octette

this is elizabeth’s cross stitch project. it’s more than a little amazing. it kind of makes me want to take up cross stitch again, but i think i like the concept of cross stitch more than the actual practice. in fact, i don’t think i’ve ever finished a cross stitch project. i get about halfway through and then get bored. kind of like most of my knitting.

the book has been approved. the contract is being negotiated. the P&L is being signed. i am, frankly, more than a little astonished. now the book just has to be finished. everyone is more confident about this than i am; i am scared out of my fucking mind. but kat and i make a good team, and the confidence i lack in my own writing, i have in hers.

i am sick with anxiety, though. the klonopin is not even making a dent.

i am also really excited.

tomorrow morning i am getting a new tattoo. it is supposed to be a pretty big piece. i’ve been saving for it for a while now, and i’m excited to get it. hopefully it will calm me down a little, ground me, center me, give me something else to focus on for a little while.

and if it doesn’t, at least i’ll have an awesome tattoo to show off when i get to new york.
