Post #2: Shhh I'm Starting My Taxes

Yes, it's that time of the year, and yes, I'm starting early. There's a whole mess of paperwork to untangle and I'd better be a good girl and load the TurboTax programs. Of course, the first evening is all about updates. The damn programs take hours to update whatever it has to update.

You guys know what to expect in the next week or two, right? Pictures of Forms. You know the drill. The more unhappy I am with my tax forms, the more I replace them with my kind of forms here.

Remember these? (COVER YOUR EYES VINCE!)

Form 1040NKED:

FORM 1040BDSM:

See? So much easier to comprehend. Definitely gets my full attention. Makes doing Business Taxes a scream. Or two. Wish I can do that with real life males ;-).

Yesterday, while cleaning out boxes and looking for receipts FOR DEDUCTIONS, I found the notes to my wunder-speech at the Colorado Romance Writers' conference. I reread it. It was quite good! It was titled Desperation Is My Hungry Friend. What Is Yours? I think I might retype it into my A Writer's Block blog because it might be useful to other writers too. The speech contained elements of everything I've told you about myself here and there--how I got where I am, my editor who called me, how I became a roofer, the little Jenn in Malaysia. It's quite long, so I'm not sure any of you would be interested, but perhaps it will help another writer continue his/her quest. Besides, if I type it out, I'll have a place to get a speech for my next gig :::grin:::: instead of me looking everywhere for the dusty notebook.

Damn, I'm good at procrastinating, aren't I? How did looking for deductions morphed into a silly speech about myself?

Bear with me while I learn. The first button likes the POST. The second button likes the BLOG site. Please help me by "liking" me. Thanks!
