Dear Marathon: You're in two days. 48 freakin' hours. I think I'm going to bite the pavement and die a slow, embarrassing death. My butt cheeks and I should probably just surrender now. Thankfully a few of my favorite ladies are going to be chuggin' along with me.
Dear Daylight Savings: Not a fan.You make me want to sleep forever, something I already struggle with. Driving home in the dark on the San Antonio highways is like defying death every day.
Dear NanoWrimo: Ouch. Writing a book is more difficult than wiggling into my skinny jeans these days. My word count is embarrassingly low. Like lower than my math score on the ACT.
Dear Grahm: Thanks for nixing one of my female character's names this week. Harper Collins. Didn't even occur to me why that's a terrible idea. I like Harper. And Collins is your middle name. Brilliant, I thought! I did NOT think about the huge-mongo publishing company until you laughed in my face when I told you her name.
Happy weekend, everyone!
Please don't ever stop being funny, because RR cracks my shit up daily. :) Good luck with the marathon! My booty and I would've surrendered before training even started. #runningamilewouldkillme

HAAAA!! Love Harper Collins as a character. Maybe it'd make your book more likely to get picked up by a publisher later? All that potential subliminal messenging/free advertising on their behalf...they'd be crazy not to publish you! Boo on Grahm for ruining the fun!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the marathon! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

haha Harper Collins!!! It really IS a great name. ;) And you and me both have the same sleep struggles, girlfriend. I find that coffee helps immensely, if you're into that sort of thing.

Good luck with your Marathon and watch out for those SA deer at night- eek, you're right- scary!! TGIF
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the marathon! I love the whole "Harper Collins" character. I worked for a publishing house and attended the Book Expo America trade show and Harper Collins had an entire isle in the Jacob Javitts Convention Center in NYC. So, maybe it was innocent, but now it would be a totally awesome play on words kind of thing! DO IT!! Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your marathon!!! You will rock it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your marathon!! You will do awesome!! And even better to have some running buddies with you!! :) I am not like the getting dark at 530pm, thank you Daylight Savings time ending {not!}....I am a night owl, and this is hard even for me! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog!! Rock the marathon girl! :) Happy Weekend!!
ReplyDeleteMarathon? Yikes! Even that word makes my butt hurt!
ReplyDeleteHave you heard about the Color Me RAD 5k? I would be willing to run that I think..
Either way GOOD LUCK!!
Stopping by from the link-up :) Good luck on the marathon!! And I'm with ya on daylight savings, not a fan. It's dark when I wake up, dark when I leave work. Ugh. Have a great weekend!

good luck girl! I'm running a 5k tonight, and I feel the same way about it as you do about the marathon...what is wrong with this picture?
ReplyDeleteGood luck! i'm running the Color Me Rad 5k...well, walking it I think is more likely, so I am WAY impressed.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to ROCK this marathon AND Nanowrimo! I'm on pace for now, but I'm scared I'm going to fall apart in the word count area haha! So much pressure!!!

A marathon?!? Go you!! Wishing you luck
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the marathon!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear how the marathon went! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope the marathon went well!!!
ReplyDeleteHarper Collins???!!! That's hilarious--the minute you wrote the name I thought of the publishers. Probably not the most genius character name ever...but we all have those moments!
ReplyDeletelove your blog! i always get so excited when i find a fellow san antonio blogger! and oh my gosh, it so relieving to hear that another individual believes that the traffic has gotten worse since the time change...i've NO idea why, but you best believe i'm praying to jesus when i buckle up at 5 o'clock to battle those crazies on the highway.
