Just this morning I saw...I feel your fear, Shelley. Just this morning I saw one in our trash can. I screech the entire time I'm squishing it with a very wasteful-but-necessary ball of toilet paper. Our apartment is above the garage/maintenance room so we get house centipedes SO BAD from April to October. Sometimes one a day; recently THREE in one night. I'm crazy when it comes to killing them. My husband and I move the furniture to get it if it tries hiding because the thought of it scurrying around is worse than finding it and getting it. I always make sure to get the small ones, too, because if you don't they'll turn into the dinosaur-like ones. Yikes!!<br /><br />Actually, they're good bugs. They eat all kinds of other bugs you don't want in your carpets and bathrooms. But I still kill it as soon as I see it!! <br /><br />Happy reading and writing! from <a href="http://lauramarcella.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines</a>Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139853104752906641.post-21727363249551736732013-06-11T21:11:11.909-04:002013-06-11T21:11:11.909-04:00UGH!

At all. <br /><br />As for writing fears, I'm dreading my first bad review. So far, I've only gotten a single review-on-a-blog... but it was a GOOD one. But none of us can please everyone, so getting a stinker review is pretty much inevitable.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139853104752906641.post-64875999403866006102013-06-10T23:26:28.560-04:002013-06-10T23:26:28.560-04:00Shelley, how kind of you to mention me in your pos...Shelley, how kind of you to mention me in your post!<br /><br />Querying is scary, and so are centipedes. I loathe anything with many legs or that creeps/slithers on the ground. I would have tossed all night on the sofa too if I had been in your shoes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139853104752906641.post-54828885554149704952013-06-10T19:53:28.356-04:002013-06-10T19:53:28.356-04:00I have a lot of fears about this whole writing pro...I have a lot of fears about this whole writing process. Some days I think I'm just a great big wimp :)<br /><br />But I'm aiming to self pub later on this year (with much prodding and pushing from my CPs) - hope I have the courage mustered by then :)Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139853104752906641.post-8877615070691012262013-06-10T19:44:12.965-04:002013-06-10T19:44:12.965-04:00Centipedes.
