I find that I write best late at night, and just let it pour out til my eyes feel like sandpaper. But then it's 1:30, and I have to work in the morning. And I think, "why can't I be less nocturnal?"
Deb, I wrote about Nilly coming to visit, and I mentioned you blowtorching the oven (first name only).
erika, I wanted to mention you coming to visit and the freak who drew you a picture at the Coffee Bean, but I wasn't sure if that was a memory you wanted to relive in the pages of something that has a tiny chance of being published. But it was so freakazoid surreal I desperately want to include it. Lemme know.
Oh Allyson, I want to read about the Nilly visit. If you're ready to share it, that is.
Oh! Still working on it, Beverly. I need to add a couple of things, including you know, an ending.
Ok, Allyson, include it.
The weirdest part, that's not the weirdest stranger encounter I ever had, but yeah, you can write about it.
Allyson, you can use my name, any or all that you see fit, in anything you choose to write, ever. I love the way you write, and I'm honoured to be in there, and I don't use that word lightly.
Susan, that was really nice.
Crikey, I've just realised, yesterday was a bad day and I'm an idiot. erika! Check your email in a bit - I've had my edits done for you for days and I've been too something-or-other (combo of circs and physical crap) and I forgot to send it.
Please to be vibing for me, not a lot, just a bit. I'm supposed to be getting full commentary back from my agent today, on R&RNF; she loved it but has stuff she wants to talk about. I have the synopses for both. Both novels are done. And Lyssa at Morrow/Avon wants to see the full manuscript of R&RNF. And I want there to not be a lot of stuff Jenn wants done, because I love the books and I want to get this show on the road.
Every vibe in the world for the internet spouse...funny, that's caught on for my local beta, too. He's always asking about "the missus" these days.
Allyson, what Deb said. About being in your book. Besides I've named a character after you, anyway.(I probably should have asked first, huh? But she's a hero, so I guessed it would be all right.)
Deb, not a problem. I could relate...see tag.
(There's this bumper sticker a lot of disability movement people have that says that "natural" thing...to make the point that because we're different, doesn't mean there's anything to fix, nature's infinite variety and so forth..) Everytime I see one, I think of natural things that aren't all that pretty, you know?
Vibeage for Deb, writage for Allyson.
Still pondering green.
Can she have a decent date, erika? I don't want to impose, really, but one of us, either fictional me or real me, should get some smoochies.
In the last book, he was decent, very hot, and married. Maybe she'll get a single one next time...
Thanks, erika. My fictional self is content.
deb, all the good karma you sent my way is spun back in your direction.
