Concentrate on my children's book.
Prepare for the inevitable divorce proceedings, once my husband sees just how badly the murder mystery sucks.
Throw myself into my nonprofit work.
Try to get some short stories published.
Work on that memoir thingy.
Drink red wine, and eat salad made with butter lettuce.
job.

Do everything you'd like to do; nothing you don't.
And don't forget love neutralizes a heck of a lot of 'suck'...Not that it does!!!
There isn't an author alive that doesn't hate what they have written--after reading/re-reading, writing/re-writing it a thousand times. It even worse when you have to edit the piece o' crap. Any wonder why 'they' drink?
Btw, 'C' is for AFTER you make it big....

Ah, yes:
H. Take off my eye makeup.
I. Get an old-fashioned, 1970-style, carcinagenic tan, using no sunscreen whatsoever--only Johnson & Johnson.

If you haven't already mastered it, you
could spend some time learning to
willfully direct your imagination. In a fun way.
Imagination doesn't like drudge work.
I gather, from reading your posts, that you have been
imagining that you were writing a dreadful book.
And you have been telling us, your imaginary friends, that
you were doing just that.
Now you have produced something and have pronounced it
dreadful. So, I conclude that you have produced what you
imagined.
Why don't you practice imagining yourself producing
a good, entertaining book? Or having already produced it?
Did it change your life? Did it gather good reviews?
Did it make money?
I suggest you spend some time with it before you start writing again.

No, F from the list in the post:

Can't go wrong there.

Wow. Two sloppy posts in a row. You can tell I was in a hurry yesterday.
I
am a good proofreader. Really. When I bother to do it.
Bob: I'm just trying to get people to buy my fake humility. The raw truth is just
so unattractive: I secretly believe I'm God's gift to the English language. The reincarnation of Dorothy L. Sayers, but with a much better bod.

You know I love you for your fake humility, don't you?
