..Now what is going on with that kid? He came back from Shawn's house with the most supremely satisfied look on his face that I have ever seen on a person's face in my entire life. Mr. William seems like the cat that has swallowed the canary! That boy hasn't been so "happy" in weeks! I just hope that he has finally decided to settle down and try to put all of his talents to work.
..I talked to his English Comp. prof yesterday and she says that he is a very talented writer. If he is a talented writer, then his dad and I will make every effort for him to be able to put his talents to work! I guess things couldn't be better today!!
..Silliness reigns as usual in other parts of my life!! I got two rejection slips back from the pet magazine yesterday. Heh! That is to be expected!! I guess writing up a story on demand is what pays the bills..so that is how I will write up this particular assignment!! The man wants the story from the"cat's" point of view and not from my point of view!! The only thing to do is to sit down and try to write up the "cat stories" from the cat's point of view if I want to get paid!!! I have tried every other point of view and keep getting encouragement about how I write and what I write, but this particular editor keeps telling me that he wants this particular assignment written as he would have it written and not the way that I see it!! I shall spend the day in close communion with Baxter, our pet tom, and see if I can see life from his point of view!!
..There is about as much chance of me seeing life from Baxter's point of view as there is of me seeing life from Bill's point of view. Nothing has made William very happy now for almost a month. He has really been pissed off since the last newspaper article and keeps asking why he can't do the publicity for the company. Yeah,..right!
..Without getting 'nasty' with him,...I keep telling him that I don't handle that part of the company's business. I just look for people, who could contribute to the company, and stories, that could contribute, and put out a thing or two that might make us all a little more ahead than we were before. That kid has really been sour about something, but this morning, things seem to have improved. I'm glad. Bill and Shawn are bound that they are going to the library again tonight! I expect that they have to keep up with their assignments, but I don't understand why they can't do those assignments over at Stark State? As I don't need another fight,..I'm not going to argue with them. Things seem to be looking up!
..I got the one phone call that I was dreading last night. Rosezelle's aunt died yesterday. At least,..it was expected. I'll bet the angels are rejoycing now! Aunt Mary is up there in heaven, showing them all how to make fritters and biscuits with her White Lily flour!! She was one wonderful lady,..I only met her once,..and I'll miss her. She was a wonderful person!
