Fifty-One
It's been 51 minutes since I decided that I'm gonna try to write an article about being a thrifty geek and try to shop it around to the various industry magazines.
During my writing process I've cooked breakfast for Molly, made her a toga out of her Cabbage Patch Kids sheet, checked my e-mail 27 times and cooked myself a chicken sandwich with fries.
I've got two pages of false starts that just don't feel right.
I am a terrible, horrible FAILURE of a writer.
Because, y'know... it usually takes less than an hour to knock out a properly worded final draft of anything.

I'd offer to help, although my ways of being a thrifty geek involve an awful lot of self-denial. I am a good beta reader though, if you need someone to be an obnoxious editor for your first few drafts...
