Sometimes the Pen is Too Damned Heavy

I love this picture. I'd like to get ahold of this little figurine sometime. Makes me grin.

One of the things that makes me at all adept at writing is my ability to read people. I've been pretty skilled at reading people since I was a kid. I can take in little nuances such as eye contact, body language, tone and fluctuation of voice in a mere moment and know someone's deal. People have tells. I learn them pretty quick.

Writers are pretty obsverant people, and it makes my craft better than it would be otherwise, but sometimes it's a curse. Sometimes I pick up on things and know things that I wish I didn't know. I've learned to trust my instincts because I'm rarely wrong about those things.

Anyway, a little more work on Frost tonight and then I'm off to bed with someone else's book. I want to snuggle in under my quilt.
