Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

The status is NOT quo.
WOOOOOOOT ALLYSON!

No, Allyson. I think you write very well. And I think it'll be a great book. Are Nilly and I and the crazy man still in it?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Oh yes. Yes you are.

It's so good to have confirmation of that strange power I've got. To bring the psychos into the yard.

So, probably Spring 2007, and I need to give them another 30,000 words, soon.
What if I have no more words? Words gone.
And i suppose I need to have a spiffy picture taken.
Mostly? I'd like a nap.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
They want another 30,000 words on this one? Kewl. Do you know what you want to start with? Do you need a confab?

I have no idea yet whether they'll want more essays, fattening up of essays already there, both, or what.
I think I'm just waiting for all the contract details to get ironed out and then will talk about that with the editor.
He said some lovely things about me an email to my agent, things I don't get because they're about me.
I'm terrified of the next 30K words.

Don't be terrified. Truly. The words are there; so are the inciting incidents.
Any number of them, and we've got your back.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmm. How will we get her words out...
Allyson, I'd love to give taking a spiffy photo a shot. Can you like pictures of yourself?
