I have now lost two pieces of writing that I was intending to reproduce in the blog. The first was the next chapter of Artemis Winter in which I wrote about being fed up; the second was the introduction and outline for my book, "How to learn anything." The problem with losing the second one is that it was on a co-pay receipt and had my name on it and I probably lost it at work and if anyone reads it it could really insult them and I could have an uncomfortable conversation looming somewhere in my future.
The sentence just prior made me happy. Partly because, though it is a run-on sentence, it is exactly how I talk (have therefore captured my "voice" in writing) and partly because I was engaging in a little recreational anxiety over it and then realized that there isn't anyone in the Law School that I have ever had a conversation with who could really make me uncomfortable. Being arrogant certainly has great advantages.
I sent my website off to Manhattan Toys a week ago. I will call today to follow up. http://www.laughingatus-design.com/ I'm not sure after all that it is impressive in anyway, so now that I have sent it, I will post it on Facebook and elicit the random and not-at-all helpful, thoughtful or critical sorts of comments that Facebook accrues (accretes?)
Naturally I love the magical starfish on your site. May I order one, please? Let me know how much it costs.
