My latest creative endeavor, to become a published writer, and the trials and tribulations.

My quill hath blogged

Oh, I'm tired. Waaaayyyy tired.

It's been a bust of a week for writing, blogging about writing, and for sleep in general. One more week and my life will be normal again. That said, this week of camp was 50 times more enjoyable than last week, but I will still not do it again.

I'm thinking vacation would be nice. My 20-year h.s. reunion is coming August 22nd. My LITTLE brother is 36 today. I have not accomplished anything with my life. I have no family of my own, few friends, a career I like but NO money. I feel SO old.

Having not written anything basically for a week makes me feel like I'm wasting my life away, so I'm more than anxious to get back at it. It's my one chance left to say I actually did something with my life, and maybe it'll lead to better things; at the very least, a little financial security for once. I WILL make it happen.

This is Jack's sister:
Cecilia Franklin McCready, 37
Splits her time between the family estate in Berkshire, which they've owned for 200+ years and a townhouse in Mayfair, closer to her work.
Lawyer and investor, very savvy with money, went to Oxford, primary stockholder in 4 corporations.
Started out as a lawyer for immigration - has lots of contacts in UK & US that helped Jack get his citizenship.
Played oboe and piano as a child, was good, but never serious about it.
Loves money and power, comes across as a bitch.
Is very warm and loving to her family, but not very much to anybody else - has a big wall up, which is something she learned from her father and a behavior she adopted to support her ambition as a woman.
Philanthropic, because it helps her be seen to have a heart.
Promised her mother she would do anything and everything to help Jack, and adores him anyway.
Has twin daughters who are 12 and the light of her life. She is a completely different person around them and around Jack than anywhere else.
Her husband, Danny is a lit professor and a very good, down-t0-earth, middle-class, normal guy who she really does love. She did not marry for position or money as most women in her position do. Her mother was fine with this, but it did upset her father when fell for Danny.
Has not succumbed to the vanity and self-pampering that many women with money have. She's a little chubby and lives rather modestly that way.
