We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I don't think she IS with Andrew.

No, she's not "with" him. But she's his focus. She's what he wants, chases, won't allow to rest. She's the reason he's still there.

And "ghost" is fine; it's a ghost story, after all...

Yep, back to the Garden (Joni Mitchell moment just went through here...)

Because books.

Sorry I disappeared -- it was time for Princess Stinkypants' nap.

OK, howsabout this?

Looks good. I love writing copy. It's a word puzzle -- you have to include X number of details in Y number of words, for maximum "must read this!" effect. (And that's the only math I like to do.)

Princess Stinkypants

There is no limit to my love for this phrase.

I usually adore writing copy; I'm one of the few people I know who can write a classic, one-page, grab-the-agent and/or grab-the-editor synopsis and not take more than ten minutes to do it.

But the musician presently playing on my creative stage isn't Ringan Laine, it's JP Kinkaid.

I'm-a send this off to Toni Plummer at Minotaur, and get back to rock and roll. Thanks to Amy, Bev and connie!

Some days I change it to Princess CrankyStink.

I usually adore writing copy

I usually write five or six pieces of copy a month freelance, and most of the time it's great fun. Although the one I had to write about "Asatru, Nordic Heathenism" the other day was a little baffling. I'm definitely better with fiction, and switching voices between chick lit, historical romance, romantic comedies, and traditional Regencies is always cool--it's like trying on costumes for an afternoon.

Glad to help!

Always Anti-fascist!

Guess what! There's gonna be a second book, a little different than the one I was picturing, but I remembered something that happened to somebody I knew once and...well, it turned out to be a good thing I'm moving slowly this AM. I'm still not a machine like deb g though, sadly.

Don't get too hugely excited, internet spouse. I can't go all night like you...maybe I want literary viagra. It's only two pages of prologue.

erika, my love, if you think this current spate is typical or usual or normal for me, think again. It's just that this book seems to want out, possibly because it's also the first time I've ever put myself, any age of myself, lock stock and barrel into one of own books.
