Now I know I'm broken
Nov. 21st, 2006 06:20 pmMy agent phoned an hour ago, to say how much he liked the new book. This is a good thing, and ought to make me happy.
And yet, since then I have spilled cooked rice all over the kitchen floor, shouted at Barry, bitten my tongue (not a metaphor: metaphors don't bleed) and generally find myself absolutely at the ragged edge of functionality.
I am going to give up on the day altogether and retreat to the sofa with a bottle or two of wine, and no ambition beyond making a better fist of tomorrow.
