'allow Moneypenny. Fancy a Shag?

Aside from writing and reading, I'm finding myself drawn to British sitcoms.
Young Ones, Bottom, and of course, Ab Fab and French & Saunders. I'm getting more & more on to British culture.(If that makes any sense)-- Like they say "Happy Christmas". And the wearing of Paper Crowns on Christmas. I first saw it on The Osbournes and thought they were just being quirky. Then I saw it on an Ab Fab Christmas episode. Then saw it again on a Bottom Christmas episode.(Which made for a hilarious joke that really must be seen to be appreciated)

ANYway.. this isn't productive blogging, is it? What is productive blogging anyway? To write something clever, I suppose. But I have a bit of a rough time with that some days. Of course, Noelle has uncomprehendable genius and her blogs are always brilliant. No- I'm serious!
I hear her play is coming right along... and even though the actors can't possibly have the same creative vision as Noelle's, I'm sure she'll get them on the right track soon enough.

I was in the library... looking at the paper backs. Looking at the "Avon Romances"... They've got guidelines for unsolicited manuscripts... I could make millions if I mastered the format/formula. But what of my artistic integrity? Can a writer whore themselves out just to get their foot in the door and be able to later turn around and do the pieces they truly want to write? Or does this cheapen the writer and leave their legitimacy ruined and unsalvagable?
Hmmmm....

P.S.- This Friday will be 1 month since my last cigarette. Hurrah!!

Congratulations on being smoke free! Way to go! You are a great writer, and I'm sure you could master the romance genre in no time. Maybe if you do it with no small amount of irony, it would be a victory rather than a surrender?
