I've been writing drabbles too long. I'm straing at this paper that needs to be 750 words thinking to myself, "But I can make my point in 100 words or less!! This goes against my recent rules of writing!!!"
You are soooooo COMM'd...
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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

Done deal.
Three-book high drama, men and women, sex for miles, hiphop setting and clubs and love and mistreatment and remorse and a shooting and a suicide....
ita! Juliana! Get your club gear out, bebes. Daymond's flying me down to LA and setting me up with VIP all-access, and oh, by the way "you wanna take some girlfriends in, right?" j, we'll need to get you down to LA. Good thing fares are cheap; we'll set up a hotel for us.
The deal is looking all the way sweet, by the way. 50-50 down the line, including all subsidiary stuff. My agents are the leads on this; his guy, out in Hollywood, will be taking it to the studios, and possibly HBO.
The logline? "Think Sex in the City, but hiphop, from the mens' perspective."
We talk again tomorrow, 1 pm our time. That's when I bring up coverage for the time I'm writing the first 35K words.
Meep.
And this is going to be soooooooooooo good for the Kinkaids.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Way to go, deb!!! That is FANTASTIC!

Did I mention that we're thinking "low" for the first two - $50K to $75K each?
I'll just be over here giggling incredulously in the corner.

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
Hooray deb!!!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm seriously hyperventilating. Not at the project - I can do that in my sleep, although the style is going to be a lot faster than my usual literary stuff is: small hot bites instead of elegant four-course meals.
But I just pulled a three-book deal - worth potentially millions of dollars, because Daymond is who he is - out of my ASS.
My daughter is getting such a nice prezzie from me. She hooks up with the coolest guys, that child does...
