My priorities: slightly flawed

[blamebrampton]

My one goal for today: 
* Finish Fathers.

What I actually did: 
* Bought very nice underthings for half-price at DJs (50% off Simone Perle!)
* Went to four places looking for the perfect under-eye concealer that would mask dark circles without looking like I had little pale grey puffy pillows under each eye instead (failed to find any, damn my non-yellow-toned skin!)
* Purchased a nice Kala tenor ukulele for $100 off! 
* Learned to play a scale and two chords on said ukulele.
* Hatched plans for one-woman Vera Lynn Tribute Show (am semi-serious!)


If I can stay awake for another 120 minutes and type very fast, I might still be able to hit my first priority ... Though it is already 1am ...

Dear one please, please, for the love of all good things, type very fast. Though I am of course glad that you enjoyed the rest of your day and sorry it's one am for you already. but Fathers, the end in sight, so near and yet...

I wait with a patience I hardly knew I possessed for the end of this piece.

I am going to get as far as I can tonight. The Championships are on, so I can stay up for a bit with Rafa and Djokovic to keep me going. And then it will just need a beta and ... IT COULD ACTUALLY BE UP THIS WEEK!! MADNESS!!!!

(I have put the ukulele back in its box and am not allowed to open it again today.)

What very excellent news (and the ukulele will wait, yes it will). Fathers finished! And soon, really? I shall have to have a celebration of some kind when it's done (and reread it all from start to finish again). Followed by feasting and rejoicing and etc.

Enjoy the match, but keep writing! I'm reduced to exclamation marks to show excitement.

I shall wait with even more eagerness than before.

Have sent off all but the last scene to beta. It will be sad to see it go, but such a relief to have it done!

And thank you so much for your generous encouragement -- it's really lovely of you!

I am happier than I can say to know that within just a few days I shall be reading new words from you. And the last scene will be following very shortly after yes?

My encouragement is merely a delight in finding such a truly excellent writer who is wasted on whatever job takes your mind away from such talent. I fear that the knitting patterns you mention from time to time in no way make full use of such a gift.

And I hope you get much pleasure from your ukulele when Fathers is *finished*, though not so much that you forget to finish certain other equally good pieces.

Seriously, you write frighteningly well, and I hope you continue to do so because you are too gifted not to.

As for your comment lower down about wishing to be hit if you mention writing sequels or some such nonsense, the answer is clear - just finish them faster. Everyone will be happier that way *g*, (and you'll have more guilt free time to play the ukulele).
