A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Ok, I fucked up the syllables on haiku. Who's gonna beat me NOW?

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

Probably whoever wrote Tep that stupid email.

I don't want to be spanked by a stranger!

I mean, I know it's shocking, but I DO have standards.

Because books.

I have been writing all. damn. day. and am so tired. You guys are making me giggle helplessly.

Amy, I just sent out Chapter Seven. Star bubbles, angel's breath, really frickin' careful with it.

How's yours coming (no pun intended)? I want to know if Rhys and the PR chica have made it to bed yet.

Because books.

Oh, they've made it to bed several times, two outlined in all its sweaty detail, the others just suggested. And they've got one more time to go! Hot makeup sex!

Only...sixty pages left to write. In two days. Um, fear me?

You can do it - did you get your Black Moment sorted out? Because it did occur to me that as a working class London boy, well, I've known a few, two biblically, and I know where there pettiness can come from.

But if they've had hot sweaty makeup sex (on the floor of the restaurant, by any chance?) then I suspect he's already done a Bad Bad Thing and made up for it.

No one's really doing a Bad Thing -- they've got some communication issues at this point, and her own sudden and very uncharacteristic honesty is freaking her the fuck out. And he's been lying to her, only to protect her, but as a scrupulously honest guy, that's freaked *him* out, as in he's realized why people do that sometimes, and also how much he cares about her.

It's not a big Black Moment, but it's all I can do at this point. A lot of the book is (supposed to be) about honesty, including the reason for the murder, so it feels emotionally right to me. I can't do a big, unrealistic, melodramatic Black Moment because it just doesn't fit.

The restaurant, sadly, isn't finished yet, so they never got to have sex there. But now I'm wondering where they will have the makeup sex... Hmmm.

Actually, you've just described my favourite kind of black moment. I'd take that over the surrreal melodrama in a heartbeat.

Can't they have sex amid the construction? With the city shining in the windows, and the skyline, and shit?

Or you could maneuvre them over to the Trump...
