And hey! You fly?<br /><br />Nevets - Interesting on all three fronts! (All three sound like they have issues!)<br /><br />Kjersten - So awesome to see you in LA, too! And, maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure I can ever make laundry a "want," although I do want clean clothes. Maybe it's a "should-want" to do chore (a cousin of cleaning the bathroom). <br /><br />Sherrie - I WANT THAT, TOO!

Do they have to be? If they do, then maybe they are really wants and how can I make them or approach them more as wants. Or maybe I'm making choices that don't fit enough with who I am and I ought to adjust what's a should. <br /><br />Of course the best combo is when the shoulds and the wants are in cahoots.<br /><br />Anyway, fun Monday Moment, Jolie.<br /><br />And it was great to see you at the conference.Kjerstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934151755377892504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594040799707431375.post-77917434061918014572010-08-09T08:13:57.986-07:002010-08-09T08:13:57.986-07:00Well, as I'm juggling two WIPs right now becau...Well, as I'm juggling two WIPs right now because I'm insane, I will answer for both.<br /><br />MC #1 of <i>Real Stakes</i> is rich enough and confident enough he doesn't do shoulds anymore, except when it comes to paying alimony. Given that his ex has a job and a husband with a job, he would enjoy skipping the alimony simply because its a should.<br /><br />MC #2 of <i>Real Stakes</i> is governed by shoulds and loves it that way. The only want might be for more shoulds.<br /><br />MC of <i>Ennui and Malaise</i> would have a really, really tough time with this one as it's in a lot of ways the very crux of the story...C. N.
