Aw, Victor...but I'm still a rotten pimp, huh? Sorry about that. Of course, I could extend my tiresome virginity metaphor some more...

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Ailleann, sweet! I'm at that point in the publication process for a new book where I'm very glad I'm being distracted with other projects. This is the nerve-wrack time, usually; no reviews out yet, they've got the first pass pages back and we should have galleys soon, the amazon numbers are dormant because it's still a bit too early for heavy pre-ordering and the major reviewers haven't seen the galleys yet. The first industry press review for Matty Groves was Kirkus, and that was in the 15 August 2005 edition.
So normally, I'd be gnawing my nails. Right now, with the proposal for the hiphop arc being sent, the prologue to that being written today, phone calls for Daymond being arranged tomorrow, the prologue and first chapter of New-Slain Knight being written probably next week to start the clock ticking with SMP, and finishing Cleveland Rocks? No time to gnaw.
And erika, I sent your Dylan story to Marlene. I'm also sending her the link to Victor's journal, since we're both in it.

I keep forgetting to congratulate erika on the piece in Victor's journal. Yay!

I wrote it twice...initially her backing out was...a little too sitcom, or something...she lost her notes, or some passive-aggressive thing like that. Which my beta hated.(He was right.) I'll tell him you said so...make his week.

Fay, I'd like to beta for you if you're still looking for readers.
Add me to the chorus of enthusiasm for erika's story. A lot of cool ideas packed in there.
Thoroughly enjoyed connie and Sail's drabbles. Haven't been able to come up with anything myself yet...

Aw...making my little feedback fiending heart glad today. That's what happens when you mix a. life. b. Dreams. and that song about god on a bus. Oh, and a mother that will say "Robert McNamara" like a vile curse.As a kid, I'd have put him at Hitler's right hand...I'm not kidding. Liberals do too have bad guys.
