . . and it's going in a very awkward direction. I do have a tumblr site and I figure I might transfer the -- ehem--stronger Scenes to the tumblr. Yah know, just to keep this site more family friendly. (Not my family. I was reading 300 page romance novels at the age of 8.)
Ahem! Anyway, I haven't quite decided if I'm going to just transfer the Scenes or maybe rewrite G rated ones for this site. I might do both. I might do neither.
I had planned to start blogging every day for 365 days. I planned to start that yesterday, so that the beginning and the end would coincide with my birthday. (Yes. I celebrated -- another -- 29th birthday yesterday. Do not ask me how many of those I have celebrated. Because that would be rude.)
Instead, let's call this day 1 of 365 and we'll end it the day after my birthday next year. (Or possibly I'll just do whatever the Hell I want to, for however long I want. Yeah, probably that.)
I also might start a photo thing. Been wanting to do that for quite some time. Also other things.
Dang! I actually wanted this post to just explain the Scenes. . . problem and then I got sidetracked. I'll end here, just because I can and we'll see what happens later, or tomorrow (or next week).
