I *knew* there was a good reason for me not to Twit.

Ha. I knew I was being stalked. Hence my last tweet.
‘Kinda over this deadline … so tired… wait… did I type that out aloud? Dammnit. Uh… I meant THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!’
It has been kinda weird, tweetin a deadline. It’s helped though. I often announce a word target for the day and then legions of narcs and harassment nazis get on my case about it until I’m done. I often wonder if they’re all editorial assistants.
Sometimes fans or followers will have their own mini deadlines to meet, like term papers or whatever, and we’ll have a race to the finish.
I beat them of course.
I always beat them.
Because THIS IS SPARTA!!!!

Today’s blog entry: “What a wonderfully productive day! I don’t even miss television or my family any more. I’m told that thing between my son and the Seattle police department will sort itself out eventually.
Not that it matters, because I’ve finished 50 more words this morning! I hope to hit the 100-word mark bedtime. This is hard work, but I’m determined to give it my all.
OMG! I’ve wasted three minutes on the internet! Back to the salt mines I go! Mmmm. Salt.”
