lady_karelia... it's too late in the day to post, really. I'm cranky with tiredness, but I can't go to sleep. So I'm shamelessly abusing this wonderful livejournal and pin down my thoughts...
I'm done with the correction on 'outcast'. So, if you want to read it, it'll be here: http://www.thepetulantpoetess.com/viewstory.php?sid=699 If you see four chapters up, it'll be there. If not, simply wait, while you're reading the first three chapters. Know that the last chapter is by far the longest - nearly 9k words. I quite like the chapters, and NSS must have done, too. Otherwise, she would not have gone through it the way she did. Goadz, NSS, you truly rock! AW might have told me something like 'yeah, your story might have merit, but please get the punctuation right, because we don't have the time/can't be bothered and besides, we have enough submissions anyways, so don't bother until you get everything perfect' kind of thing. Don't get me wrong, they have brilliant stories there. But my personal problem is that I've seen every mistake I've ever made in my submissions and whilst it wasn't good enough for me, it was good enough for others. Therefore I consider them political. I mean, for crying out loud, my first language is NOT english. ha. I know it should be English, not english. Told you I'm cranky.
I really shouldn't be cranky. Went shopping today. For the first time since we got back from Pakistan. I finally have a pair of shoes, so I can actually walk comfortably, rain or shine, it really doesn't matter, I can walk. :-) Maybe that's why I'm so effing exhausted. I think we did close to 10 miles walking today. I'm thrilled, though. Haven't been able to do that since we came back, and it's just wonderful to walk around London in a pair of decent shoes. Even if they display a silly design on the outside. But I have no doubt Sara will take care of that when she next sees me. She'll simply take out her black permanent marker and go over the silly design. Ha! Me has a clever daughter. :-)
And before I get any crankier, I'll go to bed now. I wanna go to the US. NOW. I wanna meet the family I never knew. I wanna meet my brother. Then I won't be cranky anymore *hmph*.
