Watching a writer at work can be like watching the paint dry

Borrowing the meme that's been going around, thought it time to ask folks what they expected from my LJ. I'm happy to have readers, and silent lurking is just fine, but if you'd like to chime in and let me know why you're reading my LJ, and what interests you, I'd like to hear from you.

I came because of the stuff you had on writing (what they said above). I enjoy that kind of information, and have a couple of writers on my flist for just that reason. But I also like hearing about your writing process, and your progress from day to day, or week to week if that's what you can manage. Writers tend to be interesting people, I've found, and of course they tell their own stories so well. (Duh) So I'd probably enjoy your grocery list. What do you want to write about?

Oh! I also forgot to mention the most important thing!!!! You inspire wannabes like me!

My grocery list is probably the closest I'll ever come to a short story :-)

Typical list: 1/2 gallon milk, H20, Pepperidge Farm Double Chocolate Milano cookies, microwave dinners.

The reason why there weren't any lizards hidden inside my fridge is that there was nothing in there for them to hide behind....

But as I posted up above, you'll see more posts on the writing process coming up soon.

The milk is for dunking said chocolate cookies??

Milk for cookies. Or wine. I'm not picky :-)

Red or white?

Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio both go well with chocolate.

Depending on mood, merlot or a cabernet also work, but it's got to be dark chocolate.

I used to drink Swill wine (I'm not a wine snob) like wine coolers and Boones Farm (Field?) strawberry wine. My only requirement was that it had to be sweet. I bet you're shuddering violently aren't you?
