had these last few [what seems to be weeks] days merely been 'crazy'; i may have been able to stay sane. But that's ok.
i don't feel like giving a rundown of everything that's been going on. Let's just say; today, i had to lie down because my fresh tattoo was complaining [i've been exposing it to too much unavoidable excericise lately] and the...

"I need you to talk."

k.. pica_pica's birthday dinner on sunday night went very, very well. despite the absence of our orange salad. I'm sure i'll get over it. *whisper, whisper, whisper*

saw the word "writer" in your profile.
explain the process to getting published.
because i have my first draft and it's just sitting here
Well that would depend on quite a number of different things.
How developed is your draft? Are you close to having it be, in your view, good enough?
What kind of work is it?
First step is to start working on polishing or otherwise developing your piece. Second is to start working on good summaries and introductory letters for sending to publishers. Then you should buy the Canadian Writers Market book. It lists many many publishers.
Writing is a great activity, fun and rewarding. Trying to get published is not. It is living hell. Dont even try if you cant take rejection and uncertainty or if you have no patience. The basic process is to send inquiry letters out to every publisher you can get an address for and that even slightly fits the style of your work. Then they either dont respond
If you dont feel your draft is ready for publishing as is I would suggest you find some people to give you feedback, like a writers group. You could even post segments to one of the two writers groups on SG. I might be interested in starting a new writers group in Vancouver so that might be a possibility.
Respond some and I will see what I can do to answer more of your questions or help you.
quite usual for a sugar fiend such as myself
