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.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! on second book!

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.

Because books.
Go, erika! Two pages is nothing to sneeze at, as they say. It's a start.
maybe I want literary viagra
I demand to know who your dealer is! Because I could definitely use some of that right now. This scene I'm writing is going so slooooowly...

Don't have any. Sorry. I do put funk on the stereo every day...I think my muse is Superfreak, even if I do have to bring her home to mother at night. And I know that this speed is atypical, Deb. You do write faster than I though, no matter what.ETA: But nobody wants the first one yet, except for in a 'piece of my art" type way(I shared the latest draft with Crush Guy though...if he doesn't like it, I'm gonna quit writing and raise goats, just to warn y'all. Or have a gospel phase, like so many musical legends before me.) I'm not sure I can do both at once, anyway.

Deb, it is what some of my friends call "an attack novel".

Mart, I think it's been sitting in there since 1977 or so, wanting the hell out.
Many thanks to ita for allowing me to use the character that's her avatar in the novel to issue the hard verbal slap to the head that, had I issued it myself way back when, would have meant an entirely different reality than the one I live in now.
Yes, I know. Enigmatic. And keeping it that way.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
