| Brenda: Oh by the way SIX. I was at my chiropractor yesterday and told him how I got the bed move into its spot. He loved your idea of plastic plates. Maybe he'll use that idea in his house. |
Brenda: Ah, you go for perfection and I get frustrated.  It's like listening to music when I write on the computer. I have to have it on to help my brain work. The poet helping me can't stand anything on that might disturb her. But everyone is different.  |
| Brenda: That is exactly right for writing at least for me. I got the whole first part they way I wanted it. But then the ending was bothering me. Once I had that worked like I said I just wrote basically backwards and adjusted the two pieces until they fit. |
| 6ixStringJack: The hardest part, at least for me, is when you're going back and doing the middle stuff and you start to realize that you've got something really good going on there, but it's going to require dumping most of the ending stuff that you were so sure of just a day or two before. Sometimes I fall into a "Perfection Loop" and nothing notable gets done because I'm paralyzed that any work I do either way will end up being wasted. |
| 6ixStringJack: Hey... sometimes you don't know how the middle would go until you've got your ending fleshed out, right? I never wrote a story before, but I've done enough other creative things where I've had to do similar stuff. |
| Brenda: Yeah, I am. I am working a second book and maybe now I will be able to get middle chapters done. My first one I had to write it about half way then start from the final chapter and meet in the middle. Think this one will go the same way. |
| 6ixStringJack: Hey Ted. What have we learned about apostrophe usage? Do we need another lesson? |
| 6ixStringJack: Nice. Feeling more in the mood to write now that you've got a comfortable spot to do it? |
| THG: Well, Jacks bigotry is show again as he posted.
Well... The ONE time you get to get rid of all the low-performing women and minorities from your organization without being open to litigation for it is during mass layoffs. A rarity in the US Government.
The time to get rid of all the useless DEI hires is Now.

| Brenda: Much better SIX. And because of all that work I think I maybe sleeping better too, which is a bonus. Got something cheap to put across my lap to write on when I am in bed. |
| 6ixStringJack: How's your neck feeling now, Brenda? |
| Brenda: Ooooh, bubbles. Pretty. |
| THG: |
| Brenda: Love the Beatles |
| THG: |
| Brenda: Have a nice sit down THG. |
| THG: |
| Brenda: There's no room in the bedroom for the nightstand with the record player which is on top of it. Also a few other miscellaneous items on top of it and inside it. Like I said a workman moved it closer to my trunk but between my trunk and the night stand are my records, which aren't damaged but I don't want them damaged. I also have an old wood table that I use in the bedroom for my clock, radio and old lamp. This lamp is so not PC it isn't funny. Something like it couldn't be made today. It is a jinn, a male genie. A black man in dressed in red pants, turban, vest and pointed shoes. He is also carrying a scimitar. I love the thing but not everyone does. My dad won it. |
| Brenda: I mean a record player that has a built in tape cassette player and CD player in. It was made under the old Victrola name. |
| 6ixStringJack: Is that coming in the bedroom with you too? |
