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

I know.

Meep.

My house is about to be untenanted. Of course, whatever edits, and then I start thinking about begging for a beginning to end WIP read-through, and while that's on, I get to start considering what I want to do for the second book, other than the vague idea....

Wow. That's amazing, deb. Good on you.

Aaaand, I think my house is about to be retenanted. I now have the bones of the second one fleshed out in my head: from this point on, any time you see WMGGW in my posts, you'll now it's because I'm too damned lazy to type "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

In which I get to bump off someone else I cordially loathed in those days, or at least, the fictional avatar therefore.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Heh. That didn't take long.

I'm sitting here looking at the Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Electric Guitars.

Basically, Bree is having her present to the groom made: he's a Les Paul freak but he's also got MS and Pauls are heavy suckers. So she's having a top flight Bay Area luthier build him a chambered copy of his favourite Paul Deluxe, (Nic's salivating over the fittings: gold Schallers, etc, spec to be done). And the luthier lives in Menodcino, and it's a secret from JP. And she arranges to meet the luthier at the rehearsal space for the main band (think modern version of the Airplane, or, heheheheh, Quicksilver), because the luthier's been trying to collect payment on a $9,000 guitar he designed for their obnoxious front man. And Bree goes down to meet the luthier and finds the obnoxious front man - whom I shall call Dino, until I find a name for him I can use publicly - with his head bashed in with his own guitar.

Poor Bree. ANOTHER fucking body. ANOTHER fucking secret she can't discuss with JP...

And of course, the luthier is the main suspect, and Bree needs to clear him, not only because she's pretty sure he didn't do it but because he's got to do her surprise wedding gift for JP....

Heh, Deb, poor Bree really is a magnet for murder, isn't she? It sounds like it's going to be a fun romp, too.

Sail, at the moment, I'm really planning on having this one be a bit more light-hearted than R&RNF. But who knows? There seems to be something about writing from his POV that does odd things to my psyche.

Because books.

Perfect! And I'll get to say the word "luthier" a lot, which is fun to say.

Seriously, I can't believe the idea for the second book just rolled right out like that. So it should be done...checks calendar...August 1?

Heh. I get to fictionally bash in the head of someone I wanted to bash at the time, and for many years afterward! WHEEEEEEEEE!

I'm going to try and wait until I get some of the cover-to-cover feedback on R&RNF before starting WMGGW. I may not be able to wait, though.
