So nervous. My intended audience has the book right now. Added to the nerves is....it was courtship behavior. You know? Wanna bite my nails...except I used to be a hypochondriac so I could never ever do that...you know where they go, right? Ew. I think he covets your machete, Deb.
Jayne: Here's a little concept I been workin' on. Why don't we shoot her first? Wash: It is her turn.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
erika, he'll get my machete when he pries it from my cold dead fingers - or when he proves to me that he has any right to it.
I want to sit and write and instead I have to assemble furniture. Meh.

Oooh, furniture. If I was there I'd help, Deb. I like putting furniture together.

We've just had to carry it up the stairs. There are 27 stairs.
We're talking a full size Billy bookcase and a Nygaard table.
My whole body is saying rude things. And we still have to build the fucking bookcase.

You have my sympathies. My mom once bought four billy bookcases with doors and the extenders on top. My muscles twitch just thinking about it.

Too true, Deb. I just think he admires it. Doesn't mean he should have it.

My husband is shimming the Billy. He just asked me if JP and Bree shop there, just for fun. I said maybe, but I bet he gets convenient exacerbations whenever heavy shit has to be moved. And I bet she mutters to herself.
Must build extensions.

The Continuing Story of Connie Cleaning Out Her Books
Anne, the book went out today, should be there by Wednesday.
New book up for grabs--"The Writer's Complete Crime Reference Book", by Martin Roth. Types of crimes, types of weapons, police work from local to international, how gangs operate, etc. Most of this information is probably as easily found and more current on the Internet, but here's a book if you'd like.

What is even happening?

My email is overloaded with all sorts of stuff I neglected to delete this week--mostly lj updates. I want to make sure I read all you've sent, and read it in order.

To give you a marker, the last bit I can find that I've received is from the 25th of June and includes the knee. :)

Cindy, I've added a bit, but since I'm actually working on the next chapter, might as well wait for the next bit. The additions are all to the, er, knee, and are subtle, and made at the request of a couple of my male WIP readers who let me know a bit about what it's actually like to be at the receiving end of the, er, knee, rather than the business end. They're small changes, but fun.
BTW, if anyone's interested in the murder weapon, it gets made because Vinny the Victim held up one really gaudy guitar and told the luthier, top that.
Someday I really need to try out a PRS guitar. They don't draw me, usually.
