Today is a ten!!

Today, for the first time ever, my horoscope was a ten. (gasp!) I know, right? Have you ever seen a ten? It suggested that I get out there and try something new. Sooo...I'm blogging!
It's funny, I've been a professional writer for all of my adult life and I really can't think of anything interesting to say. I suppose "blogging" is an aquired taste?

It's good for me though...it forces me back into the real world. For the past twelve weeks I haven't lived here, in the real world. I took a vacation from my family and friends and I moved to Planet Perfect. It's a little bubble of an existence known only to those happy souls who write fiction. As a first time novelist, this was my first visit to Planet Perfect. It's a place where the unbelievable and the impossible are the rule, not the exception. A place where the good people get their happily ever afters and the bad people get exactly what's coming to them. A place where love reigns supreme and hurt and disappointment are only the means to a happy ending. A place where laundry doesn't pile up and kids don't get hungry. Taxes don't need to get done and phones don't need to be answered. Nobody yells "Mom! He hit me!" and dogs don't interrupt your writing by crapping in the middle of the floor...

My trip to Planet Perfect ended a few days ago when I finished the final chapter of my very first novel. (100k words later...Whew!) I cleaned the house for the first time in...well, I won't say how long. Same with washing my hair. I actually made dinner tonight too...and I'm not even cranky! I'm sure my family thinks I'm dying of cancer or something and just haven't told them yet.

Well, it's getting late. More tomorrow? I think that's how this works. It's like a little diary, right? Available for all of humanity to read. Huh. I'm going to press "publish post" now. I have no idea what will happen next. I'm scared. What if it lands in every email inbox on the face of the planet? That would be just my luck... Nite.
