I need sit my bum back in the chair soon and do some serious writing
I need some valium
I need to quit teaching while I still like it
I need to stay away from my sister sometimes
I need to write and stop blogging drivel
I now have two teenagers
I really do need space
I really like red too but you wouldn't know it
I said I wouldn't get more cats
I said I wouldn't write
I think I can
I think I'm out of words
I try not to be callous but sometimes it comes out that way
I want an agent
I will
I wouldn't call this writing
i-find-your-lack-of-faith-disturbing
I'll ask you to use my preferred name please
I'll emerge when I feel like it
I'll just have coffee
